fantastic little amp

By John
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2016-01-26

I've installed 4 of these units on 2 softball field press boxes and for a boot camp and archery range on a university campus for announcements and background music. I paired them with some jbl outdoor speakers 8 and 12 version and it is a wonderful setup. both owners are in love with them. they were producing absolutely NO hiss whatsoever. very very good amp.

Flexible and great sound

We've been using the Crown CDi-1000 as the staple of our installs for years and fully agree with the previous review. Great unit!

The Crown Audio CDi 1000 Two-Channel Commercial Amplifier (500W/Channel at 4 Ohms, 70V/140V) has Euroblock audio inputs. These would be used to connect to bare wires with the included block adapters.
