Crown DCi 8|300, DCi 8|600, DCi 4|600, DCi 4|300, DCi 4|1250 Data Sheet

DCi Analog Series

Features

• Based on Crown's proprietary
and patented DriveCore™
technology, these amplifiers are
the next generation of PWM
technology using cutting edge
Class D amplifier topologies

• True Rack Density – power points
of 300W or 600W in 2/4/8
channel configurations and 1250W
in 2/4 channel configurations
with bridgable outputs of 300­2500W, all in a 2U form factor

• Minimum Guaranteed Power Ratings
– guaranteed to deliver at least the
rated power in the specifications
over a longer period of time than
any other competing amplifier

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

• Direct Drive "constant voltage"
capabilities on a channel by
channel basis for 70Vrms or
100Vrms amplification without the
use of a step up frequency limiting
transformer for higher audio quality

• Powersave includes an auto-standby
mode where after 30 minutes of no
audio input, the amplifier powers
down and consumes less than 1W; this
feature can be enabled and disabled
via the back panel DIP switches

• Advanced PFC universal power supply
provides market-leading efficency,
and is designed to deliver maximum
power no matter where the amplifier
is located; universal AC input accepts
100 – 240VAC, 50/60Hz (±10%)

• AUX Port provides additional flexibility
for amplifiers to be integrated in
control systems for remote on/off
and amplifier fault monitoring

• DriveCore includes five patents that
are also included in Crown’s flagship
I-Tech 4x3500HD touring amplifier

• Revolutionary cooling system, focuses
airflow on parts that need it most,
maximizing efficiency while minimizing
heat and noise

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. © 2015 Crown Audio®, Inc.
