Crown CDi2x1200 2-Channel Power Amplifier
The Crown CDi2x1200 is a compact, rack-mount power amplifier built for touring rigs, venue installations, and rental fleets. Its lightweight design and efficient thermal management slip into tight rack spaces without compromise—1200W per channel of reliable, road-tested amplification muscle that performs night after night.
Power & Amplification
This amp delivers 1200W per channel at 4 ohms, with the flexibility to run 70/100V, 4/8 ohm loads—eliminating the need for external step-up transformers and keeping your system architecture simple. The 0.7V RMS sensitivity and damping factor exceeding 1000 lock your speakers tight, controlling speaker response and keeping transients clean across the full frequency range.
Audio Performance & Control
Distortion stays low at 0.35% THD across the audible range, while the 104dB+ signal-to-noise ratio and 80dB+ crosstalk rejection mean your mix stays transparent and noise-free, even on quiet passages. Onboard DSP and network control let you monitor and adjust the amp remotely from the FOH position or your mobile device, with pre-loaded JBL speaker voicings ready to dial in systems on arrival.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean for this amplifier?
B-Stock means the unit is fully functional and carries the same specifications and warranty as new, but may have minor cosmetic imperfections from display or handling. No impact on sound quality or reliability.
Can I run this amp with my existing 70V distributed system without extra transformers?
Yes. The CDi2x1200 supports 70/100V loads natively, so you can wire it directly to a 70V line without step-up transformers, simplifying your install and reducing cost and signal loss.
What's the difference between this and the Behringer NX3000 or QSC RMX 5050?
The CDi2x1200 delivers 1200W per channel with 0.35% THD, a damping factor over 1000, and integrated DSP with network control and JBL speaker voicings. It's engineered for venues and touring rigs that demand transparent, high-headroom amplification with remote monitoring built in.
Does this amp have onboard EQ or speaker tuning presets?
Yes. The CDi2x1200 includes onboard DSP, network control, and pre-loaded JBL speaker tunings, so you can dial in your monitor or PA speakers without external processors.
Is this suitable for home recording or a small practice space?
No. This is a professional-grade touring and installation amplifier designed for live sound, rental inventories, and fixed installations. For home recording and practice, consider a smaller, more compact amp.
