Crown CDI6000 – 2-Channel High-Output Contractor Install AmplifierProduct OverviewThe Crown CDI6000 is a two-channel, high-output contractor install amplifier built for large-scale commercial audio installations requiring substantial continuous power for main speaker systems. Part of Crown's CDi Series, the CDI6000 is suited for AV integrators and commercial installers specifying high-output two-channel amplification in auditoriums, large houses of worship, performing arts venues, and commercial facilities where demanding speaker loads and long 70V distribution runs require significant amplification headroom.Product DescriptionThe CDI6000 delivers high continuous output power across both channels with full 70V and 100V constant-voltage support alongside 4-ohm and 8-ohm low-impedance operation. Built for permanent rack-mount installation, the CDI6000 provides the output capacity of the CDi Series at its highest two-channel power level, suitable for driving main speaker arrays and subwoofer systems in large commercial venues. Front-panel controls and metering support on-site commissioning, and comprehensive protection circuitry covers DC faults, overtemperature, and short-circuit conditions for reliable unattended operation.Key Features High-output two-channel power — Maximum CDi Series output for driving main speaker systems in large commercial venues. 70V/100V constant-voltage output — Both channels support large-scale distributed speaker systems. Contractor install design — Built for permanent rack-mount deployment in commercial audio installations. Front-panel controls and metering — On-site level adjustment and signal monitoring. 4Ω and 8Ω low-impedance operation — Direct-drive main and subwoofer speaker systems. Independent channel operation — Each channel independently configurable for dual-zone or biamplification use. Comprehensive protection — DC, thermal, and short-circuit protection on both channels. Rack-mount chassis — Standard rack-mount form factor for commercial AV equipment racks.

The CDI6000 is part of Crown's contractor install CDi Series, focused on reliable high-output amplification at a competitive price point. The DCi Series adds onboard DSP, HiQnet network control, and DriveCore technology for systems requiring more advanced signal processing and remote monitoring. Is the CDI6000 suitable for driving subwoofers? Yes. High continuous output and 4-ohm load capability make the CDI6000 appropriate for subwoofer and low-frequency speaker systems in commercial venues. Can both channels drive separate speaker systems? Yes. Both channels operate independently for biamplification or dual-zone operation from a single amplifier. What is the warranty? Crown CDi contractor install amplifiers carry a 3-year limited warranty. Contact Creation Networks for service information.
