The Legendary CDi Series Evolves

The CDi 2|600 delivers the perfect combination of performance and features. Crown's efficient DriveCore technology eliminates hundreds of components, which increases sound quality and reliability. Control, configure, and monitor via a standard TCP/IQ network using Harman's HiQnet Audio Architect software. Customize your system with this amplifier's onboard DSP, which includes pre-loaded JBL speaker tunings for trouble-free installation. An easy-to-use front-panel interface provides quick at-a-glance information and easy configuration. Beyond that, the CDi 2|600 can drive speaker loads up to 100Vrms without a transformer. Crown's CDi DriveCore 2|600 is a great choice for any medium-sized installation such as cinema, houses of worship, bars, lounges, and more.

DriveCore technology maximizes sound quality and reliability

By eliminating hundreds of components, Crown's DriveCore technology reduces the variability of component values. This streamlined design maximizes both reliability and sound quality. At Sweetwater, we're extremely impressed by the efficiency of these power amplifiers.

Optimize your sound with powerful onboard DSP

The CDi DriveCore 2|600's powerful onboard DSP provides plenty of opportunities for customization. You get complete control over input routing, as well as up to 1,000ms of input delay and an 8-band input parametric EQ. You also get an adjustable crossover, up to 100ms of output delay, and an 8-band output parametric EQ. A LevelMAX limiter ensures maximum output and dynamic range while protecting the long-term integrity of your speakers. On top of that, pre-loaded JBL speaker tunings make installation fast and easy.

Straightforward network control and monitoring

The CDi 2|600 employs Harman's HiQnet Audio Architect software to control, configure, and monitor it via a standard TCP/IQ network. To get started, you simply plug into a wireless router — your amplifier will auto-populate. This indispensable software automatically understands your amp's physical and logical placement and can automate many laborious configuration tasks, while networking is controlled by a simple drag-and-drop interface. You can also use the Powered by Crown app to achieve wireless control and monitoring using your iOS device.
