Frequently asked questions
What is the main power difference between these two amplifiers?
The DCI4X600N outputs 600W per channel (2400W total), while the CDi4x1200 outputs 1200W per channel. The CDi4x1200 is rated for twice the per-channel power, making it better for higher-output installations.
Which amplifier is better for networked remote control?
The DCI4X600N is purpose-built with Ethernet connectivity for remote monitoring and diagnostics. The CDi4x1200 offers HiQnet Audio Architect wireless software control but less integrated network infrastructure.
How do their onboard signal processing capabilities compare?
The DCI4X600N includes integrated DSP with programmable GPIO and digital audio routing. The CDi4x1200 includes 8-band parametric EQ on input and output, adjustable crossovers, and pre-loaded JBL speaker tunings for faster setup.
Which handles 70/100V constant-voltage systems better?
The CDi4x1200 is explicitly optimized for 70/100V operation and can drive up to 100Vrms without a step-up transformer. The DCI4X600N supports 70/100V compatibility but with fewer specifications detailed for this application.
