About Crown Audio DCI 8X300

Make your audio installations more powerful and efficient with the DCi 8X300N DriveCore Install Network Series 8-Channel 8x300W Power Amplifier with BLU Link. This high-quality amplifier is built on the proprietary DriveCore technology, setting a new standard in the industry for performance and quality.

Designed and manufactured to meet the highest industry standards, this advanced amplifier provides system integrators with the flexibility and features needed to tackle the most challenging audio installations of the 21st century. Its compact design and energy efficiency continue Crown's tradition of leadership in professional and commercial power amplifier technology.

The DCi 8X300N DriveCore Amplifier boasts both analog and digital inputs, offering a significant audio advantage at a competitive cost. With digital audio transport via HARMAN's proprietary BLU-Link and balanced analog inputs, you have a wide range of connectivity options. The amplifier's priority input router allows you to designate a primary input, and in case of audio loss, the amplifier automatically switches to the alternate input.

For superior monitoring and control, the DCi 8X300N DriveCore Amplifier utilizes the HiQnet protocol over standard TCP/IP. This allows for remote monitoring and control of all networked DCi amplifiers, enhancing your ability to manage your audio setup. This feature also enables the Audio Architect software and the Powered by Crown app to work seamlessly with DCi amplifiers.

The amplifier's programmable General Purpose Input/Output Ports (GPIO) offer a multitude of configurations, such as volume controls, recall presets, or error reporting to a master computer. Moreover, the built-in Digital Signal Processing (DSP) capabilities include LevelMAX Limiters, Input/Output EQ, Delay, Matrix Mixer, and Speaker Line Monitoring, providing easy audio processing and equalization.

With a class 2 wiring rating for 70V and 100V, the DCi 8X300N DriveCore Amplifier is suitable for larger installations with higher voltage requirements. This durable and efficient power amplifier is designed to amplify audio signals with a power range of 300-399 watts per channel, making it an ideal choice for robust audio systems.
