Features

• True Rack Density – Offers 300W or 600W per channel in 2-, 4-, or 8-channel configurations within a 2RU form factor. More channels per unit reduce infrastructure requirements, lower operational costs, and provide maximum installation flexibility.

• Direct Drive Constant Voltage – Drives speakers at 70V RMS or 100V RMS without step-up transformers, delivering higher audio quality more efficiently and allowing the use of smaller-gauge wiring.

• Channel-Independent Hi-Z/Low-Z Selection – Each channel can power one or two speakers in low-Z mode, or hundreds of speakers in high-Z mode, giving system designers full flexibility on a per-channel basis.

• Bridgeable Channel Pairs – Channels can be bridged, even in 100V RMS mode, enabling higher-power applications such as subwoofers.

• Remote On/Off Interface – Integrates with control systems for easy power management and energy savings.

• Efficient Cooling Design – Internal fans provide targeted airflow to heat-generating components, maximizing cooling while minimizing noise and wasted energy.

• Advanced Power Factor Correction (PFC) Universal Power Supply – Ensures highly efficient power delivery under nearly any operating condition, reducing heat and energy dissipation in racks.

The DCi Series amplifiers provide reliable, flexible, and professional-grade performance, ideal for modern installed audio systems.
