Crown DCi2x300N 2x300W Power Amplifier

Crown DCi2x300N 2-Channel Power Amplifier Overview
The Crown DCi2x300N is a high-performance 2-channel amplifier that offers 300W per channel, perfect for smaller to mid-sized sound installations. Designed with versatility and efficiency in mind, it is capable of driving speakers at low (2-16 ohms) or high (70V/100V) impedance, making it suitable for both professional and commercial applications. Whether you're powering a sound system for a conference room or a small performance venue, the DCi2x300N provides powerful, clear audio without compromise. It’s packed with advanced features, including network monitoring, digital signal processing (DSP), and efficient cooling, ensuring reliable performance for any installation.

Compact Power with Versatility
Delivering 300W per channel, the DCi2x300N is ideal for amplifying low-impedance speakers or setting up constant voltage systems for large installations. It can handle a wide range of load impedance options (2, 4, 8, or 16 ohms) and also supports 70V and 100V outputs for high-impedance configurations. The amplifier’s flexibility extends further with bridgeable channel pairs, which allows you to combine the channels for more power, ideal for driving subwoofers or other high-demand audio equipment. Whether used in a small office, theater, or retail environment, the DCi2x300N delivers consistent and reliable audio power.

Advanced Digital Signal Processing for Precise Audio Control
The Crown DCi2x300N incorporates advanced DSP features that allow you to fine-tune the sound output with precision. Built-in tools include LevelMAX limiters, input/output equalization, delay settings, and matrix mixing, ensuring the audio is optimized for the acoustics of the space. These features allow for better control of dynamic range, avoiding distortion and providing crystal-clear sound at any volume. For larger installations, the DSP capabilities are a critical asset in managing complex speaker setups, offering real-time adjustments to ensure high-quality audio in any environment.

Network Monitoring and Remote Control Flexibility
With network monitoring capabilities using the HiQnet protocol over standard TCP/IP, the DCi2x300N is built to integrate seamlessly into large-scale audio systems. It allows for remote monitoring, management, and adjustment of audio performance across multiple amplifiers within the same network. Using Audio Architect software or the Powered by Crown app, system integrators can remotely access, control, and adjust settings for the DCi2x300N, which is especially useful for installations in venues that require constant monitoring and adjustment. This functionality ensures that all components of the audio system work harmoniously together.

Efficient Power Management and Cooling
In addition to offering remarkable power, the DCi2x300N also prioritizes energy efficiency. With built-in intelligent cooling fans and an auto standby feature, the amplifier minimizes power consumption when not in use. After 30 minutes of inactivity, the unit automatically enters sleep mode, reducing energy waste and ensuring it operates within safe thermal limits. The efficient design helps keep the amplifier running at optimal temperatures, prolonging its lifespan and reducing the risk of overheating. These features make the DCi2x300N an excellent choice for long-term, sustainable audio installations.

Customizable Output for Various Applications
The Crown DCi2x300N provides selectable output options that ensure it works well in a variety of settings. The channel-independent Hi-Z/Low-Z selection allows you to configure each channel to suit your speaker setup, whether you're using low-impedance speakers in one room or high-impedance speakers in a distributed system. This flexibility ensures that the amplifier is adaptable to a wide range of installations, making it a valuable tool for system integrators working on different projects with varying requirements. Each channel also features independent attenuators, allowing for fine control of output levels from 0 to -80 dB.

Built-In Protection for Safe Operation
The DCi2x300N comes equipped with advanced protection circuits to safeguard both the amplifier and connected equipment. Features like short-circuit, overvoltage, and under-voltage protection help ensure that the amplifier continues to perform safely under challenging conditions. Additionally, the amplifier includes TLC (Thermal Load Compensation) protection, which reduces gain in response to excessive heat, helping to prevent thermal damage. These protective features are crucial for maintaining the longevity and reliability of both the amplifier and the entire audio system.
