Crown CDI2X300BL – 2-Channel 300W DriveCore Amplifier with BLU link
Product Overview
The Crown CDI2X300BL is a two-channel, 300-watt-per-channel CDi DriveCore Series amplifier with integrated BLU link digital audio networking, designed for commercial AV installations using Harman's BLU link infrastructure. The CDI2X300BL enables lossless digital audio transport from BSS Audio signal processors to the amplifier over Cat cable, making it suited for AV integrators specifying two-channel zone amplification within Harman BSS-based system architectures in conference rooms, commercial facilities, and houses of worship.
Product Description
The CDI2X300BL delivers 300 watts per channel into 4 ohms across both channels with 70V and 100V constant-voltage output support. The integrated BLU link interface provides 256-channel digital audio transport at up to 96kHz/24-bit resolution over shielded Cat cable, eliminating analog runs between the BSS processor and the amplifier. Crown's DriveCore IC integrates driver and output stages for thermal efficiency in permanent rack installations. Comprehensive DC, thermal, and short-circuit protection on both channels supports reliable unattended commercial operation.
