http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/m...,2105654.storyTypically, Reggie Bushs body doesnt feel right until days after a game.In a normal week, the Dolphins running back said, your body usually doesnt start to feel good until about Friday, Saturday.
So imagine how his body will feel when the Dolphins take the field at Buffalo tomorrow night. The Thursday night game is one of those necessary rigors of the NFL. But its hell on your body.
The consensus advice from the Dolphins lockerroom for getting through the short week: live in the ice tub, get a massage, do lots of stretching, stay off your feet, compress your film study.
But it still wont be easy playing on Thursday. Lots of players agreed with Bush. They said its days before they recover from a game.
Wide receiver Jabar Gaffney said its Friday. Defensive tackle Paul Soliai said Thursday or Friday. Left tackle Jake Long said Wednesday. Center Mike Pouncey is a Friday guy. And hes not ashamed to admit it.
I aint gonna lie to you, he said. I dont start feeling good until Friday.
Now they have to play on the fourth day. So, adjustments are made.

Ridgway boys basketball used a 17-0 second half run to pull away from the Kane Wolves en route to a 63-43 victory Wednesday night as part of Senior Night.
Kane had kept with the Elkers in the first half and trailed 34-30 entering the third quarter. The Elkers then scored 17 straight points to bulge the lead to 21 past the midpoint of the third quarter.
JOHNSONBURG – The Johnsonburg Ramettes (13-5) were on the wrong end of a 9-0 start Wednesday night before righting the ship in time for a come-from-behind 33-28 win against visiting DuBois Central Catholic (8-10).
The Ramettes used a 10-2 run late in the second quarter to take a 20-17 lead to the locker room. Late game theatrics, however, nearly cost Johnsonburg the game.
The trial of a Ridgway man charged with arson and related offenses following a Dec. 4, 2008 fire at 115 First Ave. in Johnsonburg began Wednesday in Elk County Court, with the man's son and co-defendant in the case serving as the prosecution's star witness in testifying against his father.
Progress is continuing at the Ridgway YMCA as officials are trying to raise $1.6 million for their "Shape our Future Capital Campaign" for pool renovations and exercise room expansion.
Veolia Greentree Landfill in Fox Twp. may be under new ownership, but no significant change in operations will take place according to recent correspondence from the buyer.
Ruth M. Baumgratz, 82, of 521 Church St., St. Marys, died Wednesday, Jan. 30, 2013 at her residence after a lengthy illness.
She was born Sept. 21, 1930, in Dunkirk, N.Y., daughter of the late Albert and Sophia Wojcinski Griswold. On Sept. 25, 1954 in Dunkirk, N.Y. she married Carl F. "Harry" Baumgratz; who survives.

Redemptorist missionary, Reverend John Joseph Salamon, 93, died peacefully on Tuesday, Jan. 22, 2013, at Saint John Neumann Residence in Stella Maris, Timonium, Md., while surrounded by the members of his religious community who were praying for him.
On Saturday, Jan. 26, a viewing was held from 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. in the first floor Chapel at Stella Maris, followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at 11 a.m. Following the Mass, interment took place at Sacred Heart of Jesus Cemetery, in Baltimore, Md.
Saint Leo School students and their families held a March for Life recently to remind our community that life is precious from the moment of conception until natural death. Students chanted, sang, and prayed as they remembered all the unborn babies who have died through legalized abortion over the last 40 years in the United States. The March for Life ended with students laying red roses in front of the stone for the unborn on the church lawn.

