It's designed to deliver powerful, high-fidelity audio, making it an ideal choice for large-scale installations such as cinemas, houses of worship, hotels, and cruise lines.

The CDi DriveCore 4|1200 is not just a powerful amplifier, but also a versatile one. It boasts a 4-channel configuration, each capable of delivering up to 1200 watts, and can handle speaker loads of up to 100Vrms without the need for a transformer. This makes it a durable and reliable choice for high-demand audio environments.

Ease-of-use is at the heart of the CDi DriveCore design. It features network control and monitoring capabilities through Harman's HiQnet Audio Architect software, allowing for seamless control, configuration, and monitoring over a standard TCP/IQ network. This network-only control system makes it a convenient choice for professionals who prefer digital control over traditional control panels.

The built-in Digital Signal Processor (DSP) in this professional power amplifier allows for custom configuration and includes a range of integrated features such as an input router, input delay of up to 1000ms, an 8-band input parametric EQ, crossover, an 8-band output parametric EQ, output delay of up to 100ms, and a LevelMAX Limiter.

The front-panel interface is intuitively designed for easy configuration of the amplifier. Additionally, the combined GPIO/AUX Port allows for preset recall, channel muting, fault monitoring, and power control. To make installations quicker and easier, the 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 component value variability, and increasing reliability.
