PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Crown Audio DCI8X300DA-U-EKFX 300W 8-Channel Power 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. This amplifier is EN 54-16 Compliant for life safety applications.

The Crown Audio DCi 8|300 DriveCore Install Analog Series is an 8-channel amplifier capable of producing 300 watts of output per channel and works with 2, 4, 8, and 16 Ohms or 70 or 100 Vrms. Channels can be bridged for powering higher-power applications such as a subwoofer. The DCi 8|300 also has channel-independent high- or low-impedance output that is selectable from the rear-panel DIP switches. This allows you to integrate the amplifier into a variety of different setups. Each of its 8 channels additionally features independent attenuators with an attenuation range from 0 to -95 dB.

The front panel of the DCi 8|300 provides a series of system indicators, including 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 for powering on and off as well as engaging its sleep mode for saving energy when not in use. The DCi 8|300 is 2 RU rackmountable and ships an IEC power cord.

• Integrated Dante™ / AES67 Networked Audio – Simplifies installation by enabling Dante / AES67 networked audio signals to be sent directly to the amplifier. Provides flexibility of installation options available with our expansive line-up of DriveCore Install amplifiers. Includes support for Dante 4.0 firmware for integration with Dante Domain Manager.

• Network Configuration, Monitoring & Control – Better monitoring, control and audio manipulation with the HiQnet™ protocol over standard TCP/IP network. The HiQnet Audio Architect software allows for remote configuration, monitoring, and control of all aspects of the DCi-DA Series amplifiers.
