Crown CDi 2000 - 800W 2-Channel at 4-Ohm 70V/140V Power Amplifier

The Crown CDi 2000 is a powerful and versatile 2-channel amplifier designed specifically for installed sound applications. Delivering 800W per channel at 4 ohms and supporting both 70V and 140V speaker systems, this amplifier is perfect for a wide range of environments including auditoriums, houses of worship, restaurants, and more. Part of the renowned Crown CDi Series, the CDi 2000 offers professional-grade performance, reliability, and flexibility at an exceptional value, making it ideal for permanent installations.

The CDi 2000 features a user-friendly front-panel LCD screen, allowing installers to quickly and easily configure settings and tailor the amplifier's performance to the specific needs of the installation. This intuitive interface gives access to the amplifier's onboard digital signal processing (DSP), which includes advanced features such as crossovers, EQ filters, delay, and output limiting. With these tools, installers can optimize the sound quality for the specific acoustics of the space, ensuring precise control over speaker performance.

The CDi 2000 is built with Crown's signature durability, featuring a rugged and lightweight design that fills only 2U of rack space while weighing under 19 pounds. The amplifier's switch-mode universal power supply ensures reliable operation in various power environments, making it suitable for global installations. Additionally, the proportional-speed fan-assisted cooling system keeps the unit running efficiently without generating excessive noise, ensuring the amplifier remains cool even during extended use in demanding situations.

The CDi 2000 is highly versatile, capable of driving both low-impedance (2, 4, and 8 ohms) and high-impedance (70V and 140V) speaker loads. In dual-mode operation, the amplifier provides 1000W at 2 ohms, 800W at 4 ohms, and 475W at 8 ohms, with 800W available for 70V lines. In bridge-mono mode, the amplifier delivers a robust 2000W at 4 ohms or 1600W at 8 ohms or 140Vrms, making it suitable for large, high-powered speaker systems.

To ensure reliable operation and long-term durability, the CDi 2000 includes advanced protection circuitry that guards against shorted outputs, open circuits, DC, mismatched loads, overheating, high-frequency overloads, and internal faults. This comprehensive protection system helps prevent damage to the amplifier and connected speakers, ensuring uninterrupted operation even in challenging conditions.

The amplifier also offers a range of flexible connection options, including barrier strip outputs for low-Z or 70V/140V loads, and removable Phnix-style inputs for easy integration with various audio sources. These professional-grade connections ensure a secure, stable setup that is ideal for permanent installations.

With its focus on delivering accurate, uncolored sound, the CDi 2000 features low total harmonic distortion (THD) of less than 0.05%, ensuring crystal-clear audio reproduction for both music and speech. The amplifier has a signal-to-noise ratio of 100dB, providing high-quality sound free from unwanted background noise, and a damping factor greater than 500 for precise control of speaker output, particularly in low-frequency ranges. The frequency response of +0dB, -1dB ensures consistent performance across the entire audio spectrum.

Measuring 19 x 12.5 x 3.5 inches and weighing 22 pounds, the Crown CDi 2000 is compact enough to fit into standard 19-inch equipment racks, making it a space-efficient and manageable solution for professional audio installations.
