Crown Audio CDi 2000 Two-Channel Power Amplifier - 800W per Channel, 70V/140V Support, Integrated DSP

Product Description The Crown Audio CDi 2000 is a rugged and highly versatile power amplifier engineered for the most demanding commercial and residential audio environments. As a step up in the CDi series, this 2U rackmount amplifier provides substantial clean power for both low-impedance and 70V/140V distributed audio systems. With a robust 800 watts per channel at 4 ohms, it is specifically designed to drive extensive speaker arrays in large venues, outdoor garden systems, and complex commercial installations. Central to the CDi 2000's performance is its integrated Digital Signal Processing (DSP), which offers comprehensive control over the audio signal. The DSP suite provides critical tools including crossover filters, delay, and output limiting, allowing for precise speaker calibration and protection. Users can easily manage these settings via the intuitive backlit LCD screen on the front panel or through a computer connection using the USB port. This ensures optimal sound balance and clarity tailored to the specific acoustics of any environment. Crown engineering ensures that the CDi 1000 remains a reliable cornerstone of any audio rack. It includes sophisticated protection circuitry against shorted outputs, open circuits, and thermal overloads. The cooling system utilizes a proportional speed fan to maintain safe operating temperatures even during high-output sessions. With professional balanced block inputs and barrier strip outputs, the CDi 2000 offers the dependable, high-wattage performance required for permanent, professional audio solutions.

Yes, the CDi 2000 is an ideal match for high-performance landscape systems, providing ample headroom to drive multiple outdoor satellites and subwoofers across large properties. Can I set different EQ settings for each channel? Yes. The onboard DSP allows for independent processing on each of the two channels, so you can tune one side for outdoor satellites and the other for a subwoofer if needed. How do I access the advanced DSP features? While the front LCD provides basic controls, the full range of DSP tools is accessed by connecting the amplifier to a PC via the USB-B port and using compatible system management software.
