Crown DCI4X1250N – 4-Channel 1250W Network DriveCore Install Amplifier
Product Overview
The Crown DCi 4X1250N is a 4-channel 1250W Network DriveCore Install amplifier delivering high output power with BSS BLU link digital audio networking, HiQnet control, and 70V/100V distributed audio capability. The DCi 4X1250N is designed for large-scale commercial AV installations, auditoriums, and complex distributed audio systems requiring both high power and advanced network integration.
Product Description
The Crown DCi 4X1250N combines the high power output of a professional amplifier with the network audio and control infrastructure required by today's sophisticated installed sound environments. Four channels at 1250 watts each provide the output power needed for large installed PA systems, auditorium amplification, and high-power distributed audio zones. BSS BLU link digital audio connectivity enables clean, noise-free audio distribution over Cat-5 infrastructure from any BLU link-capable BSS Audio processor, while HiQnet networking provides centralized system monitoring and control via BSS Audio Architect. The built-in 70V/100V transformer option makes the DCi 4X1250N compatible with large constant-voltage distributed speaker systems. Onboard DSP per channel provides comprehensive loudspeaker management including parametric EQ, crossover, limiting, and delay — all configurable via Audio Architect software.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How does the DCi 4X1250N differ from the DCi 2X300N?
- The DCi 4X1250N delivers 4 channels at 1250W each versus 2 channels at 300W for the DCi 2X300N. The 4X1250N is designed for high-power, large-scale installations requiring both higher output and greater channel count, while the 2X300N is suited to smaller zones and distributed audio applications. Both share the same BLU link, HiQnet, 70V/100V, and DSP capabilities.
- Can the DCi 4X1250N be integrated with third-party control systems?
- Yes. Via HiQnet, the DCi 4X1250N can be monitored and controlled from any HiQnet-compatible control system, including Harman's own system controllers and third-party AMX or Crestron control systems with HiQnet integration drivers.
- Does the DCi 4X1250N support analog inputs as well as BLU link?
- Yes. The DCi 4X1250N accepts standard balanced analog audio inputs in addition to BLU link digital audio, ensuring compatibility with any audio system regardless of whether BLU link infrastructure is present.
- Is the DCi 4X1250N suitable for 70V distributed speaker systems?
- Yes. The DCi 4X1250N includes a built-in 70V/100V transformer, making it fully compatible with constant-voltage distributed speaker systems across all four channels.