Series: Responding to "Laudato Si'" by Pope Francis (4 entries)
Pope Francis's June 2015 encyclical has stirred international conversation on how science and faith come together on the question of ecology and climate change. This short series features several responses from friends of BioLogos, including world-renowned Christian climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe. The series concludes with closing thoughts by BioLogos content manager Jim Stump.
The Aroma of the Knowledge of God: How the Sense of Smell Inspires Worship and Awe
I've always thought of the sense of smell as a more intimate sense than most other senses. For in smelling, the thing that we smell becomes almost a part of us.
An Ancient and Dynamic Universe
While reading about and studying the processes that gave rise to this astonishing world, please don't forget that it is beautiful. It is not merely mechanics, but poetry.
Series: Evolution Basics (50 entries)
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
Origins News Roundup for August 20, 2014
From science and religion blogs: quantum uncertainty and God, the remarkable fact that we have come to understand our place in the created order, and the role of theology in making wise choices about the use of technology.
Faith after Literalism: An Interview with Michael Gungor
Musician Michael Gungor talks about the recent controversy over the evolution of his views on evolution, science, and biblical authority.
What Do the Arts Have to Do with Evangelism?
The purpose of Jesus's art was to give verbal, visual, and dramatic forms to those complicated and confounding relationships, symmetries, and harmonies between himself, the father and spirit, and between the triune God and the world… Such creative expressions did not and do not make everything clear, but rather resist simple clarity, forcing their hearers to come at the whole complicated truth from a position of intellectual and spiritual humility.
No Place Like Home: An interview with ECF grantee Seung-Hwan Kim
Everyone is so worried about success and getting this or that honorable diploma—the people here are smart and understand many complex things perfectly—but it's a long distance from the head to the heart.
Creation for Kids
Children's books are more than stories. They can become familiar narratives children listen to over and over. So it's worth asking - Are the books we're reading doing a good job of portraying God and His Creation?
Series: Creation, Evolution, and the Over-Active Imagination (2 entries)
New Videos Online from the ECF "Author of Life" Project
When you are in church, do you act and speak differently than when you are in school? Do you tend to compartmentalize what you learn about in Biology class from what you learn about in Sunday School?
The Noah Movie
Russell Crowe as Noah was no superhero. He was very human—perhaps too human for those who'd prefer he remain in the flannel graph world of our Sunday School stories.
Praying the Psalms: Psalm 19
The Psalmist is saying that when we walk outside and look up, the heavens are telling us two things about God: they tell us about his glory, and they tell us about what his hands can do.
An Enriched Creation
Scripture gives us multiple ways of looking at things, and a classic example of this is the parables of Jesus. Many of these involve looking at nature. For example, natural events like seeds growing—and what Jesus seems to be saying is look there is a surface reading of nature—and then there is the deeper reading, where you begin to realize there are levels of meaning that we don't pick up on our first acquaintance.
Seeing God in the Stars
As a Christian, I can't think of a more beautiful process for God to have blessed the production of the elements that we need for life than the beauty of stars. In fact, we are told that we shine like stars in the universe.
To Tame the World: What terrifies us about reality pushes us toward its Creator.
We can understand why man, modern man in particular, would like to mop the floors and bleach the walls. We might not be able to tame reality, but we can tame our perception of reality. We intellectualize in order to feel in control.
Series: Poetry, God, and the Natural World: Meet Writer Kathleen Housley (2 entries)
Stress and God's Built-in Neuro-sabbath
"For a few moments, it felt like our little church community was surrounded by glory. The wisdom of Christ in the hypothalamus was illumining the wisdom of Christ in the prophets and gospels."
Walking the Walk: Thoreau and the art of seeing nature
What can a practicing scientist in the 21st century—even a "bench scientist" like me whose scientific forays are confined to a laboratory—glean from a 19th century wanderer like Thoreau?

Quentin Tarantino's Ten Boldest Moments
Few directors working today offer more surprises per film than Quentin Tarantino, which is why it pays to go into his films knowing as little as possible before hand. But most of Tarantino's surprises are seasoned with a characteristically impressive nerve, which allows him to get away with things most filmmakers might shy away from. Her

