Crown DCI4X1250 Analog Power Amplifier
The Crown DCI4X1250 is a professional-grade analog power amplifier built for live sound engineers and touring operations. Its compact 2RU rack-mount form factor packs serious output density without hogging rack real estate, while the universal power supply with Power Factor Correction handles any venue's electrical infrastructure worldwide. This is a no-nonsense amplifier engineered to push clean power through complex signal chains with transparent response.
Power Output & Headroom
Delivering 1250W per channel at 8 ohms across all four channels, the DCI4X1250 provides ample headroom for peak transients and sustained high-SPL reinforcement. Bridge mono operation yields up to 2500W, giving you the flexibility to reconfigure channels on the fly for different venues and speaker topologies.
Audio Performance & Signal Integrity
A signal-to-noise ratio exceeding 108dB and 0.35% THD deliver transparent amplification with inaudible noise floor and minimal distortion artifacts. The damping factor greater than 1500 (20Hz–100Hz) keeps speakers locked tight and responsive, while frequency response of ±0.25dB (8Ω, 20Hz–20kHz) maintains flat, predictable response across the audible spectrum—essential for reliable live sound.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much power does the DCI4X1250 deliver, and can I use it in mono?
The amplifier delivers 1250W per channel at 8 ohms across four channels, or up to 2500W in bridge mono mode per pair of channels, giving you flexible configuration options for different speaker loads and venue requirements.
What is the audio quality and noise performance?
The DCI4X1250 has a signal-to-noise ratio exceeding 108dB, 0.35% total harmonic distortion, and a flat frequency response of ±0.25dB (20Hz–20kHz), ensuring transparent amplification with minimal noise floor and coloration.
What speaker impedances and loads can this amplifier handle?
The DCI4X1250 supports load impedances from 2Ω to 16Ω in stereo and dual modes, and is compatible with 70Vrms and 100Vrms distributed audio systems, making it adaptable to most professional speaker configurations.
Does this amplifier work worldwide with different power standards?
Yes, the DCI4X1250 features a universal power supply with Power Factor Correction, providing compatibility and efficiency across different international power standards.
What is the damping factor, and why does it matter?
The damping factor exceeds 1500 (20Hz–100Hz), which means the amplifier maintains tight, accurate control over speaker motion and prevents speaker ringing or bloat—critical for clean, punchy amplification in live and studio environments.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
