`PIP MODULES
PIP-3632, PIP-4622, PIP-4632, PIP-USL
For use with JBL ScreenArray Cinema Speaker System
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.
The PIP-USL module is designed to integrate Crown amplifiers into audio sys-
tems installed in cinemas, studio production and post-production environ-
ments.
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-compatible 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 compatibility 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 channels, or bi-amp signals for
screen channels, from the cinema processor.

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 equaliza-
tion and filter-assisted B6 vented bass box equalization. Bi-amping and tri-amp-
ing capabilities are provided via XLR connectors.
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 cir-
cuit to prevent an overload. It can yield up to 13 dB of additional signal safety
margin without noticeable program change.
P.I.P.-EDCb. 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.-RPA. A phantom-powered mixer that has four balanced mic or line
inputs wit voiceover capability, adjustable “duck” level, and 84 dB of attenua-
tion. 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. This module has the same features as the P.I.P.-RPA but includes
four input transformers.

(programmable input processor) modules open up a com-
pletely new realm of capability for Macro-Tech and Studio Reference
amplifiers. Simply plug into the rear-mounted PIP connector of these
amplifiers. They provide a cost-effective, convenient alternative to out-
board processors or inferior systems that can compromise performance.
A wide assortment of PIP modules are available.
