PIP-USP3 is a DSP-based PIP module that integrates into a 100-Mb Ethernet network via TCP/IQ protocol. An extremely versatile speaker-processing unit that mounts right in your Crown amplifier, this compact module greatly reduces the costs of typical audio systems while eliminating the rack space needed for signal processing. Offers up to thirty-two filters per channel as well as load supervision that continuously monitors the load impedance using the signal source as the test signal. Also includes compressors, limiters, error reporting, ten internal presets, up to 2 seconds of delay per channel, and noise and sine-wave generators. Also includes line voltage monitoring when installed in Crown CTs series amplifiers. Requires FREE IQwic Software and a computer for initial setup.
