Crown Audio DCi 2|300N 2-Channel Power Amplifier

Crown DCi 2|300N

The Crown DCi 2|300N DriveCore Install Series amplifier is a compact, high-efficiency two-channel power amplifier designed for professional and commercial audio installations that require reliable performance, flexible connectivity, and life-safety compliance. Built on Crown’s proprietary DriveCore technology, it delivers consistent audio quality with reduced power consumption and efficient thermal management, making it suitable for continuous operation in demanding environments such as transportation facilities, hospitality venues, public buildings, and emergency audio systems.

This amplifier integrates HARMAN’s BLU link digital audio transport along with balanced analog inputs, providing flexible hybrid connectivity for modern system designs. Its intelligent priority input routing ensures uninterrupted operation by automatically switching to a backup source if the primary signal is lost. The built-in DSP engine offers essential processing tools including EQ, crossover, delay, matrix mixing, and LevelMAX limiting for accurate system tuning and loudspeaker protection across all zones.

The DCi 2|300N is EN 54-16 compliant, making it suitable for life-safety and voice alarm applications in accordance with European safety standards. It includes support for programmable GPIO ports, allowing integration with external control systems for functions such as volume adjustment, preset recall, and system status monitoring. Network monitoring and control are supported via HiQnet protocol over standard TCP/IP, enabling remote configuration and centralized system management 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 installations. Efficient front-to-back cooling, universal power supply, and high reliability ensure stable long-term performance. The Crown DCi 2|300N is a dependable solution for critical audio environments requiring compact design, digital integration, and life-safety certification.
