Crown CDi2x1200 2-Channel Power Amplifier
The Crown CDi2x1200 is a compact, rack-mount power amplifier engineered for studio monitoring, live tracking, and post-production environments. Its lightweight design and efficient thermal management integrate seamlessly into home studios, project studios, and mobile recording setups without consuming excessive rack space or generating heat-related workflow interruptions.
Power & Amplification
This amp delivers 1200W per channel at 4 ohms, with the flexibility to run 70/100V, 4/8 ohm loads—eliminating the need for external step-up transformers and simplifying session setup. The 0.7V RMS sensitivity and damping factor exceeding 1000 ensure tight, controlled speaker response across the frequency spectrum, critical for accurate mix translation and monitoring decisions.
Recording & Mix Performance
Distortion remains negligible at 0.35% THD across the audible range, while the 104dB+ signal-to-noise ratio and 80dB+ crosstalk rejection deliver transparent amplification with minimal noise floor—essential for tracking quiet sources and hearing subtle mix details. Onboard DSP and network control allow remote monitoring and EQ adjustment without leaving the console, with pre-loaded JBL speaker voicings for rapid acoustic tuning across different room conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean for this amplifier?
B-Stock means the unit is fully functional and carries the same specifications and warranty as new, but may have minor cosmetic imperfections from display or handling. No impact on sound quality or reliability.
Can I run this amp with my existing 70V distributed system without extra transformers?
Yes. The CDi2x1200 supports 70/100V loads natively, so you can wire it directly to a 70V line without step-up transformers, simplifying your install and reducing cost and signal loss.
What's the difference between this and the Behringer NX3000 or QSC RMX 5050?
The CDi2x1200 delivers 1200W per channel with 0.35% THD, a damping factor over 1000, and integrated DSP with network control and JBL speaker voicings. It's engineered for venues and touring rigs that demand transparent, high-headroom amplification with remote monitoring built in.
Does this amp have onboard EQ or speaker tuning presets?
Yes. The CDi2x1200 includes onboard DSP, network control, and pre-loaded JBL speaker tunings, so you can dial in your monitor or PA speakers without external processors.
Is this suitable for home recording or a small practice space?
No. This is a professional-grade touring and installation amplifier designed for live sound, rental inventories, and fixed installations. For home recording and practice, consider a smaller, more compact amp.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
We collect sales tax only on orders shipped to California. Orders shipped to any other US state are charged $0 sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website.
