About Crown Audio CDi 4|600BL

While the CDi DriveCore Series represents a significant advancement in audio amplification technology, the 4-Channel 600W Professional Power Amplifier stands out with its blend of high-performance capabilities, comprehensive features, and cost-effectiveness. Drawing on technology from Crown Audio's flagship Installed Sound amplifier, the DriveCore Install series, this professional power amplifier is designed to deliver superior sound quality in medium-sized installations, including cinemas, houses of worship, bars, and lounges.

The 4|600BL model is a 4-channel amplifier equipped with network control and monitoring, high-level Digital Signal Processing (DSP), and a user-friendly front-panel interface. It can drive up to 100Vrms speaker loads without the need for a transformer, making it a versatile choice for various audio setups.

One of the standout features of this amplifier is the inclusion of BLU link, which enables the transmission and reception of channels over HARMAN's digital audio BUS. This feature, coupled with the pre-loaded JBL speaker tunings, simplifies and accelerates the installation process.

The CDi DriveCore series is powered by Crown's proprietary DriveCore technology, which significantly reduces the number of components in each amplifier. This not only enhances reliability but also improves audio fidelity through an efficient design.

Through Harman's HiQnet Audio Architect software, users can control, configure, and monitor the CDi DriveCore via a standard TCP/IQ network. The onboard DSP 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 LevelMAX Limiter.

Each output channel is capable of providing either 70V or 100V for high impedance applications, and the amplifier can be fully configured via an intuitive front-panel interface. The combined GPIO/AUX Port allows for preset recall, channel muting, fault monitoring, power on/off, and more. With pre-loaded speaker tunings for quicker setup and installation, the CDi DriveCore Series 4-Channel 600W Professional Power Amplifier is a high-quality, powerful, and advanced solution for professional audio needs.
