The Crown Audio DCI 2|300N is a 300W DriveCore Install 2-channel BLU Link network amplifier with advanced features and flexibility that’s required by system integrators for challenging 21st century installed sound applications.
The 2/300N can produce up to 300W of output per channel at 2, 4, 8 or 16 ohms or 70 or 100 Vrms. It is compatible with Harman’s BLU Link digital audio transport and accepts digital inputs via its rear-panel RJ45 connectors. This digital control allows for networked monitoring, recallable presets, and the setup of secondary inputs that engage if the primary inputs fail. The 2|300N also has built-in DSP capabilities including limiting, input/output EQs, delay, and a matrix mixer.
Its two channels can be bridged for powering higher power applications such as a subwoofer. The 2|300N also has channel-independent high- or low-impedance output that is selectable from the rear-panel DIP switches. This allows you to integrate the amplifier into a variety of different setups. Each of its 2 channels additionally features independent attenuators with an attenuation range from 0 to -80 dB.
The front panel of the 2|300N provides a series of system indicators, including level and signal, ready, clip, thermal, and fault alerts for quick visual monitoring of the system. The unit can be integrated into a control system for powering on and off as well as engaging its sleep mode for saving energy when not in use. The 2|300N is rack-mountable and requires 2 RU of space.
