CROWN XLC 2800 - Two-channel power amplifier, 800 W @ 4 Ω

The CROWN XLC 2800 is a two-channel power amplifier designed for installed sound and cinema applications, delivering 800W per channel into 4Ω using patented DriveCore™ technology. Its ultra-compact, lightweight chassis facilitates rack integration, while its energy efficiency minimizes power consumption without compromising Crown’s professional sound quality and reliability. Compatible with monitoring and crossover systems such as the CXM2000 and DSi-8M , the XLC 2800 guarantees precise control and instant diagnostics in demanding environments.

Main features

• Power: 800 W per channel at 4 Ω; 500 W on the XLC 2500 model (for comparison)
• Compatibility: Monitoring and crossover with CXM2000 and DSi-8M
• Load stability: 2 Ω, 4 Ω, and 8 Ω in stereo mode; 4 Ω–8 Ω in bridge mode
• Parallel Connection: Allows cinema surround speakers in parallel
• LED indicators: Power, Signal, Clip and Fault for immediate diagnosis
• Volume control: Precision rear potentiometer
• DriveCore™ Technology: Efficient amplification and weight less than 6 kg
• Rack dimensions: 1 U (48.3 × 8.9 × 26.4 cm)

Product benefits

• Simplified installation: 1U format and reduced weight facilitate assembly and save space.
• Energy efficiency: Lower power consumption and heat dissipation thanks to DriveCore™, with a wide voltage range switching power supply (100–240 V AC)
• Professional sound quality: THD < 0.5%, S/N > 103 dB and 20 Hz–20 kHz (–1 dB) response guarantee clarity and power
• Control and Safety: Advanced protections and built-in monitoring prevent damage from overload or short circuit.
• Versatility of use: Ideal for both fixed installations in conference rooms and auditoriums and for sound systems in movie theaters.

Use cases

• Integration into digital cinemas for powering front and surround speakers.
• Sound installed in auditoriums, theaters, and corporate event halls.
• Sound reinforcement in commercial environments: shopping malls, restaurants with background music, and bars.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can I use it in bridge mode? Yes; in bridge mode, it supports loads from 4 Ω to 8 Ω.
• Is an external fan necessary? No; it features optimized internal ventilation and intelligent temperature control.
• What voltage ranges does it accept? Works with 100 V, 110 V, or 220–240 V AC (±10%).
