CROWN Power Amplifier DCI8X600N
✓ In Stock (1 available)
The Crown DCi 8|600N is a professional 8-channel power amplifier engineered for demanding commercial and large-scale audio environments — including cinema installations, multi-zone venues, and touring rigs. Built on Crown's proprietary DriveCore™ technology, it delivers a consistent 600W per channel across 4Ω, 8Ω, 16Ω, and 70V/100V distributed speaker lines — all without requiring external step-up transformers. It fits neatly into a 2U rack space while housing enterprise-grade DSP, full network control, and a BLU Link 256-channel digital audio bus over standard Cat5e cable. The DCi 8|600N eliminates the need for external speaker processors entirely. With onboard parametric EQ, crossovers, time-alignment delays, matrix mixing, and LevelMAX™ peak/RMS/thermal limiting, every channel is independently configurable — so you can drive studio monitors on one channel and a 70V ceiling speaker loop on another at the same time. Remote management via HiQnet™ and HARMAN Audio Architect makes large fleet control straightforward and scalable.

Description
Crown DCi 8|600N — Drive Core Install Network Series 8-Channel Power Amplifier
600W Per Channel (4Ω / 8Ω / 16Ω / 70V / 100V) — consistent, rated power delivery across all standard low-impedance and distributed speaker loads with no step-up transformer required
8 Fully Independent Channels — each channel operates with its own impedance mode, allowing mixed-load deployments across a single unit
Bridged Mono Mode — pair any two channels for up to 1,200W combined output into 8Ω, 16Ω, 140Vrms, or 200Vrms loads
DriveCore™ Technology — a single custom silicon chip replaces hundreds of discrete components, slashing heat output, standby power draw, and long-term maintenance needs
BLU Link Digital Audio Bus — uncompressed, low-latency 256-channel digital network over Cat5e with automatic failover to backup signal path if primary drops
HiQnet™ Network Control — full TCP/IP-based remote configuration, grouping, monitoring, and tuning of amplifier fleets via HARMAN Audio Architect or the Crown iOS/Android app
Onboard Advanced DSP — built-in multi-band parametric EQ, crossovers, time-alignment delays, and a flexible matrix mixer; no external speaker processor needed
LevelMAX™ Limiters — coordinated peak, RMS, and thermal protection on every channel to keep connected drivers safe under sustained load
Channel-Independent Impedance Modes — freely mix low-impedance and 70V/100V loads across channels within the same unit simultaneously
GPIO Automation Ports — programmable general-purpose I/O for master volume pots, preset recall triggers, and external relay or controller integration
Universal PFC Switched-Mode Power Supply — auto-ranging 100V–240V AC, 50/60Hz; compatible with power infrastructures globally
Front LED Diagnostic Matrix — real-time visual monitoring of signal presence, clip events, thermal warnings, and network fault status across all 8 channels at a glance
