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

Crown DCi 4|1250N

The Crown DCi 4|1250N DriveCore Install Series amplifier is a high-performance four-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-mountable form factor. With 1250W per channel at 4 ohms, it is engineered for high-output applications such as large venues, stadiums, transportation hubs, and complex distributed audio systems requiring robust multi-zone amplification.

This amplifier integrates HARMAN’s BLU link digital audio transport along with balanced analog inputs, providing flexible connectivity options 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 delivers essential audio processing tools including EQ, crossover, delay, matrix mixing, and LevelMAX limiting for precise system tuning and loudspeaker protection.

The DCi 4|1250N supports 2Ω–16Ω loads as well as 70V and 100V constant-voltage systems, making it suitable for both low-impedance and distributed audio applications. Its high damping factor ensures accurate speaker control, while efficient front-to-back cooling and universal power supply guarantee stable performance under demanding operating conditions. Network monitoring and control are supported via HiQnet protocol over standard TCP/IP, enabling remote configuration, system diagnostics, and centralized management through Audio Architect software.

Programmable GPIO ports allow integration with external control systems for functions such as volume control, preset recall, and system status monitoring. With its combination of high power density, flexible audio routing, DSP control, and robust reliability, the Crown DCi 4|1250N is a powerful solution for modern installed sound environments.
