Crown CDI2X1200BL – 2-Channel 1200W DriveCore Amplifier with BLU link
Product Overview
The Crown CDI2X1200BL is a two-channel, 1200-watt-per-channel CDi DriveCore Series amplifier with integrated BLU link digital audio networking, combining high-output amplification with Harman's BLU link infrastructure for commercial AV installations using BSS Audio signal processing. The CDI2X1200BL is suited for AV integrators specifying high-output two-channel zone amplification within Harman BSS-based system architectures in auditoriums, houses of worship, and large commercial facilities.
Product Description
The CDI2X1200BL delivers 1200 watts per channel into 4 ohms across both channels with 70V and 100V constant-voltage output and BLU link digital audio transport from BSS Audio processors. The integrated BLU link interface provides 256-channel digital audio at up to 96kHz/24-bit resolution over shielded Cat cable, eliminating analog runs between the BSS signal processor and the amplifier. Crown's DriveCore IC manages the thermal demands of high-power continuous-duty operation in enclosed commercial rack installations. Comprehensive DC, thermal, and short-circuit protection supports reliable unattended operation.
Key Features
- Integrated BLU link digital networking — 256-channel lossless audio over Cat cable from BSS Audio processors.
- 1200W per channel at 4Ω — High continuous output for main speaker systems in large commercial venues.
- 70V/100V constant-voltage output — Both channels support distributed speaker systems.
