IQ-PIP-LITE

ULTRA SERIES

**Important: Some of the ﬁ rst generation Com-

Tech Series and Macro-Reference ampliﬁ ers have

soldered 16-pin ribbon and 5-pin signal cable con-

nections, rather than the modular type. If you

ﬁ nd that your original Com-Tech Series or Macro-

Reference ampliﬁ er has the soldered type cable

connections, contact the Crown Technical Support

Group for installation instructions.

***Important: Some newer MA-5000VZ ampliﬁ ers

are already PIP2-compatible and can accept the

IQ-PIP-LITE directly. Older MA-5000VZ ampliﬁ ers

are not PIP2-compatible. Those ampliﬁ ers have

soldered 16-pin ribbon and 5-pin signal connec-

tions, rather than the modular type. If you ﬁ nd that

your MA-5000VZ ampliﬁ er has the soldered type

cable connections, contact the Crown Technical

Support Group for installation instructions.

Important: The IQ-PIP-USP2 Adapter is designed

for use with the IQ-PIP-USP2 module and IQ-PIP-

LITE ONLY, and will NOT work with the IQ-PIP-

USP2/CN or any other PIP module.

Speciﬁ cations

General

Connectors: See Figure 1 on other side.

Network: RJ-45 connector forming an IEEE 802.3

Ethernet NIC connection.

AUX: RJ-11.

Channel 1 and Channel 2 balanced inputs: 3-pin,

5mm removable barrier blocks.

Indicators: A yellow DATA indicator ﬂ ashes when

the IQ-PIP-LITE receives a valid command that is

addressed to the IQ-PIP-LITE. A green PRESET

indicator ﬂ ashes to indicate the selected and active

user preset. A yellow LINK ACT indicator (inte-

grated in the network connector) indicates a valid

Ethernet link when lit and the presence of Ethernet

trafﬁ c when ﬂ ashing. A green 100 MB indicator

(integrated in the network connector) indicates a

valid 100 Megabit connection.

Memory Backup: 4 Megabit nonvolatile FLASH

memory for backup of run-time settings, presets,

and program storage. Capable of 10,000 write

cycles.

Power Requirements: No external power is

required. 160 mA at +24 VDC and 50 mA at –24

VDC. When installed into a Crown PIP2 compatible

ampliﬁ er, the unit receives ± 24 VDC from the

ampliﬁ er.

Total Power Dissipation: 4.6 watts.

Audio

Please note: The audio speciﬁ cations are refer-

enced to 0.775 V (0 dBu). Measurements were

made at the output of the IQ-PIP-LITE module

itself.

Input Impedance: Normally 20 kilohms balanced

and 10 kilohms unbalanced.

Maximum Input Level: +20 dBu.

Dynamic Range: >110 dB (A-weighted, 20 Hz to

20 kHz).

Frequency Response: ±0.5 dB from 20 Hz to 20

kHz.

Common Mode Rejection (CMR): 50 dB typi-

cal.

Total Harmonic Distortion + Noise (THD+N):

< 0.05% (1 kHz, 0 dBu).

Data Acquisition: Eight channel, 12 bit Analog

to Digital Converter running at 100 K samples

per second.

Input/Output Monitor Accuracy: Typically ±1 dB.

Warranty completely protects your invest-

ment and guarantees its speciﬁ cations

he Crown

IQ-PIP-LITE is a PIP™ (Program-

mable Input Processor) input module for

PIP2™ compatible ampliﬁ ers.* It connects

the ampliﬁ er to a 100 Mb Ethernet network allow-

ing it to be remotely controlled and monitored via

System Architect or IQwic software.

The IQ-PIP-LITE is a HiQnet or TCP/IQ series

component. This means it connects to a HiQNet

system or IQ Network via 100 Mb Ethernet. This

provides faster IQ communications than the previ-

ous current loop, IQ bus, connectivity method.

With HiQnet or TCP/IQ, a large (or small) system

can be interconnected using standard off-the-shelf

100 Mb Ethernet components (Switches, Network

Interface Card, and cables). The IQ-PIP-LITE can

also be connected to the same network used to

pass CobraNet™ audio.

The audio path in the IQ-PIP-LITE is processed

totally in the analog domain without the inherent

noise induced by analog-to-digital conversions.

While DSP-type functions cannot be supported

with this type of architecture, the standard Smart-

Amp™ feature set is. These features include input

compressors, multimode output limiters, error

reporting and load monitoring.

The IQ-PIP-LITE requires System Architect Soft-

ware available from www.harmanpro.com or IQwic

software available from www.iqaudiosystems.com.

Using the IQ-PIP-LITE with the IQ-PIP-USP2

Adapter

The IQ-PIP-USP2 Adapter allows many older

Crown PIP-compatible ampliﬁ ers (i.e., Macro-

Tech

00 Series, Com-Tech 00 Series, and Studio

Reference Series ampliﬁ ers) to access the power

and versatility of the Crown IQ-PIP-LITE module.

The IQ-PIP-USP2 Adapter can be installed into the

following Crown ampliﬁ er models:

CT-200**, CT-400**, CT-800**, CT-1600**

MA-600, MA-1200, MA-2400

MA-3600VZ, MA-5000VZ***

MA-24x6, MA-36x12

Macro Reference**

Studio Reference I

Studio Reference II

For more details about the IQ-PIP-LITE, contact

the Crown Technical Support Group at

800-342-6939 or 574-294-8200. Also, visit the

Crown Audio website at www.crownaudio.com.

*A PIP2™-compatible ampliﬁ er is necessary to

use the IQ-PIP-LITE. To determine if the ampliﬁ er

is PIP2 compatible, look for the logo on

the back of the ampliﬁ er. The IQ-PIP-LITE is NOT

compatible with older Crown PIP ampliﬁ ers unless

a USP2 adapter is ﬁ rst installed in the ampliﬁ er.

1 Note that the IQ-PIP-LITE cannot receive or

transmit CobraNet audio. Plese use the IQ-PIP-

USP3/CN if this function is desired.
