The 600W Crown Audio CDi 2|600 2-Channel Power Amplifier 600Wutilizes technology derived from the flagship Crown DriveCore Install series amplifiers, providing an impressive mix of high-performance, rich feature set, and competitive cost. The CDi DriveCore 2|600 offers streamlined functionality for most medium-sized installation such as cinema, houses of worship, bars, lounges, and more.

The DriveCore integrated circuit eliminates hundreds of components within the amplifier, reducing the variability of component values and increasing reliability, resulting in remarkable audio fidelity from an efficient design. The 2-channel amplifier is simple to use and includes a network control & monitoring, an advanced DSP circuit, and an easy-to-use, front-panel interface.

The amplifier is capable of driving up to 100Vrms speaker loads without requiring a transformer and comes pre-loaded with JBL speaker tunings to help make installations quicker and easier. The CDi 2|600 features an Ethernet port for using HARMAN's HiQnet Audio Architect software for configuration and operation over a standard TCP/IQ network. The rear panel includes terminal block inputs and barrier strip outputs.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Would this be a suitable amp to power a subwoofer in a small home theater setup?

A: The Crown Audio XLi 1500 Stereo Power Amplifier could potentially be used in a home theater setup, as it has both SpeakOn and RCA power outputs. However, before choosing a power amplifier it is vital to check the wattage required by the speakers you want to power.

Q: 2. Can I stack one on top of the other with heating problems?

A: It is recommended to leave at least 1u of space between amps to reduce potential overheating issues.

Q: 3. Will this work in Australia which is 240 volts?

A: The Crown Audio XLi 3500 Stereo Power Amplifier that we sell is rated at 120V AC, 60 Hz for use in North America. However, you can use a step-down transformer to enable powering at 240V.

Q: 4. 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: 5. What is the actual amperage draw for this amplifier?

A: At this time, that specification is not listed by the manufacturer.

Q: 6. 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: 7. Of any class of this ( Crown xti 1002)Thank

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

Q: 8. 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.

Q: 9. The manufacturer is not clear on his specs. 300W per channel at 4 or 8 Ohms?

A: The Crown Audio CDi 4|300 4-Channel DriveCore Series Power Amplifier can supply 300W per channel at 4 ohms and 300W per channel at 8 ohms. This is due to an auto-sensing circuit that adjusts the amp's internal wiring, allowing it to supply 300W per channel, whether it is operating at 4 or 8 ohms.

Q: 10. Is the XLi 2500 a push/pull amplifier?

A: Yes. The Crown Audio XLi 2500 Stereo Power Amplifier uses Class AB circuitry, which has a push-pull output stage.
