The Crown DCi 8300N Power Amplifier is built for system integrators who need advanced features, reliable performance, and flexibility in installed sound applications. Powered by Harman’s patented DriveCore technology, it combines hundreds of discrete circuits into a single chip, resulting in improved efficiency, lower power consumption, and greater reliability. This Crown DCi 8300N Power Amplifier supports both low-impedance (2–16 ohms) and high-impedance (70/100V) speaker loads, making it suitable for a wide range of installations. The rear panel includes dual BLU link connectors for up to 256 channels of digital audio over Cat 5e, as well as Ethernet for HiQnet Audio Architect control. A programmable GPIO port provides integration with external analog controls such as volume knobs. The Crown DCi 8300N Power Amplifier offers a full suite of tools, including input/output EQ filters, crossovers, alignment delay, and LevelMAX limiters. Protection circuits safeguard against shorted outputs, DC, mismatched loads, overheating, voltage irregularities, and high-frequency overloads. The Crown DCi 8300N Power Amplifier ships with a universal power supply and power cord.
