ORLANDO, Florida — At InfoComm 2013, HARMAN’s Crown Audio is showcasing its DriveCore Install (DCi) Series power amplifiers. Successor to the company’s acclaimed CTs Series, the DCi amplifiers incorporate a host of improvements including HARMAN’s exclusive DriveCore™ technology to set new industry standards in reliability, sound quality, flexibility and efficiency.

Twelve models in the DCi Series are available ranging from 300 watts to 600 watts (into 4 and 8 ohms and 70Vrms and 100Vrms). The first number in the model is the amount of channels and the second number indicates the watts-per-channel power rating. All amplifiers are just 2U rack spaces high, to conserve valuable installation space.

“In introducing the DCi Series we had to exceed the benchmarks set by our acclaimed CTs Series, which has established itself as the de facto amplifier standard for installed sound applications,� said Daniel Saenz, Business Segment Manager, Install Sound, Crown. “It was no easy task, but our DCi Series offers an entirely new level of unsurpassed performance that will be appreciated by audio professionals worldwide.�

At the heart of the DCi Series is HARMAN’s proprietary DriveCore amplifier IC chip. The DriveCore chip combines the amplifier driver stage into the power output stage along with additional audio-signal functions – yet is about the size of a postage stamp. DriveCore and the DCi Series’ leading-edge amplifier topologies dramatically reduce size and power consumption requirements and yield much more energy-efficient operation that conforms to HARMAN International’s GreenEdge™ environmental initiative.

DriveCore technology dramatically reduces the footprint of the amplifier by replacing over 500 parts from a typical amplifier design with one single IC. Smaller amplifier engines means more channels can be put into a 2 RU box with more capabilities.

Crown DCi Series amplifiers can be operated into 8-, 4- or 2-ohm loads and offer direct drive “constant voltage� capabilities for 70Vrms and 100Vrms amplification without the need for a step-up transformer, yielding higher audio quality in distributed audio applications. The amplifiers incorporate an exclusive Power Factor Corrected Global Power Supply that is designed to deliver maximum power in any country and their universal AC input accepts voltages from 100 – 240 VAC, 50/60Hz (+/- 10%).

The DCi Series is Crown’s greenest amplifier line ever, with a Power Factor Corrected (PFC) power supply, a selectable powersave auto-standby mode where the amplifier will power down after 30 minutes of no input signal and consume less than 1 watt. In addition to the amplifiers’ balanced 3-pin input connectors and 2-pin terminal strip output connectors, a rear-panel AUX port enables the amplifiers to be integrated into control systems for remote on/off and amplifier fault monitoring.

Crown DCi Series amplifiers are built for the most demanding conditions of continuous professional use and carry a 3-year, no-fault fully transferrable warranty.

ORLANDO, Florida, June 12, 2013 — Systems integrator Engaging Technologies recently installed more than 200 Hitachi Ultra Short Throw projectors in six schools throughout the Gretna Public School District in Nebraska. The district is standardizing on the Hitachi CP-AW250N and BZ-1 Ultra Short Throw projectors thanks to their high performance, reliability and ease of use.

The Gretna Public School District called upon Engaging Technologies to equip the six schools with projectors in every classroom, which called for more than 200 projectors. Engaging Technologies began the project by installing Hitachi CP-AW250N Ultra Short Throw Projectors and later transitioned to the Hitachi BZ-1, installing more than 50 BZ-1 units since the project’s inception.

“Out of the more than 200 units we placed in the school district, there have hardly been any issues with the Hitachi projectors,� said Dustin Frank, President, Engaging Technologies.

Frank noted the District has been extremely happy with the Hitachi projectors’ quality. “The District has really enjoyed the Hitachi projectors and there were some things they really liked in particular—the Ultra Short Throw technology, which they had never seen before, along with the brightness and the flexibility to use the projector with virtually any computer software,� said Frank.

In the near future, Engaging Technologies will also be installing 22 more BZ-1 projectors in Gretna High School, as some new classrooms have been added to the building.

“The Gretna School District has continued to stay with the Hitachi Ultra Short Throw projectors,� Frank concluded. �They have even brought in different schools outside the District to show the newly equipped classrooms and how they are using the technology.�
