Description
Crown DCI4X300 4-Channel Analog Power Amplifier
The Crown DCI4X300 is a compact 2-unit rackmount power amplifier built for studio monitor systems, multiroom tracking setups, and hybrid analog workflow installations. Its clean amplification across four independent channels delivers the headroom and control needed to power multiple studio reference monitors or tracking speaker arrays from a single rack unit, with the reliability that keeps sessions running without interruption.
Power & Amplification
This amp delivers 300W per channel at 8 Ohms and 300W x 4 Channels at 4 Ohms, providing the headroom to drive demanding studio monitors and nearfield arrays with authority. The damping factor exceeding 1000 (20Hz–100Hz) ensures tight speaker control and accurate bass reproduction for critical mixing and mastering, while THD of just 0.35% at full rated power guarantees transparent, clean amplification—essential for accurate frequency balance during recording and mixing sessions.
Connectivity & Configuration
Channel-independent Hi-Z/Low-Z selection and bridgeable channel pairs let you configure the amp to match your studio monitor impedance and multiroom speaker topology without compromise. Load flexibility from 2Ω to 16Ω in stereo/dual mode, plus 70Vrms and 100Vrms constant voltage capability, streamlines integration into diverse studio monitoring architectures and distributed speaker setups.

Frequently Asked Questions
What power does the DCI4X300 deliver per channel?
The amp delivers 300W per channel at 8 Ohms and maintains 300W per channel even at 4 Ohms. It supports load impedance from 2Ω to 16Ω in stereo and dual mode, plus 70Vrms and 100Vrms constant voltage outputs for flexible system integration.
How clean is the amplification, and will it color my audio?
Total harmonic distortion is just 0.35% at full rated power, with frequency response held to ±0.25dB (8Ω, 20Hz–20kHz). The damping factor exceeds 1000 from 20Hz–100Hz, ensuring tight bass control and transparent reproduction across the spectrum.
Can I configure the channels for different speaker setups?
Yes. Channel-independent Hi-Z/Low-Z selection and bridgeable channel pairs let you adapt the amp to your specific impedance and speaker configuration, whether you're running four separate zones or bridging pairs for higher power into fewer loads.
Is this amp suitable for touring and mobile rigs?
Absolutely. The DCI4X300 is housed in a rugged 2 rack unit form factor built for installations and touring systems. Its straightforward interface, proven topology, and consistent night-to-night performance make it equally at home in a permanent install or a mobile rig.
What are the physical dimensions and how does it mount?
The amp occupies 2 rack units of horizontal space, making it compact enough for tight racks while delivering the power needed for mid-to-large venue speaker systems. It mounts standard in any 19-inch rackmount architecture.
