About Crown Audio CDI 2X1200

With the CDi 2X1200 DriveCore Series 2-Channel 2x1200W Power Amplifier, experience the next level in audio amplification. This high-performance amplifier boasts a rich feature set, offering exceptional value. It utilizes advanced technology inspired by our flagship Crown DriveCore Install series, making the CDi DriveCore 2|1200 an ideal choice for large-scale installations, including cinemas, places of worship, hotels, and cruise lines.

This 2-channel amplifier is designed for user-friendly operation across a range of applications. It includes network control and monitoring capabilities, high-level Digital Signal Processing (DSP), a convenient front-panel interface, and the ability to drive up to 100Vrms speaker loads without the need for a transformer.

The CDi DriveCore series comes pre-loaded with JBL speaker tunings, simplifying and speeding up the installation process. Crown's proprietary DriveCore technology significantly reduces the number of components within each amplifier, enhancing reliability and delivering exceptional audio fidelity from a highly efficient design.

Through HARMAN's HiQnet Audio Architect software, the CDi DriveCore offers comprehensive control, configuration, and monitoring via a standard TCP/IQ network. The onboard DSP in each amplifier 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 of this power amplifier is capable of providing either 70V or 100V for high impedance applications. The intuitive front-panel interface allows for complete configuration of the amplifier. The combined GPIO/AUX Port enables preset recall, channel muting, fault monitoring, power on/off control, and more. With pre-loaded speaker tunings, setup and installation are quicker and easier than ever.
