Crown Audio DCi 8X300 DriveCore Install Analog Series 8-Channel 8x300W Power Amplifier

How the DCi 8X300 DriveCore Install Analog Series 8-Channel 8x300W Power Amplifier revolutionizes the audio experience is truly remarkable. This high-performance installation amplifier, part of the new DriveCore Install series, leverages proprietary DriveCore technology to deliver powerful, high-quality sound.

Engineered, designed, and manufactured to meet the highest industry standards, this durable and reliable amplifier provides system integrators with the advanced features and flexibility needed for the most demanding 21st-century sound installations. Compact, versatile, and highly energy-efficient, the DCi Series amplifiers uphold Crown's long-standing tradition of leadership in professional and commercial power amplifier technology.

This amplifier offers true rack density power points of 300W or 600W in 2-, 4-, and 8-channel configurations, all housed in a 2 Rack Unit form factor. This design allows for more channels in one box, promoting smaller infrastructure rooms that can reduce operational costs while offering maximum installation flexibility.

The DCi 8X300 DriveCore Install Analog Series 8-Channel 8x300W Power Amplifier also features a Direct Drive Constant Voltage system, which allows for the use of smaller gauge wiring to drive speakers using either 70Vrms or 100Vrms. This eliminates the need for a step-up transformer at the output, producing higher audio quality more efficiently.

The amplifier also boasts a Channel Independent Hi-Z/Low-Z Selection feature, which allows for driving either one or two speakers in low-Z mode, or hundreds of speakers in high-Z mode (70Vrms or 100Vrms). This offers superior design flexibility, as the DCi powers all loads on a channel-by-channel basis.

Unlike amps from other manufacturers, the DCi Series channels are bridgeable even in 100Vrms mode, providing even more adaptability for higher power applications such as subwoofers.

The amplifier also includes a Remote On/Off Interface for power-saving integration into a control system. Its efficient cooling design incorporates internal cooling fans that provide airflow to the most heat-generating parts, maximizing cooling while minimizing wasted energy and noise.

Finally, the DCi 8X300 DriveCore Install Analog Series 8-Channel 8x300W Power Amplifier features an Advanced Power Factor Correction (PFC) Universal Power Supply, the most advanced power supply in an installation amplifier. This delivers power more efficiently in almost any condition, resulting in less power dissipated and less heat in your racks.

In conclusion, the DCi 8X300 DriveCore Install Analog Series 8-Channel 8x300W Power Amplifier is a powerful, high-quality, durable, efficient, and reliable choice for any audio system installation.
