Features

Analog & Digital Inputs
DCi amplifiers support balanced analog inputs along with digital audio transport via HARMAN’s proprietary BLU-Link, providing superior audio performance at a lower system cost. A priority input router allows users to assign a primary input and automatically switch to a secondary source if the main signal is lost.

Network Monitoring & Control
Using the HiQnet™ protocol over standard TCP/IP networks, DCi amplifiers enable comprehensive remote monitoring, control, and audio management. Performance and status can be viewed and adjusted through Audio Architect software and the Powered by Crown app.

Programmable General-Purpose I/O Ports
Flexible GPIO ports can be configured for multiple functions, including volume control, preset recall, and reporting system status or errors to a central control system.

Digital Signal Processing (DSP)
Built-in DSP tools include:

• LevelMAX™ limiters

• Input and output EQ

• Crossover

• Delay

• Matrix mixer

• Speaker line monitoring

EN 54-16 Compliance for Life Safety Applications
Part 16 of the EU EN 54 standard specifies requirements for voice alarm systems that deliver spoken messages instead of traditional sirens. DCi amplifiers are certified as part of an EN 54-16 VACIE*, meeting strict life safety standards for hospitality, large venues, and other critical installations.
