Crown Audio DCi 4|1250DA 4-Channel Power Amplifier

Crown DCi 4|1250DA

The Crown DCi 4|1250DA DriveCore Install DA Series amplifier is a high-performance networked audio power solution designed for professional installed sound systems that require Dante or AES67 digital audio integration. Built with advanced DriveCore technology, it combines high efficiency, compact design, and powerful DSP capabilities to deliver reliable performance in complex audio environments. With four high-power channels delivering up to 1250W per channel at 4 ohms, it is engineered for large venues, transportation hubs, stadiums, convention centers, and life-safety audio systems.

This amplifier supports full Dante and AES67 network audio compatibility with redundant primary and secondary network ports, ensuring secure and uninterrupted audio transmission. It can operate at both 48 kHz and 96 kHz, and also supports analog audio routing through the network with pre- and post-processing options. Its integrated DSP engine provides advanced audio control including EQ, crossover, delay, matrix routing, speaker tunings, and LevelMAX limiting, ensuring precise system tuning and protection for connected loudspeakers.

Designed for mission-critical applications, the DCi 4|1250DA is EN 54-16 compliant, making it suitable for voice alarm and life-safety systems in compliance with European safety standards. Continuous load monitoring, sweep load monitoring, and pilot tone verification enhance system reliability and fault detection. The amplifier also features high, medium, and low priority inputs with programmable delays and processing, allowing intelligent signal management in complex installations.

Network control and monitoring are handled via HiQnet Audio Architect software, enabling remote configuration, diagnostics, and system supervision over standard TCP/IP networks. Additional features such as GPIO control, auxiliary ports, removable air filters, and front-panel LED indicators enhance system integration and operational flexibility. With its combination of networked audio support, DSP control, and safety certification, the Crown DCi 4|1250DA is designed for demanding, large-scale professional installations requiring reliability and advanced audio distribution.
