CDi 2|300BL Analog + BLU link input, 2 channel, 300W per output channel

The CDi DriveCore Series represents the next step in amplification, offering a combination of high performance, advanced features, and cost efficiency. Drawing from technology in Crown’s flagship DriveCore Install series, the CDi DriveCore 2|300BL provides streamlined functionality for small to medium-sized installations, including restaurants, retail stores, and more.

The 2|300BL is a 2-channel amplifier designed for flexibility and ease of use. It features network control and monitoring, advanced DSP, a user-friendly front-panel interface, and the ability to drive up to 100 Vrms speaker loads without requiring transformers. The BL model also includes BLU link, enabling channels to be sent and received over HARMAN’s digital audio BUS. All CDi DriveCore amplifiers come preloaded with JBL speaker tunings to simplify and accelerate installation.
