Crown Audio DCi 2|1250 Drivecore Install Analog Power Amplifier

The Crown DCi 2|1250 is a compact 2U rackmount power amplifier engineered for professional installation and touring applications where reliability and efficient power delivery are non-negotiable. Its lightweight 23.5 lb chassis and intelligent design make it a practical choice for systems requiring serious output without excessive rack real estate or power draw.

Audio Performance

This amplifier delivers 1250W per channel at 2, 4, or 8 ohms, with extended support for 70V and 100V distributed systems, making it adaptable across multiple installation scenarios. The 0.35% THD, frequency response of ±0.25dB, signal-to-noise ratio greater than 108dB, and damping factor >1500 ensure transparent amplification with controlled speaker behavior and minimal noise floor.

Design & Connectivity

The amplifier features barrier strip outputs for both low-Z and high-Z speaker systems, with each channel independently selectable for either configuration without requiring additional hardware. Input options include 10kOhm balanced and 5kOhm unbalanced impedance with a maximum input level of +26dBu, accommodating a wide range of source equipment.
