CROWN DCi 2|1250N - Two-channel power amplifier, 1250W @ 4Ω with Blu Link, 70V/100V

CROWN DCi 2|1250N – Dual-channel power amplifier, 1,250 W @ 4 Ω with BLU-Link™ and 70 V/100 V

The CROWN DCi 2|1250N is a professional installation amplifier based on patented DriveCore™ technology, delivering two 1,250W per channel into 4Ω and the same power output in 70Vrms and 100Vrms constant voltage modes without the need for external transformers. It features the BLU-Link™ digital audio bus for carrying up to 256 channels with ultra-low latency over Cat5e cable, balanced analog inputs with priority router for automatic switching between sources, and remote control and monitoring via HiQnet™ over TCP/IP. Its universal power supply with active power factor correction (PFC) and variable speed forced cooling ensure energy efficiency and quiet operation even in demanding environments.

Product benefits

• High rack density: Two high-power channels in just 2 U, optimizing space and infrastructure.
• Signal continuity: Automatic switching between analog and digital inputs to avoid interruptions.
• Digital Integration: BLU-Link™ and HiQnet™ simplify scalable audio networks and their centralized management.
• Energy efficiency: DriveCore™ and active PFC reduce consumption and heat, extending the lifespan.
• Quiet Operation: Variable speed ventilation keeps noise low even at full load.

Use cases

• Public address and background music systems in hotels, shops, and airports.
• Corporate AV installations and conference centers with zoning and remote management.
• Sound projects in theaters, auditoriums, and multipurpose spaces that require networked digital audio.

Frequently Asked Questions

• How does BLU-Link™ work? It transports up to 256 channels of audio and DSP data with minimal latency over Cat5e cable.
• What happens if the primary source fails? The priority router instantly switches to the second input without audible interruption.
• Do you need transformers for 70V/100V? No; it delivers constant voltage natively on each channel.
