Crown DCI4X2400N – 4-Channel 2400W Network DriveCore Install Amplifier

Product Overview

The Crown DCI4X2400N is a four-channel, 2400-watt-per-channel installation amplifier with integrated network control, representing the highest-output model in Crown's DriveCore Install N Series. Built for large-scale commercial AV installations requiring maximum amplifier headroom, the DCI4X2400N is specified by AV integrators for main speaker systems in auditoriums, houses of worship, performing arts centers, and large multi-purpose venues. Each channel delivers 2400 watts at 4 ohms with 70V and 100V constant-voltage support in a 2U rack chassis.

Product Description

The DCi N Series amplifiers combine DriveCore efficiency with network-enabled control for enterprise AV installations. At 2400 watts per channel across four channels, the DCI4X2400N provides substantial amplification headroom for high-SPL applications with demanding speaker loads. Crown's DriveCore IC integrates the driver and output stages, reducing heat generation and improving long-term reliability in permanent rack installations. The built-in DSP provides per-channel limiting, crossover, parametric EQ, and alignment delay. Network control via HiQnet enables remote monitoring and management from Harman control platforms. The amplifier accepts analog XLR inputs and includes comprehensive speaker protection circuitry. At 9600 watts total output capacity, the DCI4X2400N is one of the most powerful 4-channel installation amplifiers available in a 2U form factor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can channels be bridged for higher mono output?

Yes. Channels can be bridged in pairs for increased mono output per channel pair. Refer to the Crown installation guide for bridged mode impedance requirements.

What speaker impedance is supported?

The DCI4X2400N supports 2Ω, 4Ω, and 8Ω loads, as well as 70V and 100V constant-voltage operation.

Does the amplifier require external DSP?

Not for most applications. Onboard DSP handles limiting, crossover, EQ, and delay. Complex multi-zone systems may benefit from upstream Harman BSS processing.

What is the warranty?

Crown professional installation amplifiers carry a 3-year limited warranty. Contact Creation Networks for support.
