Crown CDI4X1200 – 4-Channel 1200W CDi DriveCore Power Amplifier
Product Overview
The Crown CDI4X1200 is a four-channel, 1200-watt-per-channel CDi DriveCore Series installation amplifier built for large-scale commercial AV deployments requiring high-output multi-zone amplification. The CDI4X1200 delivers 4800 watts of total output across four independently driven channels with 70V and 100V constant-voltage support, suited for AV integrators specifying high-output four-channel amplification in auditoriums, houses of worship, performing arts centers, and large commercial facilities.
Product Description
The CDI4X1200 delivers 1200 watts per channel into 4 ohms across all four channels with full 70V and 100V constant-voltage output alongside 4-ohm and 8-ohm low-impedance operation in a rack-mount chassis. Crown's DriveCore IC integrates driver and output stages, managing the thermal demands of high-power continuous-duty operation across four channels in enclosed commercial racks. Front-panel controls and metering support on-site commissioning, and comprehensive DC, thermal, and short-circuit protection on all four channels supports reliable unattended commercial operation.
Key Features
- 1200W per channel at 4Ω, four channels — 4800W total for high-output multi-zone commercial audio.
- 70V/100V constant-voltage output — All four channels support distributed speaker systems.
- Crown DriveCore technology — Integrated IC manages thermal demands of high-power multi-channel operation.
- Independent channel operation — Four separately driven zones or speaker systems from a single amplifier.
- Front-panel controls and metering — On-site level adjustment and signal monitoring.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How does the CDI4X1200 compare to the Crown DCI4X1250?
- Both deliver comparable per-channel output. The DCI4X1250 adds full onboard DSP, HiQnet network control, and the DriveCore Install platform. The CDI4X1200 is the more cost-effective option for installations not requiring onboard DSP or remote monitoring.
- Can channel pairs be bridged for higher mono output?
- Yes. Adjacent channels can be bridged for higher mono output. Refer to the Crown installation guide for minimum bridged-mode impedance requirements.
- What is the warranty?
- Crown CDi DriveCore amplifiers carry a 3-year limited warranty. Contact Creation Networks for service information.
