Crown CDI1000 – 2-Channel Contractor Install Power Amplifier
Product Overview
The Crown CDI1000 is a two-channel contractor install amplifier engineered for permanent commercial audio installations requiring reliable, efficient amplification in background music, paging, and distributed audio systems. Part of Crown's CDi Series, the CDI1000 is suited for AV integrators and commercial installers specifying cost-effective amplification for conference rooms, retail spaces, hospitality venues, and institutional facilities with 70V distributed speaker systems.
Product Description
The CDI1000 delivers continuous power across both channels with full 70V and 100V constant-voltage output support alongside 4-ohm and 8-ohm low-impedance operation. The amplifier is built for rack-mount installation in commercial AV systems where long-term reliability, straightforward configuration, and 70V distributed audio compatibility are the primary requirements. Its lightweight chassis simplifies installation in equipment racks, and its front-panel controls and metering provide on-site setup and monitoring capability. The CDI1000 includes built-in protection for DC faults, overtemperature, and short-circuit conditions, making it appropriate for unattended commercial operation.
