A Crown Reference Designed for Integration: The "DriveCore Install" Spirit
The DCI (DriveCore Install) range was designed to meet the demands of fixed environments (multipurpose rooms, places of worship, public venues, amusement parks, multi-zone installations), where stability, load handling, and supervision are as important as power. Its approach relies on a hybrid analog/digital amplification circuit and the DriveCore architecture to combine performance and energy efficiency in an installation-oriented format.
For Whom and For What Uses?
The Crown DCI amplifiers are primarily aimed at integrators, technical managers, and operators seeking a multichannel amplifier capable of powering multiple 70V/100V lines or low-impedance loads, while maintaining clear per-channel management. It is a solution suited for distributed sound systems, multi-room installations, and projects where power centralization in a technical rack is desired, with the option to switch from a simple (Analog) approach to a controlled and supervised (Network) approach.
