About Crown Audio DCi 8|600DA

For professional audio installations demanding the highest standards of audio quality and network integration, the Crown DriveCore Install DA Series stands out as a powerful and versatile 8-channel 600W professional power amplifier. This advanced amplifier is engineered to deliver high-quality sound reinforcement with the flexibility to accommodate 70V and 100V speaker loads, as well as 2/4/8/16 Ohm configurations, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of professional audio applications.

Equipped with Crown's proprietary DriveCore technology, the amplifier boasts exceptional efficiency and audio performance, ensuring that your sound is clear, powerful, and true to the original recording. The built-in high-powered DSP with JBL speaker tunings enhances the audio experience further, allowing for precise sound customization and optimization for any environment.

The integrated Dante/AES67 networked audio capability simplifies the installation process by enabling direct transmission of networked audio signals to the amplifier. This feature, combined with support for Dante 4.0 firmware and Dante Domain Manager, ensures seamless integration into modern audio systems that rely on Dante for networked audio transport.

The amplifier's network configuration, monitoring, and control are made effortless with the HiQnet Audio Architect software, which operates over a standard TCP/IP network. This allows for remote access to configure, monitor, and manage all aspects of the DCi-DA Series amplifiers from a centralized location.

The programmable General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) ports offer additional flexibility, enabling custom configurations such as volume controls, preset recalls, or error reporting to third-party control systems. The amplifier's network monitoring and control features, including continuous load monitoring and comprehensive error reporting, ensure reliable performance and quick troubleshooting.

Digital Signal Processing (DSP) is at the heart of the amplifier's advanced capabilities, with features such as LevelMAX Limiters for inputs and outputs with thermal limiting, input compressors, input and output delay, EQ, signal generators, crossovers, and 48kHz processing. With 20 presets and an input router, the DSP allows for extensive audio manipulation to achieve the perfect sound for any venue.

The amplifier also includes redundant, independent Dante/AES67 ports for added reliability, capable of accepting 48kHz or 96kHz signals and sending out Dante/AES67 audio from analog inputs pre/post-processing at 48kHz. High, medium, and low priority inputs, along with comprehensive load monitoring features like pilot tone monitoring and channel auto-standby, ensure that the amplifier operates efficiently and effectively.

In summary, the Crown DriveCore Install DA Series 8-Channel 600W Professional Power Amplifier is a robust, high-quality solution for professional audio systems requiring advanced network integration and superior sound performance. Its durable construction, combined with cutting-edge technology, makes it a top choice for audio professionals seeking a reliable and powerful amplifier for their installations.