...I strongly recommend as well, because I am not hearing from this user since she started using the quick reference card."
Great idea. All the information that you need in one place and easy to access. Great for a college student with limited time."
I bought several books and it takes time to read through all the stories to get to the important content. This two side set of directions skips all the stories, gets right to the important stuff. It's pretty basic, but perfect for a beginner. You need the book to get to the more complicated items, but this will get you started doing a project. Worked great for me."
This by far is the best help guide I have ever gotten. It makes looking up things very easy and very quick."
I got this a 'cheat sheet' and found it very helpful! I keep it at my desk at work and noticed it has a tendency to disappear so I notice others find this as helpful as I do."
Thanks to this handy laminated quick tips sheet, my new Windows 8 was much easier to tame. It still is a puzzle and a maze, but I keep this sheet under my keyboard and have only torn out half my hair. It is really, really helpful."
Keep this at my work desk. It is really helpful and easy to reference. I just started using Excel, co-workers are asking me questions about Excel. They don't know I have this little secret at my desk."
… this four-sided, 8"x 11" laminated card simplifies the basics, better than I've ever read anywhere else. Focus is on the desktop, and it will be familiar to Win7 users... Microsoft should just buy a bizillion of these and ship one out per OS."
Quick and slick...right to the point...very helpful!"
I just wanted to say as I am about to order 100 more cards for our organization, how friendly and quick you were in fulfilling our order. Thank you so much for all of the help that you provided. The cards have made the training classes that we have held very productive, and really satisfied the need that we had for a learning tool to accompany the demonstrations. Thanks again, and we look forward on using your services in the future."
I use your cards all the time. They're a great reference tool without having to flip through a ton of pages to find a quick answer. I use them as a teaching guide in many of my classes. And the students love them! When I give them a choice between a workbook and one of your cards, they usually choose the card."

text: The essay accompanying Dematerialization, up now at Pterodactyl Gallery in Kensington, includes the observation that "many contemporary artists and art productions have aligned with minimalist Donald Judd's 1965 declaration of 'disinterest in doing [painting and sculpture] again.'" In the work on display in Dematerialization, curated by Jamie Png, this "disinterest" has extended to a negation of artistic intent, narrative, and in some cases even aesthetic appeal. Many pieces conceptually show art as providing an open-ended experience, rather than an intentional creation, while others question the essential presuppositions of the art world. This type of experimentation is a delicate tight-rope for artists ... More » »

The girls at DANNIJO sleep, dream, live, and eat jewelry... and so do we (dude it's calorie free!). But every so often, we need to take a break from gobbling up cuffs and cocktail rings to nosh on some real food. So, last night we gathered at West Village restaurant Kingswood to nosh on nom noms—including the best rocket salad we've ever had— with a very chic, very blinged-out gang to celebrate #NYFW, and of course, some wild-style jewels. Instead of the typical presentation, Danielle and Jodie Snyder were the designers we've heard of to do a dinner mise-en-scène to showcase their new fall '12 baubles. An array of 'Jo muses donned a piece from the new collection and wore them during the meal—no standing still, no runway, no bright lights, just the product in real life. We're guessing this was probably the only Fashion Week event where it wasn't a "don't" to show up wearing the same (or similar) piece.
Check out the amazing arm party, eye candy, and guests-turned-models, and tell us how you'd style the statement pieces!

Tomorrow (Saturday, May 18) is Armed Forces Day, which honors Americans serving in the five branches of our military: the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force and Coast Guard. In addition to the brave men and women who defend our country and assist others around the globe, we'd like to take this opportunity to pay tribute to another kind of hero—the U.S. military working dog, or MWD.
According to the Department of Defense, in early 2012 there were approximately 2,700 MWDs serving worldwide, keeping us safe and performing important tasks that can be difficult, if not impossible, for people. Some experts estimate that the average military dog saves 150 soldier lives during his or her career.
Thanks in part to the efforts of animal lovers like you, late last year Congress took action in the National Defense Authorization Act to protect these canine heroes. Their post-service adoption processes are being streamlined and the Department of Defense is working on authorizing a veterinary care program at no expense to taxpayers. And while it might not mean much to the dogs themselves, it means a lot to us that all retiring military dogs will receive letters of commendation for their service.
We thank the Defense Department and the U.S. Air Force, which administers the Military Working Dog Program from its Lackland base in San Antonio, Texas, for recognizing that our government's commitment to these amazing animals' well-being must extend beyond their period of military service.
Show your appreciation for the selfless service of our canine heroes by sharing this article on Twitter with the hashtag #MilitaryDogs.

Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.

