The DriveCore technology in the Crown DriveCore Install DA Series amplifier is designed to ensure efficient operation and exceptional audio quality. It's a proprietary technology that combines the amplifier drive stage into the power output stage, reducing the electrical consumption and enhancing the audio output.
The HiQnet Audio Architect software allows for remote configuration, monitoring, and control of all aspects of the DCi-DA Series amplifiers over standard TCP/IP networks. This means you can manage your amplifier settings and monitor its performance from a distance, making it easier to integrate into larger audio systems.
Dante/AES67 networked audio refers to a standard for audio over IP and Ethernet networks. It simplifies the installation process by allowing audio signals to be sent directly to the amplifier over the network. This eliminates the need for traditional analog or digital cabling, making setup easier and more flexible. Additionally, the amplifier's compatibility with Dante Domain Manager allows for seamless integration in installations that have standardized on Dante for networked audio transport.
The programmable General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) ports on the Crown DriveCore Install DA Series amplifier can be configured in various ways to suit your audio setup needs. They can be used for functions such as volume controls, recall presets, or to report errors to a third-party control system, providing additional flexibility and control over your audio system.
The Crown DriveCore Install DA Series amplifier is designed to handle a wide range of speaker loads. It can manage 70V and 100V speaker loads, as well as 2/4/8/16 Ohm configurations, making it a versatile choice for various professional audio installations.
