Crown XLS 202 Review

considering the last video i made of this am was somewhat rushed and just a basic overlook of the amp...i decided to make a full and comprehensive (and sort of run-on) review of said amp. i mention my own thoughts on this amp along with some key features you may be looking for in your next amplifier.


man i should get paid for this sorta advertisement HAHA.

Please put a video on how to connect it properly to the mixer with does Xlr wires

[codemsan]

@iKnifeU123 Its really simple. the XLR cables are gendered, or thaey have Male and female ends, the male ends go to the amp, female ends to your mixer. Just do one cable at a time and you will be set.

nice amplifier i might get the 802

[codemsan]

@P1001AT2 802 is a nice unit, too much for my setup, but should prove a GREAT amp if you get it.

Don't think you would ever one of these in a studio...

NICE REVIEW I JUST BOUGHT THIS AMP USED THANKS :0)

[codemsan]

@dvamateur I think more power is better, as long as you handle it properly. But if you are worried about blowing them then maybe a weaker amp is the way to go. and Yes it is true that using TOO weak of an amp can distort and hurt the amp/speakers, so try to find something in the 80-100W range

[dvamateur]

@codemsan How about the new digital Onkyo amp? It has 40W per side at 8 ohms. Maybe that would be a safer amp? But then I hear that if a week amp is strained, then it distorts and can burn the speakers, too.

[codemsan]

@dvamateur They should sound absoulutely fine.

[dvamateur]

@codemsan Hmmm... Still hard to make anything out of it. They usually run the NS-10Ms on Bryston amps, which are about 250W per side, and the speakers supposedly sound their best with the Bryston amp, but I won't be able to muster $2K+ for a Bryston amplifier. I got the XLS-202 from B&H for a very little over $200, so where's the catch? Why is the XLS-202 so cheap?
