CROWN CDi 2|600 - Analog input amplifier, 2 channels, 600W per output channel

CROWN CDi 2|600 – Analog input amplifier, 2 channels, 600 W per channel

The CROWN CDi 2|600 is a dual-channel installation amplifier delivering 600W continuous per channel into 4Ω and capable of directly driving loads up to 100Vrms without the need for external transformers. Based on DriveCore™ technology, it features an advanced DSP with input router, 8-band parametric EQs, crossover and delays up to 1000ms input and 100ms output, plus the LevelMAX™ limiter suite to protect your loudspeakers. A front-end interface with LCD display and dedicated controls makes commissioning easy, while HiQnet™ over TCP/IP support enables remote monitoring and control of all functions.

Main features

• Two independent 600 W @ 4 Ω channels
• Compatible with 2 Ω, 4 Ω, 8 Ω, and 16 Ω loads; direct output at 70 Vrms or 100 Vrms
• Component reduction using DriveCore™ for >90% efficiency
• Integrated DSP with LevelMAX™ limiters, 8-band parametric EQ I/O, crossover and delays
• Input router that automatically switches if the main signal fails
• Front interface with backlit LCD and navigation buttons
• Remote control and monitoring via HiQnet™ TCP/IP
• Variable speed forced ventilation; maximum noise level 45 dBA @ 1 m
• Universal power supply 100–240 VAC with active PFC

Product benefits

• Efficiency and reliability: DriveCore™ and active PFC minimize consumption and heat generation.
• Quick Setup: JBL and DSP presets accessible from the panel or HiQnet™ speed up setup.
• Installation versatility: supports low impedance and constant high impedance without transformers.
• Centralized control: status monitoring and remote adjustments for amplifier networks.
• Intelligent protection: Limiters and input router ensure speaker safety.

Use cases

• Background music and paging systems in restaurants, stores, and corporate spaces.
• Public address and voice evacuation systems in auditoriums, hotels, and hospitals.
• Audiovisual installations in medium-sized conference rooms and convention centers.

Frequently Asked Questions

• How do you select 70V/100V? Using the DSP menu or the DIP switches on the rear panel, without additional transformers.
• Can it be bridged? Yes; configurable in the DSP to operate in mono bridge mode and deliver up to 1200 W into 8 Ω.
• What is the fan noise level? Maximum 45 dBA at 1 m thanks to variable-speed ventilation.
