Crown has begun shipping its new line of four XLS Series amplifiers. The XLS series amplifiers implement a flexible PureBand Crossover System with which a user can select crossover points from 50 Hz to 3 kHz, allowing for precise matching on most bi-amplified loudspeakers. The new XLS amps also have Integrated DriveCore Technology, which acts as a power conditioner built into the amp to adjust for AC line sag or distortion from other equipment, such as backline or lighting gear. Crown says the new technology also provides fast recovery on peaks, accurate reproduction of low-level detail, and precise tracking of low-frequencies at high power levels. The amps come in a new industrial design chassis with a cast front panel. They have integrated rack handles and weigh under11 pounds. Crown Audio. 574-294-8000. crownaudio.com.
