Crown DCI2X1250 2-Channel Analog Power Amplifier (1250W @ 4 ohms)
Crown DCI2X1250 – 2-Channel 1250W DriveCore Install Analog Amplifier
Product Overview
The Crown DCI2X1250 is a two-channel, 1250-watt-per-channel installation amplifier built for high-output commercial AV applications including main speaker systems in auditoriums, houses of worship, large conference rooms, and performing arts facilities. Part of Crown's DriveCore Install Analog Series, the DCI2X1250 delivers substantial amplification headroom in a 2U rack chassis with full 70V and 100V constant-voltage support, making it a primary specification choice for AV integrators deploying high-output two-channel amplification in commercial installations.
Product Description
The DCI2X1250 delivers 1250 watts per channel into 4 ohms across both channels with 70V and 100V constant-voltage output for distributed speaker systems. Crown's DriveCore IC integrates driver and output stages, reducing heat generation and improving thermal stability in permanent rack installations. Onboard DSP provides per-channel limiting, parametric EQ, crossover filtering, and alignment delay. HiQnet protocol support enables remote monitoring and control from Harman system management platforms. The 2U rack chassis provides structural stability and front-to-rear airflow for continuous-duty commercial operation.
Key Features
- 1250W 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 across extended cable runs.
- Crown DriveCore technology — Integrated IC improves thermal efficiency and long-term reliability.
- Onboard DSP — Per-channel limiting, EQ, crossover, and delay without external processing.
- HiQnet network control — Remote monitoring and management via Harman AV platforms.
- 2U rack-mount chassis — Standard rack form factor for commercial AV installations.
- Bridge mode capability — Channels bridgeable for higher mono output on demanding speaker loads.
- Independent channel configuration — Each channel configurable for independent zone or speaker system use.
- Comprehensive protection — DC, thermal, and short-circuit protection on both channels.
- PureBand Flatness — Consistent frequency response across the full audio bandwidth.
