Frequently Asked Questions - DCi 2|600N CROWN
What is the power output of the Crown DCi 2|600N per channel?
The DCi 2|600N delivers 600 watts per channel at 4 ohms and 300 watts per channel at 8 ohms, both channels driven (20 Hz–20 kHz, 0.5% THD). In bridged mono mode, it provides 1200 watts at 8 ohms.
Can I bridge the channels on the DCi 2|600N?
Yes, the amplifier can be bridged to combine both channels into a single, higher-power output. Use the bridged mode switch and connect the speaker to the positive terminal of channel 1 and the negative terminal of channel 2.
Warning: Minimum load in bridged mode is 8 ohms.
Warning: Minimum load in bridged mode is 8 ohms.
What input connectors are available?
The DCi 2|600N features XLR, 1/4" TRS, and Euroblock input connectors, providing flexibility for various signal sources. All inputs are balanced.
Does the DCi 2|600N have network connectivity?
Yes, with the optional PIP2 (Programmable Input Processor) module, it supports HiQnet over Ethernet for control and monitoring via Crown's software.
What protection features are included?
The amplifier includes comprehensive protection against short circuits, thermal overload, DC offset, and overload. It automatically reduces gain or shuts down if unsafe conditions are detected to prevent damage.
What is the recommended cooling for rack mounting?
Allow at least 1 rack unit (1.75") of space above and below the amplifier for airflow. Ensure the front and rear vents are not obstructed. The fan speed varies with temperature and power output.
How do I connect the amplifier in 70V/100V systems?
The DCi 2|600N is a low-impedance amplifier only. For constant-voltage (70V/100V) systems, an external step-up transformer is required. Consult Crown's documentation for compatible transformers.
What is the weight and rack depth of this amplifier?
The weight is approximately 16.5 lbs (7.5 kg), and it fits a standard 19" rack with a depth of 15.5 inches (394 mm). It occupies 2 rack units of height.
Can I use the DCi 2|600N with a generator or UPS?
Yes, but ensure the generator or UPS can handle the amplifier's peak inrush current (about 5 A at 120 V). A pure sine wave inverter is recommended for optimal performance.
How do I clean the amplifier?
Disconnect power. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior. For dust inside, use compressed air or a vacuum with a brush attachment at the vents. Never use liquids or solvents.
