The Crown CDi 1000 is a 2-channel professional power amplifier built for installed sound applications that demand reliability, flexibility, and superior audio quality. Lightweight yet rugged, the CDi 1000 delivers clean, uncolored sound with low distortion—making it ideal for houses of worship, theaters, schools, and commercial venues.
Engineered for value and performance, the CDi 1000 features an intuitive front-panel LCD screen for quick system configuration and an onboard DSP processor for loudspeaker management. The DSP includes crossovers, EQ, delay, limiting, compression, and even a subharmonic synthesizer for enhanced low-frequency response.
Its switch-mode universal power supply ensures consistent operation anywhere in the world, while advanced protection circuitry safeguards against shorted outputs, open circuits, DC faults, thermal overload, and mismatched loads. The amplifier supports 2, 4, 8 Ω, as well as 70V and 140V constant-voltage outputs, making it an incredibly versatile choice for any installation.
Built to Crown’s legendary standards and backed by a 3-year no-fault transferable warranty, the Crown CDi 1000 provides professional-grade power, durability, and value.