Check out http://ecomodder.com/forum/open-revolt-open-source-dc-motor-controller.html
if you want to read about the whole story!
Experience in soldering is important. If you want to really keep costs down, a mill is helpful, but that work can be outsourced to a local metal shop.
Step 1: Get/Make a power board and control board.
You could print the picture from this link and somehow transfer it onto a piece of heavy blank PCB, and etch it with a dremel if you have a ver y steady hand. The dimensions are 8"x6". This link also has the G-code that you can use to etch with a CNC mill or you could give the G-code to a machine shop.
Picture 2 and 3 below is an example of an early power board I made with a Dremel.
You can get a control board from me or you can make the control board in your favorite PCB layout software using the schematic here::
And here are some pictures of the PCB layers:
A predone control board is Picture 1.
Pictures 7 and 8 are the power board top and bottom. The 8 solder spots are just where vias were added.
Once you have the 2 boards, you can go to step 2.
There are several links that are broken in the instructable above. Files may last forever on the internet, but they don't stay in the same location ;)
You can download the various files for several versions of the controller here
And if you'd like to take a look at the rest of the wiki as well ...

Hi! I'm a part of FS hybrid team, your instructable/blog is a invaluable source for amature and students like me
I have a query, in your motor controller how did you isolate the 12V and the high voltage side?
We have a kelly contoller (which has the problem having common ground), any solution / way to isolate the grounds other than an 12V isolated DC-DC converter run from the low volatge side?
Awaiting your response
Thank you in advance
Just a thought, you could eliminate a lot of voltage spike issues by mounting the controller as close to the motor as possible. Any time the length of the wire between the motor controller exceeds the diameter of the wire, the collapse current becomes significant. Since Vpeak = di/dt, and you have a peak current of ~500 amps, if your switching time is <1ms which I'm guessing it is, this will result in a spike of 500 000 volts! These voltage spikes can damage the control circuitry. This is assuming that you are having voltage spike issues to begin with. Regardless it is typically a good idea to mount the power control board as close as possible to the motor.
To clarify - 500KV spikes are real but only open loop, where the input impedance is very high. You are are clamping the spikes to 25V with your protection circuit.
Not that I doubt you, but where are you measuring the spikes. The ones that I am referring to is the reverse against the driving fets from the motor and supply cables to it. If you're getting results around 25 volts then you have done a damm good engineering job and kudos to you sir.
ps awesome response time
Another issue is that the voltage spikes are a result of firing into a reactive load, which is more like a motor prevented from spinning. A freewheeling motor (which I heard) will not cause inductive kickback as much as if you lock the parking brake and do it, you should try that.
A wise teacher of mine who makes giant stepper-motor controllers (and Aerco pre-amps) says that the key to protecting your fets is a combination of small and large diodes (they have different properties) and resistor-capacitor snubbers and most importantly, MOV (Metal Oxide Varistors) which are your first line of defense.
But i definitely know that the spikes are worst when the motor is stalled.
It's my senior project for college. Great excuse to rip around campus with a less than legal electric car!
I'm pretty sure every wire I've ever used was longer than it's diameter.
Great project. Thanks for sharing.
Anyone know of similar specs controller for 144v BLDC motor?
Hi Paul! Thanks for the great instructable. Firstly, many of the links
are dead so kindly update them. Secondly, i want to do a variant of this
controller that has 24V - 48V, and a max current of 150A (for a 2.2KW
motor). What modifications do i need to make to your controller and/or
power boards to reduce cost? (I know your set up will work but i think its an over-kill for a 2.2kW motor, what do you think?) I intend to make my first instructable out
of this and provide full credits to you. Any help will be thoroughly
Would it be possible to create a controller that can handle 24V at 1000A?
I can not download the schematics for the control board. Please help.
The schematics are available here:
Hope this helps you. :)
i am from india, want to build electric car as well as a bike.

