2 XS

2 X 850W CLASS H AMPLIFIER

Product at a Glance

Engineered for professional sound reinforcement systems, the 2 XS delivers a robust 2 x 750W output at 4 ohms, ensuring tight bass response, clean mids, and detailed highs across a wide frequency spectrum. Designed with X Series PSL preamps, Gorilla Limiters, and advanced circuit protection, it offers a controlled, high-headroom solution ideal for mobile rigs, subwoofer drivers, and club installations. With a nominal gain of 26 dB and a >500 damping factor, the amplifier ensures enhanced speaker control, even under extreme load.

Its compact 2U rackmount profile features Speak-on and binding post outputs, rotary volume knobs, and intuitive output LED monitoring, ensuring efficient system tuning and fault identification in the field. Constructed with a black aluminum chassis and matte star white front panel, the 2 XS combines aesthetic appeal with professional-grade durability. Its optimized airflow and low power draw of just 5.6A at 120V make it a top choice for touring applications, small venue sound systems, and fixed installations where the power-to-size ratio is critical.

CRAFTSMANSHIP

Painstakingly Perfect Production

Over the years, craftsmanship has been closely linked with small scale individualistic production. Back in 1972, we started the same way. As we grew in scale & size, it was difficult to build each speaker individually, but quality control was of utmost importance as so switching to a general assembly line was simply not an option. So we wrote up a code, one quite like enigma, to ensure quality control. We selected the right partners, got the right tools, and in cases where those weren't available, we invented them. We grew slower than most as our aim was to last longer than most.
