Crown NCDI2X12-U-US 2x1200 Power Amplifier
Crown CDI2X1200 – 2-Channel 1200W CDi DriveCore Power Amplifier
Product Overview
The Crown CDI2X1200 is a two-channel, 1200-watt-per-channel CDi DriveCore Series installation amplifier built for high-output commercial AV applications including main speaker systems in auditoriums, houses of worship, performing arts centers, and large commercial facilities. The CDI2X1200 delivers 2400 watts of total output with 70V and 100V constant-voltage support, providing the power headroom required for demanding distributed and direct-drive speaker loads in permanent commercial installations.
Product Description
The CDI2X1200 delivers 1200 watts per channel into 4 ohms across both channels with full 70V and 100V constant-voltage output support alongside 4-ohm and 8-ohm low-impedance operation in a rack-mount chassis. Crown's DriveCore IC integrates driver and output stages, managing the thermal demands of high-power continuous-duty operation in enclosed commercial racks. Front-panel controls and metering support on-site commissioning, and comprehensive DC, thermal, and short-circuit protection on both channels supports reliable unattended commercial operation.
