Crown DCi 8 300 DriveCore Install: The Ultimate 8-Channel 300 Watt Amplifier
The DriveCore Install series amplifiers are a game-changer! They're high-performance installation amps based on DriveCore tech. Designed to the highest quality standards, they give system integrators what they need for 21st century sound applications. They're versatile, compact, and energy-efficient, continuing Crown's leadership in power amp tech.
Features:
- • True rack density – Get 300W or 600W power points in 2-, 4-, or 8-channel setups within a 2 Rack Unit size. More channels mean smaller rooms, lower costs, and more installation flexibility.
- • Direct drive constant voltage – Save money with smaller wiring for 70V RMS or 100V RMS speakers. No need for a step-up transformer for better audio quality and efficiency.
- • Channel independent hi-Z/low-Z selection – Drive one or two speakers in low-Z or hundreds in high-Z (70V RMS or 100V RMS) with channel-by-channel load management.
- • Bridgeable channel pairs – Even in 100V RMS mode, the DCi series channels can be bridged for high-power apps like subwoofers.
- • Remote on/off interface – Integrate the amp into a control system for easy power management. Turn it on and off remotely to save energy.
- • Efficient cooling design – Internal fans provide targeted airflow to heat-generating parts, maximizing cooling and minimizing energy waste and noise.
- • Advanced power factor correction (PFC) universal power supply – A high-efficiency supply works in different conditions, reducing power dissipation and heat in racks.
