CDI DriveCore™ Series
Features
DriveCore™ Technology – Crown’s
proprietary DriveCore technology
eliminates hundreds of components
within each amplifier, reducing the
variability of component values,
increasing reliability, resulting in
incredible audio fidelity from an
efficient design.
Network Control and Monitoring –
Through HARMAN’s HiQnet Audio
Architect software, the CDi DriveCore
can be controlled, configured, and
monitored through standard TCP/IQ
network.
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
DSP – On-board Digital Signal
Processor in each amplifier allows for
custom configuration and includes
these integrated features:
• Input Router
• Input Delay – Up to 1000ms
• Input Parametric EQ – 8 band
• Crossover
• Output Parametric EQ – 8 band
• Output Delay – Up to 100ms
• LevelMAX™ Limiter
BLU link (BL models only) – Both
receive and send channels over
HARMAN’s 256 channel, fault-tolerant
audio BUS, BLU link.
Direct Drive 70/100Vrms Output –
Each output channel is capable of
providing either 70V or 100V for high
impedance applications.
Front-Panel Interface – Completely
configure the amplifier using an
intuitive front-panel interface.
GPIO/AUX Port – Recall presets,
mute channels, monitor faults, power
on/off the amplifier, and more
through a combined GPIO/AUX Port.
Pre-loaded Speaker Tunings –
For quicker and easier setup and
installation.

Specifications subject to change without prior notice. Latest information available at www.crownaudio.com. Crown offers a three-year, no-fault, fully transferable warranty for every new Crown amplifier – an unsurpassed industry
standard. With this unprecedented no-fault protection, your new Crown amplifier is warranted to meet or exceed original specifications for the first three years of ownership. During this time, if your amplifier fails, or does not
perform to original specifications, it will be repaired or replaced at our expense. In most cases, the only things not covered by this warranty are those losses normally covered by insurance and those caused by intentional abuse.
Plus, the coverage is transferable, should you sell your amplifier. See your authorized Crown dealer for full warranty disclosure and details. For customers outside of the USA, please contact your authorized Crown distributors for
warranty information or call 574-294-8200. © 2017 Crown Audio®, Inc.
