DSi SERIES
The Crown®DSi 8M is a projection booth monitor designed
to work with bi-amplified cinema systems using the Crown
DSi Series amplifiers. All controls necessary for daily operation
of the DSi 8M are easily accessible on the front panel. 8-channel
monitoring allows you to monitor either the processor or the
power amplifier’s outputs: L,C, R, Ls, Rs, Bsl, Bsr, and Sub in
any combination.
Input levels from the processor and power amplifier can be
adjusted independently. There are no huge level jumps when
switching between processor and power amplifiers. The
bargraph display can be calibrated to the reference level for your
theater. The projectionist can see auditorium levels instantly.
