Its a Crown

by TFI Entertainment from Kansas City, Mo.
November 25, 2009
Music Background: Professional sound technician/ musician/ manager for over 30 years
Was a little skeptical at first about a Crown amp being so cheap, thought I might be getting some generic amp with no guts and a Crown badge..........man was I wrong. I have been using Crown products ... read more [+]for many years so I know Crown quality very well. This amp is pure Crown, clean, quiet, and smooth as glass with all the guts you will need. It improved the sound quality here in my home studio/ rehearsal space immensely. My sales rep..Matt Masek..was incredible, he bent over backwards to make sure I was completeley happy. Rock on Sweetwater......... close [-]

This amp is the best I have ever owned. I use it to power two Yamaha BR12-M's and the speakers and amp blew me away. I would recommend this amp to anyone who wants a solid amp at a rock bottom price.

Crown XLS 402

by Josh Liechty from Indiana, USA
February 1, 2005
Music Background:
We got this amp to power two Yamaha SM10V's, which are run on separate channels. In our relatively small auditorium (seats ~500, tightly), it provides _plenty_ of power - enough that we try to ke... read more [+]ep it locked up to prevent anyone from [intentionally or otherwise] turning the level controls more than 1/8th of the way up. ;-)

The sound quality seems to be very good for the price, though I can't really compare it with anything else that's more expensive. However, the fans are _extremely_ loud (relative to every other 80mm fan that I've heard). You will _not_ want this amp anywhere near the mixing location - or anywhere in the room, for that matter - in a H.O.W. environment, or any other situation where background noise needs to be kept to a minimum. close [-]
