Crown Audio DCi 4|300DA 4-channel Power Amplifier

Crown DCi 4|300DA

The Crown DCi 4|300DA DriveCore Install DA Series amplifier is a professional-grade four-channel networked audio power amplifier designed for modern distributed sound systems requiring Dante or AES67 connectivity. Built on Crown’s proprietary DriveCore technology, it delivers high efficiency, reduced heat generation, and consistent audio performance in a compact installation-friendly design. With 300W per channel at 4 ohms, it is well suited for small to medium-sized commercial venues, including offices, retail spaces, hospitality environments, and institutional installations.

This amplifier supports redundant Dante and AES67 network audio inputs through primary and secondary ports, ensuring reliable and uninterrupted digital audio transmission. It can operate at both 48 kHz and 96 kHz sampling rates and supports analog-to-network audio routing with pre- and post-processing capabilities. Its integrated DSP engine provides comprehensive audio control, including input/output EQ, crossover, delay, matrix routing, and LevelMAX limiting, enabling precise system tuning and loudspeaker protection across all zones.

The DCi 4|300DA features advanced system monitoring tools such as continuous load monitoring, sweep load analysis, and pilot tone detection to ensure system integrity and fault detection in critical applications. It supports high, medium, and low priority inputs with configurable delays and processing options for intelligent signal management. The amplifier also integrates seamlessly with HiQnet Audio Architect software for full remote configuration, monitoring, and control over TCP/IP networks.

Additional features include programmable GPIO ports for external system integration, auxiliary ports for status and control functions, removable air filters for maintenance efficiency, and front-panel LED indicators for real-time status monitoring. With its combination of networked audio capability, DSP control, and reliable DriveCore performance, the Crown DCi 4|300DA is a versatile solution for scalable professional audio installations.
