Crown CDi 2|1200 - 1200W 2-Channel Analog Input 70V/100V Power Amplifier

The Crown CDi 2|1200 is a powerful 1200W 2-channel analog input power amplifier, designed to deliver high performance, reliability, and efficiency for a wide range of large-scale installations. Engineered with Crown's proprietary DriveCore technology, the CDi 2|1200 offers outstanding audio fidelity while eliminating hundreds of traditional amplifier components, resulting in a streamlined design that enhances both durability and sound quality. Whether installed in cinemas, houses of worship, hotels, or on cruise ships, this amplifier provides a robust and flexible solution for any high-impedance system requiring 70V or 100V speaker loads without the need for external transformers. Its sleek black finish and 19-inch rackmount form factor make it both visually appealing and easy to integrate into professional AV systems.

The CDi 2|1200 is equipped with advanced DSP (Digital Signal Processing) capabilities, allowing for precise customization of audio settings to meet the needs of any environment. With features such as input routing, parametric EQ (8-band), input and output delay, crossover management, and LevelMAX limiting, this amplifier offers a high level of control over the audio output, ensuring optimal sound performance in every installation. The built-in DSP operates at 96kHz, 32-bit floating point, providing exceptional clarity and detail across the entire frequency spectrum, with a frequency response of +/-0.25dB. The amplifier's on-board monitoring and control functions can be accessed via Harman's HiQnet Audio Architect software, allowing for remote configuration, monitoring, and system adjustments over a standard TCP/IQ network.

One of the key features of the CDi 2|1200 is its ability to directly drive 70V and 100V speaker loads, making it ideal for large distributed audio systems commonly found in commercial and public spaces. Each output channel can independently deliver 1200W at 70Vrms or 100Vrms, eliminating the need for transformers and simplifying system design. The amplifier can also operate in bridge mono mode, delivering up to 2400W at 8 Ohms or 2400W at 200Vrms, making it versatile enough to handle a wide range of applications. The amplifier also includes a front-panel interface that allows users to configure and monitor the unit easily, making it simple to adjust settings directly on the device when needed.

Designed for demanding environments, the CDi 2|1200 features a robust cooling system with continuously variable-speed forced air, ensuring that the unit operates efficiently even under heavy loads. With a maximum fan noise of 54dBA, the amplifier remains quiet during operation, making it suitable for use in noise-sensitive environments such as auditoriums or recording studios. The amplifier's power supply supports a wide range of AC mains from 100V to 240V, 50/60Hz, ensuring compatibility with electrical systems worldwide. Additionally, the unit includes a GPIO/AUX port for recalling presets, muting channels, monitoring faults, and powering the amplifier on and off remotely, offering enhanced control over the system's functionality.

Pre-loaded with JBL speaker tunings, the CDi 2|1200 simplifies setup and installation, ensuring optimal performance when paired with JBL speakers. The amplifier's lightweight design, weighing just 17.20 lbs, and compact dimensions of 19 x 16.01 x 3.5 inches make it easy to install in standard rack systems, offering a space-efficient solution for both new installations and upgrades. With a signal-to-noise ratio greater than 104dB, total harmonic distortion of just 0.35%, and a damping factor greater than 1000, the CDi 2|1200 delivers clean, precise audio that is ideal for professional sound systems in large venues.
