The Crown CDi DriveCore 4|600BL is a 4-channel commercial amplifier that combines high-performance audio, advanced DSP features, and cost-effective design. Derived from Crown’s flagship DriveCore Install series, the 4|600BL is perfect for medium-sized installations such as cinemas, houses of worship, bars, lounges, and corporate spaces.
This amplifier includes network control and monitoring, a front-panel interface, and high-level DSP, supporting up to 100Vrms speaker loads without a transformer. The BLU link feature allows sending and receiving channels over HARMAN’s digital audio BUS, making multi-unit setups seamless. Additionally, the CDi DriveCore series comes pre-loaded with JBL speaker tunings to streamline installation and optimize performance.
