Crown XLS402 power output - so much confusion :-(

[Guillaume]

Hi everyone

I just got myself a Crown XLS402 - the price was so low I couldn't resist to get it as a spare / lightweigh-ish power amp for my rig from the bay

The unit didn t come with a manual and when I started doing deeper search on the web I did find a lot of different info regarding the power output.[list]
[*][url="http://rdn.harmanpro.com/product_documents/documents/2889_1433884260/140715-1_1-08_XLS_Chinese_Manual_original.pdf"]Here it says [/url] >> 2X450@2ohms / 2X300@4ohms / 2X900@8ohms / No bridge mode
[*][url="http://www.performanceaudio.com/media/pdf/54/3435_s.pdf"]Here it says [/url] >> No 2 ohms / 2X450@4ohms / 2X300@8ohms / 1X900@8ohms
[*][url="http://www.manualslib.com/manual/33818/Crown-Xls-Series.html?page=16#manual"]Here it says[/url] >> 2X520@2ohms / 2X400@4ohms / 2X260@8ohms / ...
[/list]
And the more i search the more i find new specs ...

So i m really confused now. If you have any input on the subject that would be amazing !

PS : this is the latest version I believe, which looks like this

I guess I would go with whats in the manual, afterall the makers should know.

Email crown with the serial number and ask!

Or just measure it yourself.

There have been at least a couple of versions, and the first posted link is only for the Chinese market version of the first build spec.

2x900w into 8 ohms? Not likely. Get the ratings from the Crown website.

hi guys - thanks for the input. I will drop a line to crown

Indeed some rating are truly awkward

the serial is 8500185155

Just as a side note I am quite surprised there was so many different version with such widely different output under the same ref. First time I see this.
