Crown Audio IQ-PIP-LITE プリント

**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.

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.

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.

 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.

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.
