JBL’s first line of dedicated cinema amplifiers, the DSi 2.0 family builds on Crown DSI Digital Screen Array amplifier technology, integrating best-in-class DSP from Crown’s flagship CDi DriveCore series to deliver potent, cost-effective amplification for JBL’s entire range of cinema loudspeakers. ‘D’ versions feature Dante/AES67 connectivity.

DSi 2.0 amplifiers are power-matched to JBL cinema speakers, for a single JBL cinema solution. D-models interface with Dolby Atmos directly, without the need for additional processing hardware. JBL Cinema Speaker presets simplify configuration, optimise playback audio and protect against equipment damage. All DSi 2.0 amplifiers feature SNMP connectivity for immersive installations and direct interfacing with third-party theatre-management and cinema-control systems.

Models supply four channels of amplification with bridgeable outputs in a single 2U-high footprint, and can power up to four JBL surround speakers with a single amplifier channel in high-power-density 2Ω mode. All DSi 2.0 series amplifiers incorporate 32-bit/96kHz floating-point DSP and Crown DriveCore technology, which replaces hundreds of internal components with a single processing chip for superior power density, stability and audio fidelity.

Key features:

• Each amp offers four channels with bridgeable outputs.
• High power output at 2Ω (SA and MA models), for up to four surround speakers on a single channel.
• All models feature HiQnet, SNMP and Ethernet; SA4-D, MA4-D and LA4-D · models add Dante/AES67.
• D-models interface with Dolby Atmos directly.
• 96kHz/32-bit floating-point processing.
• FIR filtering, LevelMax limiting, 8-channel parametric EQ, delay.
• Integrated Crown DriveCore technology.
• Cinema Speaker presets match JBL cinema loudspeakers.
• Amps are power-matched to JBL cinema speakers.
• Front-panel LCD and encoder interface.
• GPIO/AUX port.

There are three Si Series amplifiers available: the SA4/SA4-D (4 channels) offering 350W (8Ω)/600 (4Ω)/900W (2Ω)/1.1kW (8Ω bridged)/1.8kW (4Ω bridged); the MA4/MA4-D (4 channels) offering 700W (8Ω)/1.2kW (4Ω)/1.9kW (2Ω)/2.4kW (8Ω bridged)/3.8kW (4Ω bridged); and the LA4/LA4-D (4 channels) offering 1.2kW (8Ω)/2kW (4Ω)/1kW (2Ω)/4kW (8Ω bridged)/2kW (4Ω bridged).
