CROWN DCi 2|300N - Dual Channel Power Amplifier, 300W @ 4Ω with Blu Link, 70V/1A

CROWN DCi 2|300N – Two-channel power amplifier, 300 W @ 4 Ω with BLU-Link™ and 70 V/100 V (EN 54-16)

The CROWN DCi 2|300N is a 2U rackmount amplifier that combines the efficiency of DriveCore technology with BLU-Link™ digital connectivity and EN 54-16 safety certification for voice evacuation systems. Each channel delivers 300W continuous into 4Ω and directly supports 2Ω, 8Ω, 16Ω, 70V, and 100V loads without external transformers. Its internal DSP enables input/output equalization, crossovers, delays, LevelMAX™ limiters, and line monitoring, while the priority input router ensures automatic switchover upon signal loss. With remote monitoring and control via HiQnet™ over TCP/IP, programmable GPIO ports, and a compact 8.53kg design, the DCi 2|300N ensures performance, flexibility, and reliability in commercial, corporate, and hospitality installations.
