About Crown Audio MA4-D
With the MA4 DSi 2.0 Series Next-Generation Amplifier, JBL introduces a powerful and advanced solution for cinema audio amplification. This sophisticated amplifier is a part of JBL's first dedicated cinema amplifier line, leveraging Crown DSI Digital Screen Array technology. It integrates the high-quality DSP from Crown's flagship CDi DriveCore series, offering potent and cost-effective amplification for JBL's comprehensive range of cinema loudspeakers.
Available in three power configurations, this innovative amplifier comes in both analog and analog-plus-digital "D" versions, featuring Dante/AES67 connectivity for enhanced audio distribution. The MA4 DSi 2.0 Series Amplifier is designed to streamline your hardware needs and expedite system deployment. It perfectly meets the power requirements of JBL cinema speakers, providing a unified JBL cinema solution.
The D-models of this series can directly interface with Dolby Atmos, eliminating the need for additional processing hardware. The amplifier also comes with JBL Cinema Speaker presets that simplify configuration, optimize playback audio, and safeguard against equipment damage.
The MA4 DSi 2.0 Series Amplifier stands out with its SNMP connectivity, enabling networked audio distribution and immersive installations. It also facilitates direct interfacing with third-party theater-management and cinema-control systems. Each model provides 4 channels of amplification with bridgeable outputs in a compact 2RU footprint. It can power up to four JBL surround speakers with a single amp channel in high-power-density 2 Ohm mode.
Incorporating best-in-class, 32-bit/96kHz floating-point DSP and Crown DriveCore technology, the MA4 DSi 2.0 Series Amplifier replaces hundreds of internal components with a single processing chip. This results in superior power density, stability, and audio fidelity. For cinema managers and integrators seeking to maximize their power investment and future-proof their systems, the MA4 DSi 2.0 Series Amplifier offers robust, reliable amplification in an efficient, cost-effective package.
