DCi Series amplifiers are designed, engineered and manufactured to the industry’s highest quality standards, and provide system integrators with the advanced features and flexibility required for challenging 21st century installed sound applications. Versatile, compact and highly energy-efficient, DCi Series amplifiers continue the unbroken Crown tradition of leadership in professional and commercial power amplifier technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n   \u003cli\u003eTrue Rack Density – Power points of 300W or 600W in 2-\/4-\/8-channel configurations – all in a 2 Rack Unit form factor. More channels in one box allow smaller infrastructure rooms that can reduce operational costs while giving you the utmost in installation flexibility.\u003c\/li\u003e\n   \u003cli\u003eDirect Drive Constant Voltage – Save money by using smaller gauge wiring to drive the speakers using either 70V rms or 100Vrms. With no need for a step-up transformer at the output, the DCi produces higher audio quality much more efficiently. \u003c\/li\u003e\n   \u003cli\u003eChannel Independent Hi-Z\/Low-Z Selection – Drive either one or two speakers in low-Z mode, or literally hundreds of speakers in high-Z mode (70Vrms or 100Vrms). This means better design flexibility since DCi powers all loads on a channel-by-channel basis.\u003c\/li\u003e\n   \u003cli\u003eBridgeable Channel Pairs – Unlike amps from other manufacturers, the DCi Series channels are bridgeable – even in 100Vrms mode – which means even more adaptability for higher power applications such as subwoofers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n   \u003cli\u003eRemote On\/off Interface – Save power by integrating the amplifier into a control system so you can easily turn it on and off.\u003c\/li\u003e\n   \u003cli\u003eEfficient Cooling Design – Highly efficient internal cooling fans provide airflow to the most heat-generating parts. Incorporating the fans into the amplifier brick design maximizes cooling while minimizing wasted energy and noise.\u003c\/li\u003e\n   \u003cli\u003eAdvanced Power Factor Correction (Pfc) Universal Power Supply – The most advanced power supply in an installation amplifier delivers power more efficiently in almost any condition than anyone else, resulting in less power dissipated and less heat in your racks.\u003cbr\u003e\n   \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOutput Channels: 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFrequency Response (8Ω, 20Hz - 20kHz): ±0.25dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTotal Harmonic Distortion (at full rated power, 20Hz - 20kHz): 0.35%\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDamping Factor (20Hz to 100Hz): \u0026gt;1000\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLoad Impedance (Stereo\/Dual Mode): 2Ω - 16Ω; 70Vrms and 100Vrms\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLoad Impedance Bridge Mono: 4Ω - 16Ω; 140Vrms and 200Vrms\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCooling: Continuously variable speed forced air, front to back airflow\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum Fan Noise (re dBA SPL @ 1M): 47\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRequired AC Mains (±10%): 100V-240V ~ 50\/60Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePower Connector: 15A IEC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDimensions (W x H x D): 483 mm x 89 mm x 362 mm or 19 in x 3.5 in x 14.25 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeight: 10.66 kg (23.5 lbs)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n\nManufacturer: Crown Audio\u003cbr\u003eModel: DCI8X300\u003cbr\u003eSKU: I644148-N-0-WHXE\u003cbr\u003eUPC: 691991008856\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWe are Chuck Levin's Washington Music Center\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince 1958, Chuck Levin’s Washington Music Center has been the trusted destination for musicians and audio professionals across Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.
