Crown 8-Channel 600W 2-RU Power Amplifier with BLU Link
The 2-RU Crown DCi 8|600N DriveCore™ Install Network Series amplifier provides eight channels of 600 watt (@ 4 Ohms) superior quality audio power amplification for critical sound monitoring applications. The DCi Series amps leverage Crown's proprietary and patented DriveCore™ technology, which seamlessly integrates the amplifier drive stage into the power output stage, merging everything into a dime-sized, powerful chip. This approach reduces design complexity versus traditional amplifiers, creates greater amplifier efficiency, accuracy, long-term reliability and unsurpassed performance.
Analog & Digital Inputs - The DCi 8|600N accepts analog or digital inputs. Analog inputs are made through balanced connections, with digital audio transport via Harman's proprietary BLU-Link technology, giving you the utmost in input flexibility. BLU-Link allows for local distribution of audio originating in AVB, CobraNet or Dante without adding those technologies in each individual amplifier. Further, the amplifier's priority input router lets you specify a primary input. In the event of the loss of the primary audio input, the amp automatically switches to the other input.
Network Monitoring & Control - Remotely monitor, control and manipulate audio through TCP/IP-based HiQnet™ protocol. From one location, you can monitor the performance of all your DCi-networked amps and control them as needed. This also allows the DCi amplifiers to work with the "Powered by Crown" app and Audio Architect software.
