CROWN CDi 4|1200 - Analog input amplifier, 4 channels, 1200W per output channel

CROWN CDi 4|1200 – Analog input amplifier, 4 channels, 1200 W per channel

The CROWN CDi 4|1200 is a four-channel installation amplifier delivering 1200W continuous per channel into 4Ω and capable of driving loads up to 100Vrms without the need for external transformers. Based on DriveCore™ technology derived from the high-end Crown DriveCore Install series, it combines over 90% efficiency with a powerful onboard DSP, TCP/IP network control and monitoring, and pre-loaded JBL tuning presets to speed up setup in large installations such as cinemas, houses of worship, hotels, or cruise ships.

Main features

• Power Rating: 1200 W per channel @ 4 Ω; 2400 W in mono bridge mode @ 4 Ω
• Supported impedances: 2 Ω, 4 Ω, 8 Ω, 16 Ω; 70Vrms; 100 Vrms
• Integrated DSP: input router; input delay up to 1000 ms; 8-band parametric EQ (I/O); crossover; output delay up to 100 ms; LevelMAX™ limiters
• Control and monitoring: HiQnet™ over TCP/IP; front-end interface with graphic LCD display and navigation buttons
• JBL Presets: Pre-loaded speaker tunings for quick setup
• Power supply: universal 100–240 VAC with active PFC; IEC 20 A connector
• Cooling: Variable-speed forced ventilation, front-to-back flow; heat dissipation up to 1865 BTU/h
• Dimensions and weight: 19 x 3.5 x 14.7 in (483 x 89 x 374 mm); 20.1 lb (9.12 kg)
• Chassis: 2U rack, 1.3" extra deep front

Product benefits

• High power density: four 1200W channels in just 2U of rack space.
• Agile installation: JBL and DSP presets accessible from the panel or network reduce setup times.
• Load versatility: operates in low impedance or high impedance (70 V/100 V) without external transformers.
• Centralized control: remote monitoring and adjustment via HiQnet™ for multiple units.
• Energy efficiency: DriveCore™ and active PFC minimize consumption and dissipated heat.

Use cases

• Sound reinforcement for movie theaters, theaters, and auditoriums where high levels of power and quality are required.
• Audio distribution in large worship spaces, hotels, and convention centers.
• Installations on cruise lines and theme parks with multiple zones and network control.

Frequently Asked Questions

• How do I configure 70V or 100V? No transformers required: just select high-impedance mode on the rear DSP or DIP switch.
• How do I adjust the DSP? From the front panel LCD or with HiQnet™ Audio Architect over TCP/IP.
• Can it be operated in bridge mode? Yes; in mono bridge mode it delivers 2400 W @ 4 Ω.
