About the XLS 1500
The Crown XLS 1500 is a high-performance, lightweight Class-D power amplifier designed for portable PA systems and professional audio applications. It delivers 300 watts RMS per channel at 8 ohms, 525 watts at 4 ohms, and 775 watts at 2 ohms, with bridged mono modes providing up to 1550 watts at 4 ohms. Featuring integrated PureBand crossover system with Linkwitz-Riley 24dB/octave filters, it offers four crossover modes (crossover, low pass, high pass, bridge) with adjustable frequency from 50 to 3000 Hz. The amplifier includes Peakx limiters to maximize output while protecting speakers, multiple input options (balanced XLR, 1/4", RCA), and outputs via binding posts and Neutrik Speakon connectors. It has a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz (-1 dB), signal-to-noise ratio of 103 dB, and total harmonic distortion under 0.5%. Cooling is managed by internal heat sinks, forced-air front-to-back ventilation, and an automatic rear fan. The unit weighs 8.6 lbs and fits in 2 rack spaces (19"W x 3.5"H x 8.125"D). It comes with a 3-year warranty and is noted for its reliability, efficiency, and ease of setup and transport compared to heavier competitors.
