Dynacord C1800FDi 1800W 2-Channel DSP Power Amplifier 2Ω / 4Ω / 8Ω / 70V
The Dynacord C1800FDi is a professional 1800W 2-Channel DSP Power Amplifier with FIR Drive technology, 31-band GEQ, 10-band PEQ, 70V direct drive, GPIO control and full SONICUE software integration — stepping up from the C1300FDi with greater output power for more demanding permanent installation applications in bars, restaurants, houses of worship, sports facilities and performing arts centres.
The Dynacord C1800FDi is a two-channel 1800W DSP power amplifier designed specifically for permanent installation applications requiring greater output power than the C1300FDi provides — delivering background or live music in venues including bars, churches, restaurants, sports facilities and performing arts centres with the same rock-solid German engineering, comprehensive DSP processing and professional-grade reliability that defines the C Series range.
Built on an extremely robust power supply and powerful Class AB amplifier design, the C1800FDi guarantees flawless operation even in the most demanding environments, with sophisticated protection circuitry ensuring safe and reliable operation under all conditions.
FIR Drive & SONICUE DSP Processing
The C1800FDi is equipped with the same comprehensive onboard DSP platform as the rest of the C Series. FIR Drive technology optimises original factory loudspeaker settings for a level of acoustic performance typically reserved for tour-grade amplifiers. Under SONICUE Sound System Software, the C1800FDi's DSP capabilities are further elevated with 10-band parametric EQ per channel, a dedicated array processing section, 31-band graphic EQ per channel, output delay per channel, FIR filters, audio limiters and load impedance monitoring — providing a fully integrated professional speaker processing platform accessible from an intuitive software interface. A front-panel LC display allows local control and supervision without a connected PC.
Exceptional Power Output & Impedance Flexibility
The C1800FDi delivers up to 850W per channel into 4 Ohm in dual-channel mode (1400W into 2 Ohm), with bridged mono operation providing up to 2800W into 4 Ohm or 1700W into 8 Ohm for demanding single-zone high-output applications. Engineered for constant stability at 2 Ohms for both channels simultaneously, the C1800FDi handles the most demanding loudspeaker loads with confidence. 70V high-impedance direct drive operation supports 2 x 1250W in dual-channel mode or 1 x 600W in bridged mode, with 100V operation available in bridged mode at 1 x 1250W — providing comprehensive flexibility across a wide range of distributed and direct-drive installation scenarios.
Connectivity & Control
The C1800FDi features Euroblock connectors for convenient professional installation wiring, remote GPIO control via floating relay contacts for integration with third-party control systems, selectable preset selection inputs, remote power-on delay and full SONICUE network control and supervision. The efficient standby power mode reduces running costs and power consumption by up to 90% compared to standard operating power — delivering a very low total cost of ownership for permanent installation applications.
