Description
For applications that require Dante or AES67 networked audio, the Crown DriveCore Install DA Series provides a balanced combination of output power, channel count and speaker load flexibility along with proprietary DriveCore® technology for superb efficiency and exemplary audio quality. The DCi DA Series includes a high-powered DSP with JBL speaker tunings, network control/monitoring, and the ability to drive 2/4/8/16 ohm, 70V and 100V speaker loads. The amp's advanced capabilities and support for Dante Domain Manager makes it perfect for installations that have standardized on Dante for networked audio transport.
Features:
- Integrated Dante™ / AES67 Networked Audio - Simplifies installation by enabling Dante / AES67 networked audio signals to be sent directly to the amplifier. Provides flexibility of installation options available with our expansive line-up of DriveCore Install amplifiers. Includes support for Dante 4.0 firmware for integration with Dante Domain Manager.
- Network Configuration, Monitoring & Control - Better monitoring, control and audio manipulation with the HiQnet™ protocol over standard TCP/IP network. The HiQnet Audio Architect software allows for remote configuration, monitoring, and control of all aspects of the DCi-DA Series amplifiers.
- Programmable General Purpose Input/Output Port - GPIO ports can be configured in many different ways, such as volume controls, recall presets, or to report errors to third-party control system.
- Digital Signal Processing - DSP capabilities include the following:
- LevelMAX Limiters
- Input/Output EQ
- Crossover
- Delay
- Matrix Router
- Speaker Line Monitoring
