Crown’s XLS DriveCore 2

“The Crown XLS DriveCore 2 series amplifiers set new standards for performance and value at their price point and feature Harman’s proprietary DriveCore technology, which combines high power output with exceptional energy efficiency. We designed these amplifiers to provide features such as more flexible DSP, selectable input sensitivity and remote power trigger operation. They are ideal for a wide range of live, portable PA and installed-sound applications. With the Crown XLS DriveCore 2 series, our goal was to build an amplifier that would provide the best combination of power and value available. This award nomination is especially satisfying, as it comes from our dealers.”

Peavey’s IPR-2 Series

“At Peavey Electronics, shaking up the pro audio industry with innovative power amplifier designs has become our stock-in-trade. More than 30 years ago, we were the first to break the dollar-per-watt barrier. Not long after that, we became the first manufacturer to mass produce a class-D amplifier for use in live audio applications. We debuted our first switch-mode power supply over a decade ago. Then, in 2009, we launched the IPR series and, once again, Peavey revolutionized the power-amp industry. The Peavey IPR-2 Series builds upon Peavey’s legacy of innovation, with power amplifiers that are lightweight, energy efficient and extremely powerful!”
—Fred Poole, GM, Product Development, Peavey Electronics
