CDi 2|300 Analog input, 2 channel, 300W per output channel

The CDi DriveCore Series represents a new standard in amplification, combining high performance, a rich feature set, and cost efficiency. Built on technology from Crown’s flagship DriveCore Install series, the CDi DriveCore 2|300 is designed for small to medium-sized installations such as restaurants, retail stores, and similar venues.

The 2|300 is a 2-channel amplifier that features network control and monitoring, advanced DSP, an intuitive front-panel interface, and the ability to drive up to 100 Vrms speaker loads without the need for transformers. Like all CDi DriveCore amplifiers, it comes preloaded with JBL speaker tunings, simplifying setup and ensuring optimal performance.

Key Features

• DriveCore Technology: Crown’s proprietary DriveCore design eliminates hundreds of components per amplifier, reducing component variability, increasing reliability, and delivering high-fidelity audio with efficiency.

• Network Control & Monitoring: Full control, configuration, and monitoring via Harman’s HiQnet Audio Architect over standard TCP/IP networks.

• DSP (Digital Signal Processor):

  • Input router and delay (up to 1000 ms)

  • 8-band input parametric EQ

  • Crossover

  • 8-band output parametric EQ

  • Output delay (up to 100 ms)

  • LevelMAX™ limiter

• BLU link (BL models only): Send and receive channels over HARMAN’s 256-channel, fault-tolerant digital audio BUS.

• Direct Drive 70/100 Vrms Output: Each channel supports high-impedance outputs for 70 V or 100 V speaker systems.

• Front-Panel Interface: Full amplifier configuration via an intuitive user interface.

• GPIO/AUX Port: Control presets, mute channels, monitor faults, power on/off, and other functions through a combined GPIO/AUX connection.
