Crown DCI4X300DA DCI4X300 Dante
Description
Crown DCI4X300DA DCI4X300 Dante
The Crown DCI4X300DA is a compact four-channel power amplifier built for live sound and installed systems where networked control and processing flexibility matter. This unit combines professional-grade amplification with Dante audio networking, making it ideal for touring rigs, venue installations, and distributed sound applications that need remote monitoring and real-time DSP adjustment from anywhere in the venue.
Amplification & Power Delivery
Each of the four channels delivers 300W at 4Ω, providing substantial headroom across flexible impedance configurations. The amplifier accommodates 2Ω, 4Ω, 8Ω, 16Ω, and 70V/100V speaker loads, allowing integration with a wide range of loudspeaker systems and line-array installations without adapter requirements.
Network Control & Digital Audio
Native Dante™ and AES67 networking capabilities eliminate analog audio cabling and let you run multi-channel audio over a single Ethernet connection—critical for reducing cable clutter on stage or in a venue. HiQnet™ protocol over TCP/IP gives you remote monitoring, control, and diagnostics from the console or on your phone, while onboard DSP with JBL speaker tunings and programmable GPIO ports support customized system configurations without external processors.
Key Features
- Four-channel power amplifier with 300W per channel at 4Ω
