Crown DCI2X300N – 2-Channel 300W Network DriveCore Install Amplifier
Product Overview
The Crown DCi 2X300N is a 2-channel 300W Network DriveCore Install amplifier purpose-built for commercial AV and installed sound applications. Featuring BSS BLU link digital audio networking, HiQnet control, and 70V/100V distributed audio capability, the DCi 2X300N is an ideal solution for installed sound systems in corporate, hospitality, education, and commercial environments.
Product Description
The Crown DCi N Series represents the convergence of advanced amplification technology and modern network audio infrastructure for installed sound. The DCi 2X300N leverages Crown's DriveCore Install platform — optimized for continuous operation, rack-dense deployment, and compatibility with BSS Audio's BLU link digital audio bus. BLU link allows the DCi 2X300N to receive audio over a simple Cat-5 connection from any BLU link-capable BSS Audio processor, eliminating analog signal runs in complex installed systems. HiQnet networking enables centralized monitoring and control via BSS Audio Architect software, while the built-in 70V/100V transformer option makes the amplifier compatible with distributed audio systems throughout a facility. The DCi 2X300N's onboard DSP provides comprehensive loudspeaker management including EQ, crossover, limiting, and delay, configured via Audio Architect.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is BLU link and how does it benefit installed sound systems?
- BLU link is BSS Audio's proprietary digital audio bus that carries multiple channels of high-quality audio over standard Cat-5 or Cat-6 cable. In installed sound systems, BLU link allows the DCi 2X300N to receive audio directly from a BSS Audio processor without running dedicated analog audio cables — significantly simplifying installation, reducing cabling costs, and enabling longer signal runs without degradation.
- Can the DCi 2X300N be used with non-BSS audio processors?
- Yes. The DCi 2X300N also accepts standard analog audio inputs, making it compatible with any audio source. BLU link connectivity is an additional option for use within BSS Audio ecosystem installations.
- Does the DCi 2X300N support 70V distributed audio?
- Yes. The DCi 2X300N includes a built-in 70V/100V transformer, making it directly compatible with constant-voltage distributed speaker systems commonly used in commercial and hospitality installations.
- What software is used to configure the DCi 2X300N's DSP?
- The DCi 2X300N is configured using BSS Audio Architect software via the HiQnet Ethernet connection. Audio Architect provides access to all DSP parameters and system-wide control of both the amplifiers and connected BSS Audio processing equipment.
- What warranty does the DCi 2X300N carry?
- The Crown DCi 2X300N carries Crown's standard limited warranty for professional installed sound equipment. Contact Crown or your authorized dealer for specific warranty terms.
