**Key Features:**

1. **True Rack Density:** The DCi Series amplifiers are available in power points of 300W, 600W, or 1250W across 2-/4-/8-channel configurations, all housed within a compact 2U form factor. This design enhances installation flexibility and reduces operational costs by fitting more channels into a smaller rack space.

2. **Direct Drive Constant Voltage:** These amplifiers support 70Vrms and 100Vrms amplification without the need for a step-up transformer, allowing for the use of smaller gauge wiring and improving overall audio quality and efficiency.

3. **Channel Independent Hi-Z/Low-Z Selection:** Each channel can be configured for either low-Z mode to drive one or two speakers or high-Z mode to drive multiple speakers, offering enhanced design flexibility and efficient power distribution.

4. **Bridgeable Channel Pairs:** The DCi Series amplifiers feature bridgeable channels even in 100Vrms mode, making them suitable for high-power applications like subwoofers.

5. **Remote On/Off Interface:** The amplifier can be integrated into a control system for convenient power management, reducing power consumption when not in use.

6. **Efficient Cooling Design:** Internal cooling fans are strategically placed to direct airflow to the most heat-generating components, optimizing cooling efficiency while minimizing energy waste and noise.

7. **Advanced Power Factor Correction (PFC) Universal Power Supply:** This power supply delivers exceptional efficiency under varying conditions, minimizing power dissipation and reducing heat generation in rack environments.

The DCi Series amplifiers embody Crown’s commitment to high-performance, reliability, and innovation, continuing to set the standard for professional and commercial power amplifier technology.
