Crown DCI8X300-U-USFX DCi 8|300 DriveCore 8-Channel Analog Power Amplifier, 70V/100V 300W at Ohm
Key Features
- High channel density: eight 300W channels in a 2U rack saves rack space and reduces infrastructure costs for large installations.
- Constant-voltage output (70V/100V): simplifies wiring and eliminates step-up transformers, cutting material and installation time for paging and distributed audio.
- Channel-level flexibility: independent Hi-Z/Low-Z switching and bridgeable pairs let you power loudspeakers and subwoofers without complex workarounds.
- Energy-efficient design: advanced PFC and efficient cooling reduce heat and operating power, lowering total cost of ownership in 24/7 security and monitoring sites.
- Control-ready integration: remote on/off and industry-friendly interfaces make the amplifier easy to incorporate into security, surveillance, and building automation systems.

Overview
For integrators deploying paging, background music and security/ surveillance audio, the Crown by Harman DCi 8|300 is a compact, high-density solution that delivers reliable performance where it matters. This DriveCore install series pro amplifier packs eight independent channels of 300W each (2,400W total) into a 2U chassis, giving you more power per rack unit for demanding monitoring and public address systems. With native 70V/100V constant-voltage outputs and channel-independent Hi-Z/Low-Z selection, installers can route hundreds of distributed speakers or drive individual low-impedance loads without extra transformers or complicated wiring. Bridgeable channel pairs add flexibility for higher-power subwoofers, while advanced power factor correction and efficient cooling keep racks cooler and energy bills lower. Built for professional environments, the DCi 8|300 supports remote control integration and carries a 3-year limited warranty—ideal for commercial audio, security installations, and campus monitoring projects. Specify the DCi 8|300 to simplify deployments and improve audio reliability—contact sales to schedule a demo or add it to your project's bill of materials.
