Crown DCi 8|300 DriveCore 8-Channel Analog Power Amplifier
The DriveCore Install series amplifiers, specifically the Crown DCi 8|300, epitomize high-performance installation amplifiers leveraging the innovative DriveCore™ technology. These DCi Series amplifiers are crafted to meet the highest industry standards, offering system integrators advanced features and unparalleled flexibility necessary for complex installed sound applications in the modern era. Key Features: True Rack Density: These amplifiers offer power points of 300W or 600W in 2-/4-/8-channel configurations, all packaged in a compact 2 Rack Unit form factor. This density allows for smaller infrastructure rooms, potentially reducing operational costs while offering versatile installation flexibility. Direct Drive Constant Voltage: Drive speakers using either 70Vrms or 100Vrms with smaller gauge wiring, eliminating the need for a step-up transformer at the output. This results in higher audio quality and more efficient operation. Channel Independent Hi-Z/Low-Z Selection: Flexibly drive one or two speakers in low-Z mode or numerous speakers in high-Z mode (70Vrms or 100Vrms) on a channel-by-channel basis, allowing for better design flexibility. Bridgeable Channel Pairs: Unlike some competitors, the DCi Series channels are bridgeable, even in 100Vrms mode, providing adaptability for higher power applications such as subwoofers. Remote On/Off Interface: Integrating the amplifier into a control system enables easy on/off functionality, helping conserve power. Efficient Cooling Design: Highly efficient internal cooling fans provide optimal airflow, minimizing wasted energy and noise while maximizing cooling. Advanced Power Factor Correction (PFC) Universal Power Supply: The amplifier's advanced power supply delivers power efficiently in various conditions, reducing power dissipation and heat in racks.
