The Crown DCi 2|300 is a high-performance installation amplifier featuring proprietary DriveCore technology, designed for versatile, energy-efficient, and reliable audio amplification in commercial and professional installations. Engineered to meet the highest quality standards, the DCi 2|300 provides system integrators with advanced features and flexible configurations for modern installed sound environments.
In a compact 2U rack form factor, the DCi 2|300 delivers 300W per channel and supports 2-, 4-, or 8-channel configurations, maximizing rack density and reducing infrastructure requirements. Each channel operates independently in high-impedance (Hi-Z) or low-impedance (Lo-Z) mode, allowing for a single speaker, multiple speakers, or hundreds of distributed high-Z speakers.
The amplifier also features bridgeable channel pairs, even in 100V mode, providing additional power for subwoofers and high-demand applications. Its Direct Drive Constant Voltage design eliminates step-up transformers, delivering higher audio fidelity and simplified installation.
Other professional features include a remote on/off interface, efficient cooling design, and advanced Power Factor Correction (PFC) universal power supply for maximum efficiency and reduced heat generation.
