CROWN DCi 4|600N - Four-channel power amplifier delivering 600W @ 4Ω with Blu Link, 70V/100V

CROWN DCi 4|600N – Four-channel power amplifier, 600 W @ 4 Ω with BLU-Link™ and 70 V/100 V

The CROWN DCi 4|600N is a 2U installation amplifier delivering 600W per channel into 4Ω and the same power at 70Vrms and 100Vrms constant voltage outputs without the need for external transformers. It features patented DriveCore™ technology for efficiencies over 90% and variable speed cooling for minimal operating noise. It also features the BLU-Link™ digital audio bus for carrying up to 256 channels of audio and DSP control over Cat5e cable, enabling network monitoring, preset recall, and automatic switching to a secondary input if the primary input fails.

Main features

• Four independent channels: 600 W @ 4 Ω; 300W @ 2Ω; 600W @ 8Ω; 600W@70V; 600W @ 100V
• Mono bridge mode: 1200 W @ 8 Ω; 1200 W @ 16 Ω; 1200W @ 140V; 1 200W @ 200V
• Frequency response: ± 0.25 dB (20 Hz–20 kHz)
• THD: 0.35% at full power (20 Hz–20 kHz)
• Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR): > 104 dB (A-weighted) on BLU-Link™ input
• Damping factor: > 1000 (20 Hz–100 Hz)
• Integrated DSP: LevelMAX™ limiters, parametric I/O EQs, crossover, delay, and matrix mixer
• Inputs: 4 × balanced Euroblock; 2 RJ45 for BLU-Link™
• Outputs: 2 × Speakon NL4 and screw block for 70 V/100 V
• Cooling: Variable front-to-back forced ventilation; 45 dBA @ 1 m
• Power supply: 100–240 VAC, 50/60 Hz with active PFC; IEC 15 A connector

Product benefits

• High energy efficiency: DriveCore™ and active PFC reduce consumption and dissipated heat.
• Flexible installation: optimized rack density and bridgeable subwoofer outputs.
• Centralized control: BLU-Link™ and HiQnet™ allow remote monitoring and management.
• Comprehensive protection: LevelMAX™ limiters and automatic input switching ensure reliability.
• Load versatility: operates at low impedance and constant voltage without transformers.

Use cases

• Audio distribution in auditoriums, conference rooms, and convention centers.
• Public address and voice evacuation systems in hotels, airports, and hospitals.
• Commercial and corporate installations with multiple zones and audio presets.

Frequently Asked Questions

• How do you select bridge mode? Via rear DIP switches, bridging channel pairs for 1,200 W @ 8 Ω.
• What is the latency of BLU-Link™? Less than 1 ms, ideal for synchronization in large installations.
• Can I use 70V/100V loads? Yes; each channel selects high impedance without a transformer.
