Crown XLS Series Extends Line With New XLS 5000
Feb 26, 2008 8:06 PM
The XLS Series, Crown's
workhorse amplifier line for musicians and DJs, has now been extended with the
addition of the new XLS 5000. Delivering 1,800W per channel in four-ohm stereo
mode and 5,000W in four-ohm bridge-mono mode, the XLS 5000 claims to pack quite
a punch.
Housed in an all-steel
chassis, the XLS 5000 is equipped with a forced-air fan to prevent excessive
thermal buildup. The front panel sports dual precision-detented rotary level
controls, a power switch with accompanying LED and six additional LEDs
indicating signal, clip and fault for each channel. Rear-panel connections
include two electronically balanced XLR inputs, as well as touch-proof binding
post and Speakon outputs. The XLS 5000 also employs extensive protection and
diagnostics capabilities, including output current limiting, DC protection,
circuit breaker and special thermal protection of the unit's transformers.
The XLS 5000 will be
available early this spring for $1,399. For more info, check out
