The Crown CDi 6000 is a powerful 2-channel amplifier designed for professional installed sound applications, delivering 2100W per channel at 4 ohms. As part of Crown's renowned CDi Series, this amplifier is built to provide exceptional performance in large venues such as arenas, concert halls, theaters, houses of worship, and other demanding environments. The CDi 6000 is known for its rugged construction, intuitive user interface, advanced protection features, and onboard digital signal processing (DSP), making it an ideal solution for professional sound reinforcement.
This amplifier offers versatile operation, supporting low-impedance (2, 4, 8 ohms) as well as high-impedance systems (70V and 140V), allowing it to drive a wide variety of speaker setups without the need for external transformers. In dual-mode operation, the CDi 6000 delivers an impressive 3000W at 2 ohms, 2100W at 4 ohms, and 1200W at 8 ohms, making it suitable for high-power applications. It also provides 2500W at 70V for distributed sound systems. When operating in bridge-mono mode, the amplifier can output a staggering 6000W at 4 ohms or 5000W at 140Vrms, ensuring ample power for the most demanding installations.
The CDi 6000 is equipped with a front-panel LCD screen that simplifies setup and configuration, allowing installers to easily navigate through the amplifier's settings. This intuitive interface makes it quick and easy to fine-tune system parameters, even in complex installations. The onboard DSP enhances system performance by offering advanced audio processing capabilities, including crossovers, EQ filters, delay, and output limiting. These features allow for precise tuning of the amplifier to match the acoustics of the venue and the specific requirements of the speaker system, ensuring optimal sound quality.
Engineered for long-term reliability, the CDi 6000 features Crown's advanced protection circuitry, which safeguards against shorted outputs, open circuits, DC, mismatched loads, general overheating, high-frequency overloads, and internal faults. This protection ensures the safety of both the amplifier and the connected speakers, even in challenging environments or during extended periods of high-volume operation. Additionally, the amplifier is equipped with a switch-mode universal power supply, which guarantees reliable performance in a wide range of power environments, allowing it to be used in installations worldwide without the need for voltage conversion.
To maintain optimal operating temperatures, the CDi 6000 uses a proportional-speed fan-assisted cooling system, which adjusts the fan speed based on the amplifier's internal temperature. This helps to keep the amplifier cool while minimizing fan noise, making it suitable for use in environments where quiet operation is essential. The amplifier's rugged, lightweight construction makes it easy to install in a variety of locations, with a 2U rack space design that fits standard equipment racks. Despite its high power output, the CDi 6000 weighs only 30 pounds, making it relatively easy to transport and install.
The CDi 6000 delivers pristine audio quality with uncolored sound and extremely low distortion, providing clear and accurate reproduction of both music and speech. Its total harmonic distortion (THD) is less than 0.05%, ensuring that the output signal remains clean even at high power levels. The amplifier also boasts a signal-to-noise ratio of 100dB, allowing for quiet operation free from interference or unwanted noise. With a damping factor greater than 500, the CDi 6000 provides excellent control over speaker movement, particularly in the low-frequency range, ensuring tight, responsive bass performance.
The CDi 6000 features barrier strip outputs for both low-impedance and high-impedance loads, as well as removable Phnix-style inputs for quick and secure installation. These professional-grade connections ensure reliable performance and make it easy to integrate the amplifier into existing audio systems. The amplifier's frequency response is +0dB, -1dB, providing consistent performance across the entire audible spectrum, while its crosstalk rating of >70dB minimizes signal bleed between channels, ensuring clear, isolated audio playback.
With its high power output, advanced DSP features, and rugged design, the Crown CDi 6000 is an ideal choice for large-scale sound installations that require reliable, high-performance amplification. Whether used in concert venues, theaters, houses of worship, or stadiums, the CDi 6000 delivers the power and precision needed for professional sound reinforcement.
