5.3.1 PIP and PIP2 Modules

Versatile PIP (Programmable Input Processor) modules provide flexible expansion features that can be added to customize the amplifier. PIP modules plug into the connector inside the back panel of the amplifier. PIP modules are available with a features ranging from error- driven compressor/limiters to remote control and monitoring via IQwic or System Architect. Your amplifier is a PIP2 amplifier, which means it can take advantage of the many advanced fea- tures found in PIP2 modules, as well as all standard PIP modules. Visit the Crown website at www.crownaudio.com, or contact Crown Customer Service, for descriptions of available PIP and PIP2 modules.

The modules install easily: For PIP units featur- ing an edge-connector, first attach the ampli- fier’s ribbon cables to the PIP2 adapter as in Figure 5.1. Then carefully slide the PIP card edge into the adapter's edge connector (Figure 5.2). Finally, insert the combined units into the amplifier and screw securely into place (Figure 5.2).
