Description
The Crown DCi 8|600 is a high-performance eight-channel installation amplifier designed for demanding commercial and professional audio applications. Delivering 600 watts per channel in a compact 2RU rackmount chassis, the amplifier provides exceptional power density, flexible system design, and reliable operation. Supporting both low-impedance and 70V/100V distributed audio systems, the DCi 8|600 features Crown’s Direct Drive Constant Voltage technology, bridgeable outputs, channel-independent Hi-Z/Low-Z configuration, and an advanced Power Factor Correction (PFC) universal power supply. Its high channel count and powerful output make it ideal for large-scale multi-zone installations and distributed sound systems.
