Crown CDi DriveCore 2-Channel 300W Amplifier

The Crown CDi DriveCore Series is a professional power amplifier built for small to medium installations such as restaurants and retail stores. It delivers two channels of amplification with integrated network control and monitoring capabilities. A front-panel colour LCD provides direct access to configuration and status.

300W per channel into 100Vrms loads

Each channel supplies 300W and can drive speaker lines up to 100Vrms without requiring an external transformer. This direct-drive capability simplifies distributed audio system design and reduces rack space. The amplifier suits venues needing high-voltage speaker distribution from a compact unit.

DriveCore integration with DSP and GPIO

Crown's DriveCore technology combines hundreds of discrete circuits into a single chip, lowering power consumption and improving reliability. Onboard DSP includes EQ filters, crossovers, delay and LevelMAX limiters with support for importing FIR filter coefficients. Programmable GPIO and 20 device presets (1 factory, 19 user) enable tailored system behaviour. HiQnet Audio Architect software provides configuration and TCP/IP monitoring.

Questions about this item

What does the 300 W rating mean when the amplifier is driving real speakers?

Each of the two channels delivers up to 300 W into typical speaker loads, and the unit can also drive 100 Vrms lines directly without a separate transformer.

How does the TCP/IP network port limit what I can control or monitor?

The Ethernet connection lets you configure DSP, load any of the 20 presets, and monitor status through HiQnet Audio Architect from anywhere on the same network.

What physical space and connections are needed to install this amplifier?

It fits a standard 19-inch rack, uses analog inputs on the rear panel, and includes a programmable GPIO port for external trigger or status wiring.
