P.I.P
®
.-AMCb Provides both a variable 4th-order Linkwitz-Riley
crossover and an IOC-driven or variable-threshold signal-driven compressor.
In addition, variable equalization networks provide for “constant-directivity”
horn equalization and filter-assisted B6 vented bass box equalization. Bi-
amping and tri-amping capabilities are provided via XLR connectors.
For use with JBL ScreenArray Cinema Speaker
Systems
Crown ScreenArray PIP modules are custom two-channel
crossover networks with equalization specifically designed for
use with JBL
®
ScreenArray cinema speaker systems
installed in cinemas, studio production and post-production
environments.
The PIP-4622 is designed for use with the model 4622
ScreenArray system, the PIP-3632 is designed for use with
the model 3632 ScreenArray system, and the PIP-4632 is
designed for use with the model 4632 ScreenArray system.
SYSTEM SOLUTIONS — PIP Modules
P.I.P.-EDCbb State-of-the-art programmable error-driven and signal-
driven compressor plus a variable high-pass filter for each channel. Fast or
slow attack and release times can be set independently for each channel.
P.I.P.-CLP is designed to detect and prevent overload. The same error
detecting circuit that is used to signal the IOC indicator is used to activate
this error-driven compressor. It is not a typical signal-driven compressor
but a circuit to prevent any overload. It can yield up to 13 dB of additional
signal safety margin without noticeable program change.
P.I.P.-RPA A phantom-powered mixer that has four balanced mic or line
inputs with voiceover capability, adjustable “duck” level, and 84 dB of attenu-
ation. A 10-volt DC source for remote control capability is provided. The PIP-
EXT (Part M44731-4), available from service, allows the PIP-RPA and other
PIP cards to be “extended” outside the amplifier for easy set up.
P.I.P.-RPAT has the same features as the P.I.P.-RPA but includes four in-
put transformers.
PIP-3632, PIP-4622, PIP-4632, PIP-USL
The PIP-USL module is designed to integrate Crown
amplifiers into audio systems installed in cinemas, studio
production and post-production environments.
The ScreenArray PIP modules and PIP-USL install into the
back of Crown PIP2-compatible amplifiers, saving rack space
and simplifying system wiring. You must have a PIP2-com-
patible amplifier to use the ScreenArray PIP modules. To
determine if your amplifier is PIP2-compatible, look for the
logo on the back of the amplifier or refer to the com-
patibility chart at the end of the System Solutions section.
The HD15 connector provided on all of these PIP modules is designed
for quick and easy interface with popular cinema monitor products such
as the USL CM-680. Accepts signal for surround or subwoofer chan-
nels, or bi-amp signals for screen channels, from the cinema proces-
sor.
