Description
Crown Audio Cinema MA4 DSi 4-Channel Power Amplifier (US Version)
The Crown MA4 DSi is a compact, rackmount power amplifier engineered for studio monitoring, immersive mixing environments, and installed audio systems where reliable, transparent amplification meets professional control. This 2RU 19-inch unit delivers clean, low-distortion output across four independent channels, making it an ideal amplifier for control rooms, surround-sound monitoring setups, and multiroom recording facilities that demand consistent, accurate reproduction.
Power & Performance
Rated at 700W total 4-channel output with impressive 2100W per channel at 2 Ohms, the MA4 DSi provides substantial headroom for demanding monitoring and mixing tasks. The 0.35% THD specification and 20 Hz–20 kHz frequency response ensure clean, accurate signal reproduction with minimal coloration—essential for precision monitoring, critical mixing, and tracking applications where transparency matters.
Digital Signal Processing & Control
Integrated 96 kHz/32-bit DSP allows advanced signal conditioning without external processors: each channel features 8-band parametric EQ, variable crossovers, delay capabilities, and FIR processing for sculpting monitor mixes and routing options. The LevelMAX limiting protects speakers and ensures consistent output levels across multitrack sessions, while RJ45 connectivity enables remote control via HARMAN Audio Architect Software and SNMP integration for networked studio environments and automation workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between the MA4 DSi and comparable amps like the QSC CX4 or Crown I-Tech 5000HD?
The MA4 DSi delivers 700W across four channels with up to 2100W per channel at 2 Ohms and includes integrated 96 kHz/32-bit DSP, parametric EQ, crossovers, and FIR filtering built into every channel. Its 0.35% THD and cinema-grade design make it ideal for theater and installed audio where transparent, low-coloration amplification is critical.
Can I control the MA4 DSi remotely or integrate it into a larger system?
Yes—the amp features RJ45 connectivity for remote control via HARMAN Audio Architect Software and SNMP integration, allowing it to work within theater management systems and networked installations.
What digital processing is included, and do I need external gear?
Each of the four channels includes 8-band parametric EQ, variable crossovers, delay, and FIR processing, plus LevelMAX limiting for automatic output protection. This integrated DSP eliminates the need for external processors in most professional installations.
What power output should I expect, and what impedance loads does it handle?
The MA4 DSi is rated at 700W total 4-channel output, with up to 2100W per channel at 2 Ohms when bridged. It also supports standard 4-channel operation and includes a universal 100–240V power supply with IEC connector.
What's the physical footprint, and will it fit in a standard rack?
The MA4 DSi is a compact 2RU 19-inch rackmount unit, making it easy to integrate into touring rigs, installed systems, and theater equipment racks.
