Dynacord C1800FDi – 2x950W DSP Install Power Amplifier

Product Overview

The Dynacord C1800FDi is a 2x950W DSP install power amplifier for fixed commercial AV systems that run 24/7. This rack-mount power amplifier drives 70 V loudspeaker lines directly and supports low-impedance loads (2 Ω, 4 Ω, 8 Ω), making it a strong fit for distributed background music and voice paging. With FIR Drive speaker processing and SONICUE control, the C1800FDi delivers clean, repeatable performance in conference rooms, houses of worship, and government spaces.

Product Description

The Dynacord C Series amplifiers are dedicated installation DSP amplifiers optimized for continuous 24/7 operation. The C1800FDi delivers 2x950W (4 Ω) and drives 70 V loudspeaker lines directly at 2 x 1250 W (-1.5 dB) without external output transformers, alongside low-impedance operation at 2 Ω, 4 Ω, and 8 Ω. Its Class AB output stage provides clean amplification for background music and intelligible announcements. Fully integrated professional speaker processing with FIR Drive technology gives integrators loudspeaker presets, FIR filters, output delay, and parametric EQ per channel for accurate system tuning. SONICUE sound system software (firmware 2.x or higher) handles commissioning, control, and supervision across a rack of amplifiers, while a front-panel LC display supports local control during service. A power-saving standby mode keeps operating cost low in always-on 70V power amplifier systems. The 1RU chassis with front-to-rear cooling fits neatly into a populated commercial rack. For higher output per channel, compare the Dynacord C2800FDi and Dynacord C3600FDi, or view the full Dynacord amplifier collection.

Key Features

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the C1800FDi drive 70 V loudspeaker lines without transformers?
Yes. The C1800FDi drives 70 V lines directly at 2 x 1250 W (-1.5 dB) without external output transformers, and also supports low-impedance loads at 2 Ω, 4 Ω, and 8 Ω.

How is the amplifier configured and controlled?
Setup, tuning, and supervision run in SONICUE sound system software (firmware 2.x or higher), with FIR Drive presets, limiters, delay, and parametric EQ per channel. A front-panel LC display allows local control.

Is it rated for continuous 24/7 operation?
Yes. The C Series is purpose-built for 24/7 fixed-install use, with front-to-rear 3-stage fan cooling and a power-saving standby mode.

How much rack space does it require?
The C1800FDi is a 1RU chassis (483 x 88 x 462.4 mm) weighing 15.2 kg (33.5 lb) and mounts in a standard 19-inch equipment rack.

How does it compare to other C Series models?
The C1800FDi is the entry low-impedance install model in this lineup. Step up to the C2800FDi (2x1400W) or C3600FDi (2x1800W) for larger systems.
