The DriveCore Install DA series is a line of premium installation amplifiers with Dante networked audio transport that are based upon advanced DriveCore technology. These amplifiers feature an efficient design with network control/monitoring, high-level DSP with JBL tunings.

• Integrated Dante networked audio
• Network configuration, monitoring & control
• Programmable general purpose input/output port

Simplifies installation by enabling Dante networked audio signals to be sent directly to the amplifier.

Better monitoring, control and audio manipulation with the HiQnet protocol over standard TCP/IP network. The HiQnet Audio Architect software allows for remote configuration, monitoring, and control of all aspects of the DCi-DA series amplifiers.

GPIO ports can be configured in many different ways, such as volume controls, recall presets, or to report errors to third-party control system.

Q: 1. If purchased this amp will be mounted in a television station Production Control Room. How loud is the "forced air cooling fan?

A: Crown Audio has not provided an ambient noise spec for the XLi 800 Amplifier, but with proper ventilation the variable-speed cooling fan can be kept below maximum power, thereby reducing ambient noise levels.

Q: 2. Does it have a fan? How noisy is it?

A: Yes, there are internal cooling fans included with the XLi 1500 that help to prevent the amp from overheating. The fans are fairly quiet, not noisy.

Q: 3. Of any class of this ( Crown xti 1002)Thank

A: The only reference to class : XTi2 Series amplifiers require Class 2 output wiring

Q: 4. WHAT IS THE VOLTAGE OF THE CROWN XLI 2500 POWER AMPLIFIERS? THOMAS BROWN

A: The Crown Audio XLi 2500 Stereo Power Amplifier and the other Crown amps that we sell operate at 120 VAC, 60 Hz.

Q: 5. How loud are the fans when playing at high volumes?

A: The fan used is specified at 28.3 db/A. An engineer at Crown did a test and was getting between 71 and 75 dB right at the fan, and about 45-55 dB at 1 meter. The test was done in a lab with multiple amps and DSPs running in the background as well; so the unit alone would be much quieter.

Q: 6. Where is the country of origin for this product?

A: The country of origin is Mexico.

Q: 7. Do you hear the fans when all is quiet?

A: On the XLi series amplifiers the fans do operate when the unit is idle. They may even increase in speed once the unit reaches a specific operating temperature. I generally recommend the amplifiers be housed in a closed rack enclosure to mitigate fan noise if the unit is going to be housed in the listening space.

Q: 8. Is this Rms power or max power?

A: The wattage figures given for the Crown Audio XTi 4002 Power Amplifier are peak power levels, not RMS.

Q: 9. Do the Crown amps come with an EU cord?

A: The Crown Audio DCI8300N 8-Channel DriveCore Install Series Network Amplifier (300W) comes with a single power cord in a standard 15A IEC NEMA 5-15 configuration. This is the common, 3-prong US power connection. An EU compatible cable is not supplied with purchase.

Q: 10. If there is a power outage do you have to press that switch to power the amp back on or does it stay depressed?

A: I am sorry but there are no details posted in the product information or specifications regarding whether the power switch would need to be pressed again after a power outage. The Crown Audio XLi 1500 Stereo Power Amplifier does have a circuit breaker with a reset switch on the back panel to protect the amp from a surge. The circuit breaker may activate if there is a power outage and then you would press the reset button and most likely would have to press the power switch again to turn the amp on.
