About Crown Audio CDi 2|600BL

Experience the next level of audio amplification with the CDi DriveCore Series 2-Channel 600W Professional Power Amplifier. This advanced, high-quality amplifier is a product of innovative technology derived from our flagship Crown DriveCore Install series. It's designed to deliver powerful, high-fidelity sound in a variety of medium-sized installations, from cinemas and houses of worship to bars and lounges.

The CDi DriveCore 2|600BL is more than just a 2-channel amplifier. It's a comprehensive audio solution that includes network control and monitoring, high-level Digital Signal Processing (DSP), and a user-friendly front-panel interface. It's capable of driving up to 100Vrms speaker loads without the need for a transformer, making it a versatile choice for any audio setup.

One of the standout features of this professional power amplifier is its BLU link capability. This allows the amplifier to send and receive channels over HARMAN's digital audio BUS, enhancing its connectivity and functionality. The CDi DriveCore line also comes pre-loaded with JBL speaker tunings, simplifying the installation process and ensuring optimal sound quality.

At the heart of this amplifier is Crown's proprietary DriveCore technology. This revolutionary technology eliminates hundreds of components within the amplifier, reducing variability and increasing reliability. The result is superior audio fidelity delivered through an efficient design.

The CDi DriveCore also boasts an on-board Digital Signal Processor. This 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.

The amplifier's network control and monitoring capabilities are facilitated through Harman's HiQnet Audio Architect software. This allows the CDi DriveCore to be controlled, configured, and monitored through a standard TCP/IQ network. The amplifier also includes a GPIO/AUX Port for preset recall, channel muting, fault monitoring, and power control.

In summary, the CDi DriveCore Series 2-Channel 600W Professional Power Amplifier is a powerful, durable, and advanced solution for professional audio systems. It's designed to deliver high-quality sound reproduction, with features such as built-in DAC and DSP, network audio, and a high power output of 600 watts per channel into 8 ohms.
