  • 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
• True Rack Density - power points of 300W, 600W, or 1250W in 4/8 channel configurations; includes bridgeable 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 efficiency, 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
• Integrated Dante™ / AES67 networked audio - simplifies installation by enabling Dante / AES67 networked audio signals to be sent directly to the amplifier

For applications that require Dante or AES67 networked audio, the Crown DriveCore Install DA Series provides a balanced combination of output power, channel count and speaker load flexibility along with proprietary DriveCore® technology for superb efficiency and exemplary audio quality. The DCi DA Series includes a high-powered DSP with JBL speaker tunings, network control/monitoring, and the ability to drive 2/4/8/16 ohm, 70V and 100V speaker loads. The amp's advanced capabilities and support for Dante Domain Manager makes it perfect for installations that have standardized on Dante for networked audio transport.
