XLS 602 (120 V, 60 Hz models)

The power amplifi er shall be a solid-state two-channel model.

The amplifer shall provide extensive protection and diagnostic capabilities, including 
output current limiting, DC protection, circuit breaker, and special thermal protection 
for the unit’s transformers.

The front-panel controls shall be two black detented level controls (one for each 
channel), a power switch, and a circuit breaker for overload protection.

Front-mounted indicators shall be Clip: one red LED per channel which illuminates 
when the channel’s output signal is being overdriven, Power: one green LED which 
indicates that the amplifi er has been turned on and AC power is available, and Fault: 
one yellow LED which illuminates when amplifi er is in protect mode and briefl y 
during normal power-up when amplifi er is fi rst switched on.

The recommended load impedance shall be 2 to 8 ohms per channel in Stereo and 
8 ohms in Bridge Mono. The amplifi er shall be safe when driving any kind of load, 
including highly reactive ones.

The rear-mounted output connectors shall be two 4-pole Speakon

®

 connectors (one 

per channel) and a pair of 5-way binding posts per channel. Rear-mounted input 
connectors shall be 3-pin balanced XLR connectors.

The power amplifi er shall meet or exceed the following performance criteria: Input 
sensitivity for rated output at 4 ohms: 1.26 V. Rated output with both channels driven 
with 0.15% THD  (at 1 kHz) in Dual mode: 840 watts per channel into 2 ohms, 600 
watts per channel into 4 ohms, and 370 watts per channel into 8 ohms. Rated output 
with 0.5% THD (at 1 kHz) in Bridge-Mono mode: 1,200 watts into 8 ohms and 1,680 
watts into 4 ohms. Frequency Response at 1 watt, 20 Hz to 20 kHz: ±0.75 dB. Phase 
Response at 1 watt: –10 degrees at 10 Hz, +19 degrees at 20 kHz. Signal to Noise 
Ratio below rated power (20 Hz to 20 kHz): greater than 100 dB A-weighted. Total 
Harmonic Distortion at full rated power from 20 Hz to 1 kHz: less than 0.15%. 
Intermodulation Distortion (60 Hz and 7 kHz at 4:1, from full rated output to –40 
dB): less than 0.3%. Damping Factor (8 ohms): greater than 200 from 10 to 400 
Hz. Crosstalk (below rated power, –82 dB at 1 kHz, –58 dB at 20 kHz. Voltage 
Gain at maximum output: 31 dB. Input Impedance (nominal): 20 kilohms balanced, 
10 kilohms unbalanced. AC Line Voltages and Frequencies Available (±10%): 120 
VAC/60Hz and 230 VAC/50 Hz.

The amplifi er chassis shall be constructed of steel with a durable black fi nish and 
shall be designed for fl ow-through ventilation from the front panel to the back 
panel. Internal heat sinks with forced-air cooling shall provide rapid, uniform heat 
dissipation.

The dimensions of the amplifi er shall allow for 19 inch (48.3 cm) EIA standard (RS-
310-B) rack mounting. The amplifi er shall be 3.5 inches (8.9 cm) tall, and 14 inches 
(35.6 cm) deep behind the rack-mounting surface.

The amplifi er shall weigh 27.2 pounds (12.3 kg).

The amplifi er shall be designated the Crown XLS 602
