Crown DCI4X300DA DCI4X300 Dante B-Stock
The Crown DCI4X300DA is a compact four-channel power amplifier built around networked audio distribution, combining professional-grade amplification with integrated Dante connectivity for studio routing, multiroom monitoring, and complex signal distribution. This unit excels in recording facilities where remote gain management, multi-channel flexibility, and digital audio transport over standard Ethernet streamline session workflows and eliminate cable clutter in patch bays and monitoring setups.
Amplification & Monitor/Speaker Compatibility
Each of the four channels delivers 300W at 4Ω—1200W total output, with exceptional damping factor (>1000) and minimal distortion (0.35% THD) across the audible spectrum. The amplifier accommodates 4Ω, 8Ω, 70V, and 100V constant-voltage speaker loads, enabling flexible matching to studio monitors, multiroom speaker arrays, and distributed headphone/cue systems of any impedance configuration.
Dante Networking & On-Board DSP for Mixing
Native Dante audio input with 16x16 channel capacity at 24-bit, 48kHz/96kHz brings multi-channel audio into the amplifier over a single Ethernet connection, reducing studio interconnect complexity. Onboard DSP processing includes levelMAX limiters, parametric EQ, crossover, delay, matrix routing, and speaker line monitoring—all accessible from control surfaces, DAW plugins, or dedicated interfaces for real-time session adjustments.
Key Features
- Four-channel power amplifier, 300W per channel at 4Ω (1200W total)

The DCI4X300DA delivers the low-noise floor, routing flexibility, and integrated DSP control necessary for studios managing multiple independent monitor feeds, multichannel cue systems, and networked monitoring rigs without dedicated hardware interfaces.
As a B-Stock instrument it carries a minor cosmetic blemish with no effect on playability, tone or structure, which is why it sells for less than a first-quality unit. It is new, unplayed and covered by the full manufacturer warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean?
B-Stock indicates this unit is new and unplayed with a minor cosmetic blemish that does not affect performance, tone, or function. It carries the full manufacturer warranty and sells at a reduced price because of that cosmetic imperfection.
Can this amp work with my existing analog audio sources?
Yes. The DCI4X300DA includes analog XLR and AES3 digital inputs alongside its native Dante connectivity, so it integrates with both legacy analog equipment and modern networked systems.
What speaker loads does it support?
Each of the four channels delivers 300W at 4Ω and accommodates 4Ω, 8Ω, 70V, and 100V constant-voltage loads, making it compatible with passive low-impedance arrays, standard monitors, and distributed paging or install systems.
What onboard processing is available?
The amp includes levelMAX limiters, parametric EQ, crossover, delay, matrix routing, and speaker line monitoring—all configurable locally or via network control for flexible DSP management without external outboard gear.
How many Dante channels can it handle?
The Dante input supports 16x16 channel capacity at 24-bit resolution and 48kHz or 96kHz sample rates, enabling multi-channel distribution over a single Ethernet connection and AES67 standards-based networked audio.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
Sales tax is collected only on orders shipped to California; orders shipped to any other US state are not charged sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website. At a typical 7% rate that is an estimated $217 less at checkout than the same listed price on a marketplace, which collects sales tax as the facilitator in most states. Buyers remain responsible for any use tax their state applies. Free US shipping and 30-day returns are included.