I leave in Mauritius.
I need a motor controller for 24 volts that will run the thing either from a wired throttle or eventually a servo output from an RC receiver OR an actual servo mechanically coupled to a pot that is wired to the controller (This should give perfectly isolated power from the vehicle's 24 volt system and the RC's 6 volt system, yes?)
I WANT to have the option to run it via RC or to be able to plug in a wired controller because the vehicle will be large enough to sit on when complete.
Can someone please suggest a source for such a controller? I DO NOT have the original controller from the Mobility Scooter, or I would gladly just use it. I know I could buy another controller for the chair or a similar model, but I would like to see what else gets suggested, first.
Thank You!
I'm working on electic car project in Algeria.
Many thanks,

The holidays are finally over, but now that the aftermath is taking shape in the form of credit-card bills, it's hard to pull ourselves out of this wintertime slump. And, while we're dying to pre-order pieces from our favorite Spring '13 lookbooks (hello, Raoul!), we're just not ready to wear pastel-colored frocks quite yet. Because those bland pullovers aren't going to soothe your cabin fever, it's up to our favorite luxe fabric — brocade — to do the heavy lifting.
The shuttle-woven material, which often boasts a metallic sheen, only looks super-expensive, and because there's no shortage of brocade options in of-the-moment silhouettes, we can take our pick at any price (no additional debt necessary). So, no matter your budget, we rounded up a dozen unfussy brocade pieces that are perfect for mixing textures to your heart's delight.

What is so bad about BrandThunder themes?
Have you noticed some of the new themes for Firefox are being called, interactive? This puzzled me for some time, as I was curious as to what they meant by this. So, since most of these themes came from the developer, BrandThunder – I tried out the Puppies theme they developed.

Equine Veterinarian
Where did you grow up?
Mont Vernon, New Hampshire
Where do you live now?
Topanga, California
What was your senior project?
"The Leadership Role of Matriarchs in Elephant Cow/Calf Groups in the Elephant Population of Tsavo" - a research paper analyzing matriarch data she collected while on the conservancy in Kenya.
Did you go to graduate school?
Yes, I earned my DVM from the School of Veterinary Medicine at University of Wisconsin.
What's your current job?
I'm an equine veterinarian.
What do you want to make sure people know about COA?
I don't think there is any other small college where students receive such a complete education in such a large variety of fields. Even though COA is small, there are more opportunities here than at most other colleges. For instance, the internship requirement encourages unique experiences in a student's particular field. During my four years at COA, I interned with equine veterinarians in Wales and Oklahoma. I also found a research opportunity in Kenya, working on conservation land for three months.
I had always wanted to go to Kenya, and COA's internship requirement provided me with a reason to go. I was able to meet with well-known elephant researchers about my own research. The connections made outside of the classroom are very valuable for the future. Anything that interests you is possible at COA if you have the drive to follow through.

