January 18, 2007 -- Crown International
announces that its CDi Series of professional power amplifiers for
installed sound applications has now been expanded with the addition
of the highest-powered CDi 4000
“With the launch of the CDi 4000, systems integrators now have an
even broader range of available power, which extends to 1200 watts per
channel into four ohms and 1000 watts per channel for 70-volt
distributed systems,” says Stephen Morris, Crown International
director of marketing for installed sound, touring and cinema. “With
its advanced technologies and highly competitive price point, the CDi
family truly represents an unmatched value in its class.”
Like its siblings, the CDi 1000 and CDi 2000, the high-performance
CDi 4000 is equipped with a host of sophisticated features, not the
least of which is its versatile ability to run both low-impedance
two-, four- and eight-ohm loads as well as 70- and 140-volt outputs.
An intuitive front panel LCD enables installers to quickly step
through the process of tailoring system parameters for onboard
loudspeaker processing (including crossovers, EQ, limiting,
compression, and delay), while 20 user-defined DSP presets ensure that
those settings can be easily recalled at the touch of a button. A
rear-panel USB connector further permits the amplifier to be
configured and controlled via a PC running Harman Pro’s HiQnet™ System
Architect™ software.
Equipped with Crown’s extremely light and efficient universal
switch-mode power supply, each of the three CDi models weighs only 19
pounds – despite being housed in a rugged steel 2U chassis – and can
be conveniently and reliably run off of a standard 15-amp outlet.
Advanced protection circuitry guards against shorted outputs, open
circuits, DC, mismatched loads, general overheating, high-frequency
overloads and internal faults. Quiet proportional-speed fans help keep
the amplifiers cool under rigorous operating conditions, and a number
of front-panel LEDs (signal, -10, -20, ready, clip, temp/fault, and
power) help provide the system operator with an immediate visual of
current amplifier status and performance.
Rear-panel connectivity includes detachable Phoenix-style input
connectors, barrier strip output connectors, and a NEMA 5-15P inlet
for AC mains.
Like all Crown amplifiers, the CDi Series provides accurate,
uncolored sound with very low distortion for the very best in music
and voice reproduction.
Crown also backs the line up with its unprecedented Three-Year,
No-Fault, Fully Transferable Warranty for guaranteed piece of mind.
Power output ratings on the CDi 4000 are as follows:
- 1600W per channel at two ohms
- 1200W per channel at four ohms
- 650W per channel at eight ohms
- 1000W per channel at 70V
- 3200W in bridge-mono mode at four ohms
- 2000W in bridge-mono mode at 140V
Highly cost-effective when compared to competitive products, the
CDi 4000 carries a suggested US list price of $1,800.00.
