CROWN CDi 4|600 - Analog input amplifier, 4 channels, 600W per output channel

CROWN CDi 4|600 – Analog input amplifier, 4 channels, 600 W per channel

The CROWN CDi 4|600 is part of the CDi DriveCore™ Series, offering four channels of 600W per channel into 4Ω from balanced analog inputs, and capable of driving loads up to 100Vrms without an external transformer. It features DriveCore™ technology derived from flagship installation amplifiers, a powerful DSP with pre-loaded JBL speaker presets, network control and monitoring via HiQnet™ TCP/IP, and an intuitive front-end interface for on-site adjustments. Its universal switching power supply with active PFC and 2U rack-mount chassis ensure over 90% energy efficiency and continued reliability in medium-sized applications such as cinemas, houses of worship, bars and lounges.

Main features

• Power: 600 W per channel @ 4 Ω; 300W @ 2Ω; 600W @ 8Ω; 600W @ 70Vrms; 600W @ 100Vrms
• Inputs: 4 × Phoenix balanced for analog signal
• Integrated DSP: input router, input delay (0–1000 ms), crossover, 8-band I/O parametric EQ, output delay (0–100 ms), and LevelMAX™ limiters
• Network and control: HiQnet™ TCP/IP for remote monitoring and management
• JBL Presets: Pre-loaded speaker tunings for quick setup
• Front interface: LCD display and dedicated controls for software-free adjustments
• Universal power supply: 100–240 VAC with active power factor correction (PFC)
• Cooling: Variable speed front-to-back forced ventilation

Product benefits

• Quick setup: JBL presets and front panel simplify commissioning.
• High reliability: DriveCore™ and PFC reduce consumption and increase durability.
• Centralized control: HiQnet™ allows management of multiple units over TCP/IP.
• Flexibility: transformerless for 70/100 V and low impedance load handling.
• Sound Quality: Advanced DSP and protection circuits ensure fidelity and safety.

Use cases

• Sound reinforcement in movie theaters, where multiple zones with precise adjustments are required.
• Audio systems in worship halls and auditoriums with 70V/100V distribution.
• Installations in bars, lounges and restaurants for background music and paging.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Do I need a transformer for 100V? No; it delivers high-voltage output natively.
• How do I access the DSP settings? From the front LCD screen or via HiQnet™ Audio Architect.
• Can it be monitored over a network? Yes; the amplifier offers status and signal monitoring via HiQnet™.
