About Crown Audio CDI 2X300

Bring your audio experience to a new level with the CDi 2X300 DriveCore Series 2-Channel 2x300W Power Amplifier with Analog Input. This advanced, high-quality amplifier is a testament to the evolution of sound amplification technology, offering a powerful performance, a rich feature set, and an efficient design.

Derived from Crown Audio's flagship Installed Sound amplifier, the DriveCore Install series, this 2-channel amplifier is designed to deliver superior sound quality in small to medium-sized installations, such as restaurants and retail stores. Its streamlined functionality and ease-of-use make it a go-to choice for professionals and audio enthusiasts alike.

The CDi DriveCore 2|300 stands out with its network control and monitoring capabilities. Through HARMAN's HiQnet Audio Architect software, you can control, configure, and monitor this durable amplifier through a standard TCP/IQ network. This feature ensures you have complete control over your audio output at all times.

Equipped with a high-level Digital Signal Processor (DSP), this amplifier allows for custom configuration and includes integrated features such as an Input Router, Input Delay of up to 1000ms, an 8-band Input Parametric EQ, a Crossover, an 8-band Output Parametric EQ, an Output Delay of up to 100ms, and a LevelMAX Limiter.

The CDi DriveCore 2|300 is capable of driving up to 100Vrms speaker loads without requiring a transformer, thanks to its Direct Drive 70/100Vrms Output. Each output channel can provide either 70V or 100V for high impedance applications, making it a versatile choice for various audio setups.

The amplifier's front-panel interface allows for easy configuration, while the combined GPIO/AUX Port enables you to recall presets, mute channels, monitor faults, power on/off the amplifier, and more. To make installations quicker and easier, the entire CDi DriveCore line comes pre-loaded with JBL speaker tunings.

Experience the power of Crown's proprietary DriveCore technology, which eliminates hundreds of components within each amplifier, reducing the variability of component values, increasing reliability, and delivering incredible audio fidelity. Choose the CDi 2X300 DriveCore Series 2-Channel 2x300W Power Amplifier with Analog Input for a powerful, high-quality, and efficient audio amplification solution.
