The Crown CDi 1000 is a power amplifier meant for installed sound applications, such as front of house audio for clubs, churches, and other meeting halls, and studio monitors. In addition to its 1400 watts of maximum power in bridged mono mode, the CDi 1000 is also capable of producing up to 700 watts of power in stereo operation, with 2 ohm speakers.

Using digital signal processing (DSP) technology, the CDi 1000 is able to modify the tone that it produces in a number of different ways, by adding equalization, limiting, crossovers, and delay, allowing you to dial in the perfect tone for your venue or studio and leave it there. The CDi 1000 is also HiQnet compatible, allowing it to interface directly with a computer, which enables owners to drill down even further in customizing their own presets. HiQnet also allows the CDi 1000 to communicate directly with the other devices in your studio, and vice versa. In all, the CDi 1000 is capable of storing up to 20 user defined DSP presets, or if desired, DSP can be disabled completely.

Along with providing studio quality sound for any conceivable permanent installation, the CDi 1000 is equipped with industry leading fault protection mechanisms enabling the amplifier to quickly shut down, before damage occurs, in the event of overheating or electrical problems. Although the CDi 1000's variable speed fan cooling system is sufficient to keep the amplifier running properly as long as it is installed in the proper rackmount configuration, even the fans would fail to cool the system if the vents were not kept open. Protective mechanisms such as these ensure that the amplifier will not be damaged even in the event of user error. However, if anything does happen, the CDi 1000 is protected by a three year no fault warranty, guaranteeing that the unit will be repaired or replaced in the event of damage, even if the owner is to blame.
