About Crown Audio DCi 4|1250DA

Because professional audio quality and power are paramount, the DriveCore Install DA Series 4-Channel 1250W Professional Power Amplifier with Dante/AES67 Networked Audio, 70V/100V Speaker Loads is the ideal choice for sound professionals. This advanced, high-quality amplifier is designed for applications requiring Dante or AES67 networked audio, delivering a harmonious blend of output power, channel count, and speaker load adaptability.

Equipped with proprietary DriveCore technology, this amplifier offers exceptional efficiency and superior audio quality. It features a robust DSP with JBL speaker tunings, network control/monitoring, and the capacity to drive 2/4/8/16 Ohms, 70V, and 100V speaker loads. Its compatibility with Dante Domain Manager makes it an excellent choice for installations that rely on Dante for networked audio transport.

The DriveCore Install DA Series amplifier simplifies installation by allowing Dante/AES67 networked audio signals to be sent directly to the amplifier. This feature, combined with the amplifier's universal PFC power supply, continuous load monitoring, removable air filters, and front panel LED indicators, makes it a versatile addition to any professional sound system.

The amplifier's network configuration, monitoring, and control capabilities are enhanced by the HiQnet protocol over a standard TCP/IP network. The HiQnet Audio Architect software enables remote configuration, monitoring, and control of all aspects of the DCi-DA Series amplifiers. The amplifier also includes programmable General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) ports, which can be configured for a variety of functions, such as volume controls, recall presets, or error reporting to a third-party control system.

The DriveCore Install DA Series amplifier also boasts a range of Digital Signal Processing (DSP) features, including LevelMAX Limiters for inputs and outputs with thermal limiting, input compressor, input and output delay, input and output EQ, signal generator, crossover, and 48kHz processing. It also offers 20 presets and an input router.

The amplifier's redundant, independent Dante/AES67 ports accept 48kHz or 96kHz and are capable of sending out Dante/AES67 audio from analog inputs pre/post processing (at 48kHz). It also features high, medium, and low priority inputs, input delay up to 2s, input EQ, crossover, output EQ, output delay up to 100ms, LevelMAX limiter, load monitoring pilot tone, channel auto-standby, speaker tunings, and an Aux-Port.

In essence, the DriveCore Install DA Series 4-Channel 1250W Professional Power Amplifier is a powerful, durable, and advanced solution for professional audio amplification needs.
