The Crown DCi 2|1250 is a high-performance installation amplifier built on Crown’s proprietary DriveCore technology, delivering versatile, energy-efficient, and reliable power for demanding commercial audio installations. Designed for challenging 21st-century environments, the DCi 2|1250 provides maximum flexibility, advanced features, and high audio quality, making it ideal for professional integrators and fixed-install sound systems.
With a compact 2U rack form factor, the DCi 2|1250 provides 1250W per channel with 2-, 4-, or 8-channel configurations, maximizing rack density while reducing infrastructure and operational costs. Each channel supports independent high-impedance (Hi-Z) or low-impedance (Lo-Z) operation, allowing you to drive single speakers, multiple speakers, or hundreds of high-Z distributed speakers.
The DCi 2|1250 also features bridgeable channel pairs, even in 100V mode, for higher power applications like subwoofers or large speaker clusters. Its Direct Drive Constant Voltage design eliminates step-up transformers at the output, improving efficiency, sound quality, and installation simplicity.
Other professional features include a remote on/off interface, advanced power factor correction (PFC) universal power supply, and a highly efficient cooling design that ensures maximum performance with minimal energy waste and low fan noise.
