• Crossover

• The latest technology 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

• Tru e R ac k De ns it y – po we r p oi n ts o f 30 0W o r
600W in 2/4/8 channel configurations and
1250W in 2/4 channel configurations; includes
bridgable outputs of 300-2500W, all in a 2U
form factor, providing flexibility in designs

• Minimum Guaranteed Power Ratings
– DCi amplifiers are 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

• HiQnet Audio Architect™ supported amplifier

• 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%)

• DriveCore includes five patents that
are also included in Crown’s flagship
touring amplifier I-Tech HD4, providing
best-in-class versatility and durability

• TCP/IP based protocol in HiQnet™ for
network monitoring and control

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

• BLU link compatibility – low latency, fault
tolerant, digital audio bus, capable of routing
256 channels using standard Category 5e
cabling (over a distance of 100m between
devices), provides an unprecedented level of
routing flexibility

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.
