Crown Audio DCi 4|300N 4-Channel Power Amplifier

Crown DCi 4|300N

The Crown DCi 4|300N DriveCore Install Series amplifier is a compact and efficient four-channel power amplifier designed for professional installed audio systems that require reliability, flexible connectivity, and life-safety compliance. Built on Crown’s proprietary DriveCore technology, it delivers consistent high-quality audio performance with low power consumption and efficient thermal management, making it suitable for continuous operation in commercial, institutional, and emergency voice evacuation environments.

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

The DCi 4|300N is EN 54-16 compliant, making it suitable for life-safety and voice alarm applications in accordance with European standards. It also supports programmable GPIO ports for integration with external control systems, enabling functions such as volume control, preset recall, and system status monitoring. Remote monitoring and configuration are supported via HiQnet protocol over standard TCP/IP networks, allowing centralized system control through Audio Architect software.

Designed for versatility, the amplifier supports 2Ω–16Ω loads as well as 70V and 100V constant-voltage systems, making it ideal for both low-impedance and distributed audio applications. Efficient front-to-back cooling, universal power supply, and high reliability ensure stable long-term performance in demanding environments. The Crown DCi 4|300N is a dependable solution for critical audio installations requiring power, flexibility, and life-safety certification.
