The XLS Series, Crown's workhorse amplifier line for
musicians and DJs, has now been extended with the addition of the
beefy new XLS 5000. Delivering 1800 watts per channel in four-ohm
stereo mode, and a staggering 5000 watts in four-ohm bridge-mono mode, the XLS 5000 packs more than twice the punch of the next highest-powered model in the range, the XLS 802.
"Providing more watts per dollar than any other amplifier in its
class, the XLS 5000 represents a tremendous value to end users who
need a big amp without a big price tag," says Andy Flint, Crown
Vertical Market Manager, Portable PA. "By pairing this amplifier up
with JBL's MRX, SRX or VRX loudspeaker enclosures, our customers can
now have access to a highly professional yet economical all-Harman
solution."
Housed in a rugged, 3U, all-steel chassis, the highly reliable XLS 5000 is equipped with an efficient 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(r) 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.
Like the rest of the XLS Series, as well as all other Crown
amplifiers, the new XLS 5000 is backed by the manufacturer's industry-
exclusive Three-Year, No-Fault, Fully Transferable Warranty.
Featuring a street price of $1399 (USD), the XLS 5000 will be
available in early spring.
