CROWN DCi 4|1250DA - Four-channel power amplifier, 1250W @ 4Ω with Dante™ / AES67 network audio, and compatibility

CROWN DCi 4|1250DA – Four-channel power amplifier, 1,250 W @ 4 Ω with Dante™/AES67 and 70 V/100 V (EN 54-16)

The CROWN DCi 4|1250DA is a four-channel, independent 1,250W per channel into 4Ω installation amplifier that adds Dante™/AES67 networked audio , transformerless 70Vrms and 100Vrms constant voltage outputs, and EN 54-16 certification for voice evacuation systems. Based on DriveCore® technology, it delivers over 90% efficiency, integrates high-power DSP with pre-loaded JBL tuning, and offers variable speed forced cooling and active PFC supply for maximum reliability.

Main features

• Power per channel (all channels): 1,250 W @ 4 Ω; 1 250 W @ 8 Ω; 625W @ 16Ω; 1 250 W @ 70 Vrms; 1 250W @ 100Vrms
• Mono bridge mode: 2,500 W @ 4 Ω; 2,000 W @ 8 Ω; 2,000 W @ 140 Vrms
• Integrated Dante™/AES67: Redundant primary and secondary ports, 48 ​​kHz/96 kHz
• Advanced DSP: 20 user presets, input router, delay up to 2 s, parametric I/O EQ, crossover, output delay up to 100 ms, LevelMAX™ limiters, monitoring and load test
• Network control and monitoring: HiQnet™ over TCP/IP and Dante Domain Manager support
• Programmable GPIO ports: rest contact, amplifier status, preset trigger
• EN 54-16 compliant: Part 16 for voice alarms in life safety systems
• Cooling: Variable front-to-back forced ventilation; removable air filters
• Power supply: universal 100–240 VAC, 50/60 Hz with active PFC
• Rack format: 2 U (483 × 89 × 356 mm); weight 13.6kg

Product benefits

• Simplified network integration: Dante/AES67 enables digital audio and control over standard Ethernet.
• Certified safety: EN 54-16 compliance for voice evacuation systems in critical environments.
• High energy efficiency: DriveCore® and PFC reduce consumption and heat dissipation.
• Quick setup: DSP with JBL presets speeds up startup.
• Monitoring and redundancy: Primary/secondary Dante ports and HiQnet™ ensure continuity.

Use cases

• Public address and voice evacuation systems in airports, hospitals, and hotels.
• Corporate and commercial facilities with centralized networked audio.
• Convention centers, auditoriums, and multipurpose rooms that require high channel density.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can I use it without Dante? Yes, it has analog inputs and preloaded DSP presets.
• What happens if the Dante network fails? Automatic switching to the secondary input and the priority analog source.
• How do you select 70V/100V? No transformers required: using DIP switches on each channel.
