5.2.4 Input Sensitivity Switches
To access the Input Sensitivity Switches, turn off the amplifier and remove the
PIP2-BBY Input Panel. The switches are in the top surface of the cavity behind the
Input Panel. One 3-position switch per channel selects among these settings: CTs
600/1200: 1.4V (8/4 ohms), 26 dB gain, and 1.4V (70V operation). CTs 2000/
3000: 1.4V (8/4 ohms), 26 dB gain, and 1.4V (70V) / 2V (100V). The Specifications
chapter lists the input sensitivity for the 26 dB gain setting.
5.3 Options
T-170V: See Figure 5.3. This is an autoformer that
allows 100V output from the CTs 600/1200, and
allows other amplifiers without direct constant voltage
output to be easily integrated into distributed systems.
TP-170V: See Figure 5.4. This is a rack-mountable
panel with four autoformers as described above.
PIP Modules
Versatile PIP (Programmable Input Processor) mod-
ules provide flexible expansion features that can be
added to customize the amplifier. PIP modules plug
into the connector inside the back panel of the ampli-
fier. PIP modules are available with features ranging
from error-driven compressor/limiters to crossovers to
IQ control. Your amplifier is a PIP2 amplifier, which
means it can take advantage of the many advanced fea-
tures found in PIP2 modules. The CTs Series 2-chan-
nel models do not accept earlier PIP modules.

contact Crown Customer Service, for descriptions of
available PIP and PIP2 modules.
