A series designed for the XLC cinema ecosystem
The XLC series is specially tailored for cinema installations and includes two amplifier models as well as a listening and processing processor. The goal is clear: to provide a coherent foundation for in-room playback by combining amplification and monitoring tools. In this context, the XLC2500 is positioned as a 2-channel field-oriented solution, designed to meet the power and robustness needs typical of cinema operations.
The range is designed to work with JBL Cinema loudspeakers such as the 3252 (N), 3722 (N), 3732, 3730, 4722, and 4732, and to pair with a processor providing the necessary 2-way passive and active filters for their use. This approach allows building a structured installation where each element maintains a precise role in the audio chain.
For which rooms and uses?
The Crown XLC2500 is aimed at cinema installations seeking reliable amplification that is simple to operate and easy to monitor: independent auditoriums, multiplex complexes, or projection spaces requiring solid and stable playback. It is particularly suitable for environments demanding clear reading of operating statuses (signal, clipping, protection) and clean integration into an existing architecture.
It is also relevant when supporting parallel connection of cinema surround loudspeakers, a common configuration in rooms to optimize coverage and playback coherence. Finally, the rear-mounted volume control fits well with fixed installations: once calibrated, the amplifier remains secure and less exposed to accidental adjustments.
Questions frequently asked
What power does the Crown Audio XLC2500 deliver according to impedance?
The amplifier delivers 2 x 775 W at 2 ohms, 2 x 500 W at 4 ohms, and 2 x 300 W at 8 ohms. In bridged mode at 8 ohms, the rated power reaches 1000 W.
Can cinema surround speakers be connected in parallel?
The design supports parallel connection of cinema surround speakers. This configuration meets the coverage requirements encountered in theater installations.
With which JBL Cinema speakers is this amplifier compatible?
The XLC range is designed for JBL Cinema speakers 3252 (N), 3722 (N), 3732, 3730, 4722, and 4732. A processor providing two-way passive and active crossovers is required in this setup. The XLC2500 is compatible with the CXM2000 processor for filtering and monitoring.
Can the XLC2500 be remotely monitored?
Compatibility with the Crown Monitor System DSi-8M allows integration into a supervision system. Indicators for power, protection, signal, and clipping also facilitate local monitoring.
What rack space should be allocated in a cinema rack?
With dimensions of 48.3 x 8.9 x 20.6 cm and a weight of 3.75 kg, this model features a format suitable for rack mounting.
