Crown CDi2x600 2x600W Power Amplifier
The Crown CDi2x600 is a compact, networked power amplifier engineered for studio monitoring, live tracking, and high-fidelity playback applications. Built on Crown’s proprietary DriveCore technology, this amp delivers professional-grade reliability and precise power management in a format that integrates seamlessly into modern recording and mixing environments.
Power Output & Sonic Performance
This amp produces 600W per channel at 4 ohms and 8 ohms in dual-channel mode, with bridge-mono capability reaching 1200W at 8 and 16 ohms—sufficient headroom for demanding monitor systems and speaker arrays. The 104dB signal-to-noise ratio and 0.35% THD across the full 20Hz–20kHz bandwidth ensure transparent, uncolored amplification critical for accurate monitoring during tracking and mixing sessions.
Studio Control & Remote Management
Network-based monitoring and control via HiQnet Audio Architect software allows real-time management over TCP/IP, enabling engineers to adjust levels and diagnostics from the console or control room without leaving the mixing position. The integrated front-panel interface and high-level DSP provide flexible gain staging and configuration for diverse studio setups, from dedicated control rooms to mobile recording rigs.
