1 Welcome

Thank you for purchasing a Crown® IQ mixer/multi- plexer. IQ mixer/multiplexers are intelligent mixers with special signal routing capabilities. Their intelligence stems from a powerful onboard microprocessor which enables them to be controlled by a Crown IQ System®. Each input and output can be individually controlled and, with their distributed intelligence™ capability, con- tinue to operate even when an IQ System is not con- nected.

In addition to two main outputs (one for each channel), each model has a second set of “bus” outputs which are switched on and off by a relay. This enables many mixer/multiplexers to be connected to a common au- dio bus without loading it down. They are designed to work as stand-alone units in a small audio system, or as modules in a large audio system.

Two models are available to serve different needs. The IQ–SMX-6™model operates as a 6x2 mixer. The IQ– AMB-5™can operate as a 5x1 mixer. Multiple units can be connected together to form larger mixers. For ex- ample, two IQ–SMX-6 mixers can be connected to- gether to form a single 12x2 mixer.

The IQ–SMX-6 provides basic mixing capabilities, as well as automatic signal processing. A sensing circuit is located at the beginning of each input to sense the input signal level ahead of any signal processing. Simi- lar sensors, along with its onboard intelligence, enable the IQ–SMX-6 to perform many versatile functions like automatic mixing, compression, and automatic level control.

The IQ–AMB-5 has the same functions as an IQ–SMX- 6 plus it has the ability to sense ambient sound level and automatically adjust its output level accordingly. In this way it serves as the ultimate automatic level con- troller. Input 6 is dedicated as the sensing input, leav- ing 5 inputs to function normally as a 5x2 mixer. Unlike the IQ–SMX-6, signal processing is only available for Channel 1. Channel 2 functions as a manual mixer.
