The Crown DSi 8Mn is a professional projection‑booth monitor designed for cinema installations and digital theatre systems. It enables operators to monitor both processor and amplifier outputs — offering independent level control and real‑time insight into system performance.
All inputs and outputs are fully balanced, ensuring clean interfacing with modern amplifiers and processors. The unit’s bar graph display can be calibrated to standard cinema reference levels, giving projectionists accurate visual feedback of auditorium audio levels for reliable monitoring.
Connectivity includes Phoenix and HD‑15 connectors for audio I/O, and an Ethernet RJ45 port for remote monitoring and audio streaming to server rooms or network operations centres. It supports bi‑amp systems and can monitor up to four subwoofers, making it a comprehensive solution for modern cinema systems.
The DSi 8Mn is powered by a universal supply (100–240 V, 50/60 Hz) and consumes approximately 32 W. Its compact dimensions (16.9″ × 10.4″ × 3.4″ / 42.9 cm × 26.3 cm × 8.6 cm) and lightweight design (9.6 lb / 4.4 kg) make it practical for installation within constrained projection booth spaces.
Whether used to verify output levels, monitor critical channels, or support remote control operations, the Crown DSi 8Mn is a robust tool for cinema audio professionals seeking transparent and accurate system monitoring.