Round 3 Theme + Palette
In the last round there was some question as to whether or not the clusters and QPs should be included in the 15 to 20 elements. My original instructions did not specify whether or not they did and the questions were asked and answered later in the thread. I really feel that it creates a problem when questions are asked and answered later in a thread because everyone does not have time to keep coming back and checking things so they go on what they read originally, plus with such an international forum English in not always the first language of many members. We have three kits in this round that have too many elements. Floral Fantasy by Mitsybelle will move on because there were 22 elements so I will give her the benefit of the doubt and assume that she thought the clusters and QP were not included. Unfortunately Just Jazzin' by Marta Van Eck had 26 elements and Elegance by MoMo had 24, even considering the clusters and QPs they are still over.
I want everyone to know that I have put a lot of thought into this and I am being as fair as possible. Since having a minimum/maximum on the elements & papers has caused some problems in the first two rounds I am lifting the quantity requirements. I would prefer to keep the rules as simple as possible but please read the requirements very carefully because I do not want to loose a talented designer because of a simple misunderstanding.
Those of you who have been with SAS from the beginning probably know that SAS started with a special focus on Heritage and Genealogy. Jan W runs the SAS Genealogy and Heritage Center and has great challenges monthly. Jan W is very knowledgeable about genealogy and she has a special touch with Heritage layouts. With that in mind I am going to take us back to our roots with this challenge. The kits designed for this round must contain some elements that would be suitable to be used in Vintage/Heritage layouts and use the provided color palette. Use your own discretion in deciding what to make and the members will be the judges as to how well they fit the theme.
Contestants are encouraged to blog about their entries and ask people to vote for them but giving away prizes in exchange for voting is prohibited. You may give out add-ons on your blog.
Each entry must include,
Two cluster elements
There must be two previews for each kit showing whatever you choose to show.
You may use metals if you want.
You may use tints and shades that are lighter or darker as long as they are the same hue (color.)
SPECIAL NOTE- Do not use black and white in the round, see the palette below.
Quality Control
Entries will not be checked for quality but all kits must follow the industry standards as stated below.
Papers must be 12 x 12 at 300 dpi and saved as a jpg.
All embellishments must be 300 dpi and have a transparent background, the standard format is PNG.
You must include your TOU in each kit
There must be 2 previews included in the zips
Check for stray pixels (select item, make a new layer above, stroke selection with a bright color, stray pixels will show up)
Color shifts- Stay within the color palette provided,
Check the edges of your paper carefully to make sure that you brought all layers to the edge while designing the paper.
All elements must be on their on their own file.
No drop shadows on elements, but they are allowed on layered elements.
Size all of the elements properly, close to the size they should be.
No copyrighted materials can be used.
You should only use Commercial Use items if you have purchased them or gotten them as freebies in a legitimate manner, pirates will be thrown overboard.
You must post your entry in the Designer Contest gallery by 6 p.m. on the specified day. All entries must be hosted on your own file sharing account (4-Shared etc ) and must be available for download by the SAS members throughout the entire contest, even if you drop out or do not make it to the next round. All entries remain your property.
The voting will be done strictly by the SAS registered members. Since it is often difficult to pick just one favorite and to help offset the concerns that design contests become popularity contests members will be allowed to vote for more than one entry.

I hate to be poking in and causing trouble, but I completely don't understand what "off white your choice of what color" means in the palatte. Do we get to choose one additional color or is it our choice of what hue is more dominant in the off-white, as in warmer or cooler off white?

I'm having deja vu. Didn't I answer this already? I think she means you can pick your shade of off-white. You don't have to specifically use the one she shows in the palette.
Not De Javu Lori, there's a duplicate thread of the theme and pallette

The XLS 2500 is a leader in portable amps, with DriveCore Technology, PureBand Crossover System, and Peakx limiters.
Crown's XLS 2500 is a premiere, portable power amplifier with unmatched performance, technology and affordability. Its advantageous flexibility includes multiple inputs so you can plug in anything and play anywhere, along with several system setup configurations. This high-performance power amp provides enormous power and flexibility thanks to the integrated DriveCore Technology, PureBand Crossover System and Peakx limiters. Weighing less than 11 pounds, the Crown XLS2500 power amp is much easier to set up and move from show to show.
Integrated DriveCore Technology
Class D amplifiers are notable for extraordinarily high efficiency and being well suited for driving difficult reactive loads such as subwoofers. However, their performance can suffer impaired performance on marginal and unstable AC line supplies. To overcome this obstacle, Crown engineers developed DriveCore Technology-a proprietary hybrid analog-digital integrated circuit (IC) developed with Texas Instruments that drives the "front end" of the Class D output stage. Over 60 years of Crown's design knowledge and experience went into the development of this technology resulting in truly remarkable benefits. DriveCore Technology provides an extremely wide tolerance with regards to sagging or "dirty" AC line conditions, providing consistent performance without affecting audio quality. This means the Crown XLS2500 power amp won't compromised your performance by fluctuating generator power, or overload from lighting rigs, backline gear, etc.
In addition, DriveCore Technology's patented feedback and PWM modulation circuits enable fast recovery on peak transients, accurate reproduction of low-level detail, and precise tracking of low-frequencies at high power levels for maximum subwoofer output.
Advanced Switched-Mode Power Supply
The advanced power supply in the Crown XLS2500 power amp is highly efficient and optimized for maximum power transfer from the AC line through the Class D output stage to the loudspeakers. A benefit to this is substantial weight reduction when compared to older 60Hz transformer-based power supplies. All four models in the Crown XLS line weigh 10 pounds or less with no compromise in performance. This makes the Crown XLS2500 power amp and others in the XLS Series the benchmark for high-performance, lightweight portability.
PureBand Crossover System
The PureBand Crossover System in the Crown XLS Series adds an enormous amount of flexibility and performance to any system. With this system, the crossover frequency is completely variable allowing the choice of any crossover point between 50Hz and 3kHz on 1/12 octave centers. The use of 4th order Linkwitz-Riley filters provides steep slopes for a seamless transition between high and low drivers. And with four crossover modes to choose from providing the ultimate in flexibility, all of your system needs are covered.
Peakx limiters
Peakx limiters provide the ultimate in performance and protection for your entire system. This advanced algorithm was specifically developed and tuned to work with this amplifier and power-supply to achieve higher sound pressure level (SPL) with less audible artifacts. This means less distortion, less shutdowns, and maximum safe power delivered to your speakers. The Peakx limiters can be easily turned on or off by channel right from the front panel eliminating the need to be digging around in the back of the dark rack.
Performance, technology, and affordability. That's the Crown XLS series.

