Crown CDI4X600BL 4x600 Power Amplifier with BLU link
Crown CDI4X600BL – 4-Channel 600W DriveCore Amplifier with BLU link
Product Overview
The Crown CDI4X600BL is a four-channel, 600-watt-per-channel CDi DriveCore Series amplifier with integrated BLU link digital audio networking, designed for higher-output commercial AV installations using Harman's BLU link infrastructure. The CDI4X600BL delivers 2400 watts of total amplification with lossless digital audio transport from BSS Audio signal processors over Cat cable, making it a primary specification for AV integrators deploying high-output multi-zone amplification within Harman BSS-based system architectures in auditoriums, conference centers, and houses of worship.
Product Description
The CDI4X600BL delivers 600 watts per channel into 4 ohms across all four channels with 70V and 100V constant-voltage output support alongside low-impedance operation. The integrated BLU link interface provides 256-channel digital audio transport at up to 96kHz/24-bit resolution over shielded Cat cable, eliminating multi-core analog runs between the BSS processor and the amplifier rack. Crown's DriveCore IC integrates driver and output stages for thermal efficiency in permanent commercial rack installations. Comprehensive DC, thermal, and short-circuit protection on all four channels supports unattended commercial operation.
