Crown DCI2300 2x300W Power Amplifier

The CROWN's DCI 2/300 DriveCore Install Analog Series is a 2-channel amplifier that can deliver power 300 watts per channel and works with resistors of 2, 4, 8, and 16 Ohms or 70 or 100 Vrms. Channels can be bridged to power more powerful applications such as a subwoofer. The DCI2/300 also has channel-independent high- or low-impedance output, which is selectable via DIP switches on the rear panel. This enables you to integrate the amplifier into a bunch of alternative setups. Each of its two channels does have independent attenuators with a 0 to -80 dB attenuation range.

The 2/300's front panel comprises a variety of system indicators, such as level and signal, ready, clip, thermal, and fault alerts, for quick visual monitoring of the system. The unit can be integrated into a control system to switch on and off as well as enter sleep mode to save energy when not in use. The 2/300 is 2U rackmountable and comes with two male wiring cables and an IEC power cord.

• 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
• Minimum Guaranteed Power Ratings: Delivers at least the rated power in the specifications over a long period of time
• Direct Drive "constant voltage" capabilities on a channel by channel basis for 70 Vrms or 100 Vrms amplification without using 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 efficiency and is designed to deliver maximum power no matter where the amplifier is located; universal AC input accepts 100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz (±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 touring amplifier
• Cooling System: Focus airflow on parts that need it most, maximizing efficiency while minimizing heat and noise