Comments about Crown XLS2500 DriveCore Series Power Amp:
The sound is crystal clear and I like the fact that you can use the built in crossover to cut off low freq (like stage rumble) from coming through the PA when you are using full range speakers. Here's the "not so good" parts:
1. The banana plugs on this amp have some kind of plastic pieces installed so you can't really use them. The manual says "Note: Binding post outputs on European models come with safety plugs installed...". So maybe I got a European model amp? I can work around it but why put banana plugs on the amp if you can't use them?
2. If you want to use the amp in parallel mono mode, you have to run a jumper cable from one channel/side of the amp to the other. Most amps let you do parallel mono by moving switches on the back of the unit. Again not a BIG deal but it is a head scratcher. Overall, I like this amp and would recommend it BUT...READ THE MANUAL BEFORE USING IT some features are not intuitive.

Good amp for the money. I use it to power a pair of Peavey SP118 Subwoofers in lowpass bridged mode for live sound. It also does a great job at powering a pair of subs on one channel and a pair of mains on the other in crossover mode. I like the amp.

This is an excellent and powerful amplifier for Live Sound and of course, Pre-recorded music. We needed to update our amplifier line with lighter more stable amps in lower voltage settings, and crown delivered... This is our first experience with crown, switching from QSC, and we are more than happy... especially with their 3 year any excuse warranty! The DSP function is great and easy to dial in what you need... the amp has neutrik AND banana connections for speakers which helps a lot to have both! Bridged Mono is how we use this delivering a clear transparent 2500 watts into our speakers... There is a reason touring companies use Crown... and the price is unbelievable... Kudos to Crown... Well done.
Comments about Crown XLS2500 DriveCore Series Power Amp:
I bought 2 of these to run a combination of EV mains and subs. The plan was to use the DSP and set one up for the subs and the other for the mains. Just for giggles I tried running one amp in stereo using the built in crossovers for both my 18" subs and my EV SB122 12" subs. I was shocked by the power I got from running in stereo without the DSP. I set up loads of both 4 (sub and Main) and 2 ohms (sub and dual mains) and found excellent sound. I even ran one side at 4 ohms and the other at 2 and found the channels in balance with plenty of reserve power. I now run my main system (EV SX300's and SB122's) off on one amp and keep the other as a backup. On a recent gig the power was provided by a generator for the park and it was not setup properly. After sound check, we went to go live and both amps had a thermal fault showing. The generator was throwing 140 volts. We had the electricians correct the power setting on the generator board and all worked well. This is a good thing. The amps shut down vs. blew up - Class D power is different and more touchy than the Class A tube amps on stage but this amp is built correctly and protected itself. 10 lbs., great power, great sound. great price for the power

Used it at a show same night I got it. Easy to use, intuitive menu system. Filters, Crossover, and DSP run on both channels. Turned out awesome for running 2 SP118 subs in small venue. Sounds beautiful bridged and rockin at 11 on a single SP118. Definitely a stepup and spacesaver. The weight (11 lbs) is AMAZING!
