Dante and AES67 Networked Audio for Easy Integration
The DCi4x300D amplifier comes equipped with Dante and AES67 networked audio, simplifying the installation process and enabling integration into large-scale audio networks. These protocols allow you to send digital audio signals directly to the amplifier, eliminating the need for traditional analog cables and reducing the complexity of wiring in large venues. Redundancy is built in, with primary and secondary Dante connections ensuring uninterrupted signal transmission, even if one connection is compromised. Whether you're working with analog or digital audio, the DCi4x300D’s networked capabilities make it a versatile solution for any installation.

Comprehensive Network Configuration, Monitoring, and Control
For system integrators, the DCi4x300D offers extensive network monitoring and control via the HiQnet protocol over a standard TCP/IP network. The HiQnet Audio Architect software enables remote configuration, allowing for real-time adjustments to the amplifier’s settings. This means you can monitor the health of the amplifier, check performance metrics, and make necessary changes without needing to be on-site. Additionally, the amplifier’s continuous load monitoring ensures that your speakers are always receiving the correct amount of power, helping to prevent damage and ensuring long-term reliability.

Advanced Digital Signal Processing for Superior Sound Control
The DCi4x300D includes built-in Digital Signal Processing (DSP) for precise sound management. With LevelMAX limiters, this amplifier can automatically adjust output levels to avoid thermal damage or distortion. The DSP also features input and output equalization, compression, and delay, giving you full control over how sound is distributed across your speakers. The crossover function enables you to route different frequency ranges to specific speakers, optimizing the overall sound system for clarity and power. This makes the DCi4x300D ideal for environments where detailed audio control is essential, such as live sound, theater, or corporate AV installations.

Customizable General Purpose Input/Output Ports for Flexibility
For added versatility, the DCi4x300D includes programmable General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) ports that can be configured for a variety of control functions. These ports can be used for volume control, triggering presets, or for error reporting to a third-party control system. The flexibility of the GPIO ports ensures that the amplifier can integrate seamlessly with your existing control system, providing centralized control for easy operation in complex setups. This is especially beneficial in installations where ease of use and automation are key considerations.

Energy-Efficient Power Supply and Cooling System
Despite its impressive power output, the DCi4x300D is designed with energy efficiency in mind. The amplifier features a highly efficient Power Factor Correction (PFC) universal power supply, ensuring that it delivers maximum power with minimal waste. The efficient cooling system directs airflow precisely where it’s needed, helping to maintain optimal operating temperatures without creating excess noise. This makes the DCi4x300D suitable for both small and large venues, where both energy savings and quiet operation are highly valued.

Flexible Output Options for Various Speaker Configurations
The DCi4x300D is compatible with a wide range of speaker configurations, including 2Ω, 4Ω, 8Ω, and 16Ω speakers, as well as 70V and 100V systems. This flexibility allows you to design your sound system to meet the specific needs of your venue, whether you’re powering high-impedance loudspeakers or large distributed systems. Additionally, the amplifier’s channels are bridgeable, enabling you to combine channels for higher power applications, such as driving subwoofers or large line arrays. This makes the DCi4x300D a powerful and adaptable solution for professional sound installations.
