Crown DCI2X600 DriveCore Install Analog 2 Channel 2x600 Watt Amplifier
Crown DCI2X600 – 2-Channel 600W DriveCore Install Analog Amplifier
Product Overview
The Crown DCI2X600 is a two-channel, 600-watt-per-channel installation amplifier built for commercial AV systems requiring higher output power in a compact 1U rack chassis. Part of Crown's DriveCore Install Analog Series, the DCI2X600 is specified by AV integrators for main speaker systems in conference rooms, multi-purpose rooms, houses of worship, and commercial facilities where 70V distributed audio or direct-drive low-impedance speaker loads demand consistent high-output performance.
Product Description
The DCI2X600 delivers 600 watts per channel into 4 ohms across both channels with full 70V and 100V constant-voltage support in a 1U rack-mount chassis. Crown's DriveCore IC integrates the driver and output stages, improving thermal efficiency and long-term reliability in permanent commercial 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 amplifier includes comprehensive DC, thermal, and short-circuit protection for connected speaker systems.
Key Features
- 600W per channel at 4Ω — High output for main speaker systems in conference rooms, multi-purpose rooms, and commercial spaces.
- 70V/100V constant-voltage output — Both channels support distributed speaker systems with extended cable runs.
- Crown DriveCore technology — Integrated IC reduces thermal load in enclosed rack installations.
- Onboard DSP — Per-channel limiting, EQ, crossover, and delay without external processing.
- HiQnet network control — Remote monitoring and integration with Harman AV platforms.
- 1U rack-mount chassis — Compact form factor for commercial AV equipment racks.
- Independent channel configuration — Each channel independently configurable for zone-specific settings.
- Comprehensive protection — DC, thermal, and short-circuit protection on both channels.
- Balanced XLR inputs — Professional input connectivity for commercial AV signal paths.
- PureBand Flatness — Consistent frequency response across the full audio bandwidth.
Typical Applications
- Conference room and boardroom main speaker systems
- Multi-purpose room and all-hands room audio
- House of worship main and fill speaker amplification
- Commercial meeting space foreground audio
- Government facility public address amplification
- Training room and auditorium fill speaker systems
- Distributed 70V speaker systems in commercial facilities
