Crown Audio DCi 2|1250N 2-Channel Power Amplifier

Crown DCi 2|1250N

The Crown DCi 2|1250N DriveCore Install Series amplifier is a high-performance two-channel power amplifier designed for demanding professional and commercial audio installations. Built on Crown’s proprietary DriveCore technology, it delivers exceptional efficiency, low heat output, and reliable long-term operation in a compact rack-mounted form factor. With 1250W per channel at 4 ohms, it is well suited for high-output applications such as large venues, auditoriums, transportation hubs, and distributed audio systems requiring robust power handling.

This amplifier integrates HARMAN’s BLU link digital audio transport along with balanced analog inputs, providing flexible connectivity options for modern audio system designs. The intelligent priority input router automatically switches between primary and backup audio sources, ensuring uninterrupted audio playback in case of signal loss. Its DSP engine provides essential system processing tools including EQ, crossover, delay, matrix mixing, and LevelMAX limiting for precise system tuning and loudspeaker protection.

The DCi 2|1250N supports network monitoring and control through HiQnet protocol over standard TCP/IP, enabling remote configuration, performance monitoring, and centralized system management via Audio Architect software. It also includes programmable GPIO ports for integration with external control systems, allowing functions such as volume control, preset recall, or system status reporting.

Designed for versatility, the amplifier supports 2Ω to 16Ω loads as well as 70V and 100V distributed systems, making it suitable for both low-impedance and constant-voltage installations. Efficient front-to-back cooling, universal power supply, and high damping factor ensure stable and consistent performance even under demanding conditions. The Crown DCi 2|1250N represents a powerful and flexible solution for modern installed audio environments requiring high output and reliable digital integration.
