Advanced Network Monitoring and Control Features
Designed with system integrators in mind, the DCi4x300N allows for comprehensive network monitoring and control. Thanks to the HiQnet™ protocol, you can remotely monitor the performance of all networked DCi amplifiers over standard TCP/IP connections. The integration of Audio Architect software and the Powered by Crown app makes it easy to manipulate audio settings and monitor real-time system performance from any location. This is especially useful for large installations where multiple amplifiers need to be controlled and configured remotely, saving time and simplifying system management.

Digital Signal Processing for Enhanced Audio Control
The DCi4x300N integrates sophisticated Digital Signal Processing (DSP) capabilities, providing a wide array of tools to fine-tune your sound system. Key DSP features include LevelMAX limiters to protect against distortion, input and output equalization to adjust tonal balance, and delay functions for optimizing audio alignment across different areas of the venue. The built-in crossover and matrix mixer allow for flexible routing of different frequencies to specific speaker zones, ensuring optimal audio performance in any setting. Speaker line monitoring adds an extra layer of protection, allowing you to track the condition of your speakers and prevent damage.

Life Safety Compliance for Critical Applications
For installations that require life safety certifications, the DCi4x300N amplifier is EN 54-16 compliant. This certification ensures that the amplifier meets the strict requirements for voice alarm systems in fire detection and alarm systems. Designed to work as part of a VACIE* system, this amplifier is essential for applications that require emergency voice messages instead of traditional sirens, making it perfect for hospitality venues, large theaters, and other commercial spaces where safety is a priority. With this certification, you can be confident that your audio system is up to the task of serving both entertainment and emergency communication needs.

Energy-Efficient Design for Cost-Effective Operation
Efficiency is a key focus of the DCi4x300N, as it utilizes advanced energy-saving technologies to reduce power consumption without compromising on performance. The amplifier's DriveCore technology, combined with a highly efficient power supply, ensures that it operates with minimal heat generation and reduced electrical costs. This makes it a perfect choice for venues looking to minimize energy usage while still delivering powerful, high-quality sound. The compact 2U design further enhances the efficiency of this unit, allowing it to fit into tight spaces while delivering robust performance.

Flexible Installation Options and Compatibility
The Crown DCi4x300N is designed for easy integration into a variety of audio setups. It supports 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 tailor the system to the specific needs of your venue, whether you're powering a high-impedance speaker array or distributing sound across a large venue with multiple speaker zones. Additionally, the amplifier's bridgeable channels offer the ability to combine channels for even higher output, perfect for driving subwoofers or powering larger speaker arrays when needed.
