About Crown Audio DCI 2X1250

A pinnacle of audio amplification, the DCi 2X1250 DriveCore Install Analog Series 2-Channel 2x1250W Power Amplifier embodies the fusion of powerful performance and innovative technology. Crafted with the proprietary DriveCore technology, this amplifier sets the standard for high-performance sound reinforcement in professional installations.

Engineered to perfection, the DCi Series amplifiers are a testament to the industry's highest quality standards. System integrators will find the advanced features and flexibility indispensable for the demanding audio environments of the 21st century. Whether it's for large-scale outdoor events or expansive indoor venues, this amplifier delivers reliable and high-quality sound reproduction that professionals demand.

Compact and energy-efficient, the DCi Series amplifiers are a continuation of Crown's unbroken tradition of leadership in professional and commercial power amplifier technology. Occupying just 2 Rack Units, the True Rack Density Power design offers configurations of 300W or 600W across 2, 4, or 8 channels, allowing for a reduced infrastructure footprint and operational cost savings without compromising on installation flexibility.

The Direct Drive Constant Voltage system is a game-changer, enabling the use of lighter gauge wiring for speaker drives at either 70Vrms or 100Vrms. This innovation not only saves money but also eliminates the need for a step-up transformer at the output, resulting in more efficient and higher audio quality delivery.

Flexibility is further enhanced with Channel Independent Hi-Z/Low-Z Selection, allowing the powering of either one or two low-impedance speakers, or hundreds of high-impedance speakers per channel. This unparalleled design flexibility ensures that the DCi can adeptly power all loads on a channel-by-channel basis.

Setting this series apart, the DCi Series channels are uniquely bridgeable-even in 100Vrms mode-offering unmatched adaptability for high-power applications, including subwoofers. The Remote On/Off Interface integrates seamlessly with control systems, providing the convenience of power conservation through easy operational control.

The amplifier's efficient cooling design is a marvel, with internal fans directing airflow to the most heat-generating components. This smart integration of fans within the amplifier brick design maximizes cooling efficiency while minimizing energy waste and operational noise.

Equipped with an Advanced Power Factor Correction (PFC) Universal Power Supply, the DCi Series stands out by delivering power more efficiently under almost any condition compared to competitors. This leads to less power dissipation and reduced heat generation within your racks, ensuring durable and sustained performance.

In summary, the DCi 2X1250 DriveCore Install Analog Series 2-Channel 2x1250W Power Amplifier is a robust, high-quality, and advanced solution for professional audio applications that require powerful, clear, and reliable sound amplification.
