The Crown XLS 1502 DriveCore 2 is a lightweight titan ready to transform your sound. This Class D powerhouse packs a staggering 1550W (at 4 ohms bridged) into a chassis that weighs less than 11 pounds, delivering pure, clean audio without breaking your back. With a sleek new look and a larger LCD screen that's easy to read from a distance, it provides the colossal headroom your speakers need for a powerful, pristine sound in any venue.
Muscle Without the Mass
Lugging lead-heavy racks up flights of stairs is a young person's game. This Class D dynamo uses Crown’s patented DriveCore technology to keep the weight under eleven pounds while dishing out devastatingly deep power. You get chest-thumping bass and crystal-clear highs, all while keeping your chiropractor off speed dial.
Patented DriveCore Technology: Merges hundreds of parts into one highly efficient chip, giving you massive volume, unyielding reliability, and a feather-light footprint.
Peakx Limiters: Push your levels to the absolute brink. These smart limiters squeeze out maximum output while fiercely protecting your precious speakers from blown cones and distortion.
PureBand Crossover System: Take total command of your frequencies with integrated crossovers, ensuring your subs handle the lows and your tops handle the highs flawlessly for a tighter, punchier mix.
Dialed-In Digital Brainpower
Raw power is nothing without precision control. The XLS 1502 ramps up the DSP capabilities, giving you a brainy backline that adapts to any venue's specific acoustics. From expanded filters to a display that doesn't require squinting, it puts the steering wheel of your sound firmly in your hands.
Upgraded DSP & Band Pass Filters: Tailor your tone surgically per channel, carving out the exact sonic real estate you need to make every instrument sit perfectly in the mix.
Massive LCD Display: Three times larger than the previous generation, making menu navigation in dark clubs a breeze rather than a frustrating guessing game.
Selectable Input Sensitivity: Switch between 1.4Vrms and .775Vrms effortlessly, guaranteeing your amp gets driven to full, glorious power no matter what mixer or interface is pushing the signal.
Engineered for the Dark, Dirty, and Demanding
Live sound is inherently unpredictable. You need gear that adapts on the fly and doesn't draw unwanted attention. With flexible inputs to handle any cable tossed your way and smart environmental controls, this amp plays nice with your whole rig while staying frosty under extreme pressure.
Dark Venue Mode: Turn off every glowing LED except the vital clip and thermal indicators, keeping the crowd's focus locked on the stage instead of your blinking rack gear.
Security Settings & Sleep Mode: Lock down your dialed-in settings with a custom button combination to prevent tampering, and let the amp automatically snooze after a set time to save power.
Flexible I/O & Smart Cooling: Armed with XLR, 1/4-inch, and RCA inputs for universal plug-and-play connectivity, while efficient forced-air fans actively banish thermal buildup before it begins.
The Undisputed Heavyweight Champion of Lightweight Amps
The Crown XLS 1502 DriveCore 2 proves you don't need to haul a ton of steel to sound like a million bucks. It blends brainy digital signal processing, brawny output, and bulletproof reliability into one sleek, road-ready package. Plug in, power up, and let your sound soar above the noise.
