About Crown Audio CDI 2X300
Let the CDi 2X300BL DriveCore Series 2-Channel 2x300W Power Amplifier revolutionize your audio experience. This advanced, high-quality amplifier is the next step in audio technology, offering an unparalleled blend of superior performance, comprehensive features, and cost-effectiveness.
Drawing on technology from Crown Audio's flagship Installed Sound amplifier, the Crown DriveCore Install series, the CDi DriveCore 2|300BL is engineered to deliver exceptional functionality in a wide array of small to medium-sized installations, from bustling restaurants to retail stores.
This powerful 2-channel amplifier is equipped with network control and monitoring capabilities, high-level Digital Signal Processing (DSP), and a user-friendly front-panel interface. It's designed to drive up to 100Vrms speaker loads without the need for a transformer, making it a versatile choice for various audio setups.
The 2|300BL also features BLU link, a cutting-edge technology that enables the transmission and reception of channels over HARMAN's digital audio BUS. This innovative feature enhances the amplifier's connectivity and flexibility.
The CDi DriveCore line comes pre-loaded with JBL speaker tunings, simplifying and speeding up the installation process. Crown's proprietary DriveCore technology minimizes the number of components within each amplifier, reducing variability, enhancing reliability, and delivering stunning audio fidelity from a highly efficient design.
Through HARMAN's HiQnet Audio Architect software, the CDi DriveCore can be seamlessly controlled, configured, and monitored via a standard TCP/IQ network. The on-board DSP allows for custom configuration and includes integrated features such as an Input Router, Input Delay of up to 1000ms, 8-band Input Parametric EQ, Crossover, 8-band Output Parametric EQ, Output Delay of up to 100ms, and a LevelMAX Limiter.
Each output channel is capable of providing either 70V or 100V for high impedance applications, and the amplifier can be fully configured using the intuitive front-panel interface. The combined GPIO/AUX Port allows for preset recall, channel muting, fault monitoring, power on/off control, and more.
Experience the power and versatility of the CDi 2X300BL DriveCore Series 2-Channel 2x300W Power Amplifier, designed to deliver superior audio performance in a wide range of applications.
