Crown DCi8|300DA

Overview

Eight-channel, 300W Power Amplifier with Dante™ Networked Audio, 2/4/8Ω and 70V/100V

The DriveCore Install DA series is a line of premium installation amplifiers with Dante™ networked audio transport that are based upon proprietary DriveCore technology. These amplifiers feature an efficient design with network control/monitoring, high-level DSP with JBL tunings, and 2Ω/4Ω/8Ω/70V/100V direct output compatibility.

INTEGRATED DANTE™NETWORKED AUDIO – Simplifies installation by enabling Dante 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.

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.

PROGRAMMABLE GENERAL PURPOSE INPUT/OUTPUT PORT – GPIO ports can be configured in many different ways, such as volume controls, recall presets, or to report errors to third-party control system.

DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSING – DSP capabilities include the following:

LevelMAX Limiters

Input/Output EQ

Crossover

Delay

Matrix Router

Speaker Line Monitoring

Recommended for: Installed Sound.
