Crown CDI2000 – 2-Channel Contractor Install Power AmplifierProduct OverviewThe Crown CDI2000 is a two-channel contractor install amplifier built for permanent commercial audio installations requiring higher output power in background music, paging, and distributed audio systems. Part of Crown's CDi Series, the CDI2000 is suited for AV integrators and installers specifying reliable, cost-effective two-channel amplification for conference rooms, houses of worship, multi-purpose rooms, and commercial facilities with 70V distributed speaker systems.Product DescriptionThe CDI2000 delivers increased continuous power across both channels compared to lower CDi models, with full 70V and 100V constant-voltage output support alongside 4-ohm and 8-ohm low-impedance operation. Built for rack-mount installation in commercial AV systems, the CDI2000 provides additional headroom for larger speaker loads and longer 70V distribution runs. Its lightweight chassis simplifies installation, and front-panel controls and metering enable on-site setup and signal monitoring. Built-in DC, thermal, and short-circuit protection supports reliable unattended commercial operation.Key Features Higher output two-channel power — Increased headroom for larger speaker loads and longer distributed audio runs. 70V/100V constant-voltage output — Both channels support distributed speaker systems in commercial installations. Contractor install design — Engineered for permanent rack-mount deployment in commercial audio systems. Lightweight chassis — Simplified rack installation and handling. Front-panel metering and controls — On-site level adjustment and signal monitoring. 4Ω and 8Ω low-impedance operation — Direct-drive speaker capability alongside constant-voltage output. Independent channel operation — Dual-zone audio from a single amplifier. Comprehensive protection — DC, thermal, and short-circuit protection for connected speaker systems. Typical Applications Conference room and boardroom audio systems House of worship distributed fill and overflow zone amplification Multi-purpose room background and foreground audio Government and institutional facility distributed audio Retail and hospitality background music systems Commercial meeting space audio Technical Specifications Specification Value Channels 2 70V/100V Support Yes Low Impedance 4Ω, 8Ω Rack-Mount Yes Protection DC, thermal, short-circuit SKU NCDI2000 Full specs See vendor datasheet Frequently Asked Questions How does the CDI2000 differ from the CDI1000? The CDI2000 delivers higher continuous output power per channel, providing additional headroom for larger speaker loads and longer 70V distribution runs in commercial installations. Is the CDI2000 suitable for permanent rack installation? Yes. The CDI2000 is engineered for permanent rack-mount deployment in commercial AV systems, including unattended background music and paging applications. Can each channel drive a separate speaker zone? Yes. Both channels operate independently for dual-zone audio from a single amplifier. What is the warranty? Crown CDi contractor install amplifiers carry a 3-year limited warranty.
