T
he Crown PIP-USP3/CN is a 3rd generation DSP-based PIP™
(Programmable Input Processor) input module for PIP2 compatible
amplifiers.* It connects the amplifier to a 100 Mb Ethernet network allow-
ing it to be remotely controlled and monitored. In addition, the USP3/CN
allows the transport of real-time digital audio via CobraNet™ over the same
Ethernet network.
The USP3/CN connects to the audio control/monitor network using standard
100 Mb Ethernet hardware (switches, Network Interface Cards, and cables).
CobraNet™ audio is available over the same 100 Mb Ethernet network, pro-
viding a simple to install, single plug solution for audio distribution, control,
and monitoring.
The USP3/CN’s SHARC DSP processor gives the user an enormous amount
of digital signal processing. Audio routing, faders, meters, polarity & mute,
input compressors, filters, delays, multimode output limiters, error report-
ing, and load monitoring are all available. A built-in noise generator and sine-
wave generator provide noise masking and test capabilities. The enhanced
AUX port capability allows the user to interface with the amplifier to provide
external manual control and monitoring.
• 100 Mb Ethernet single-plug
solution for both CobraNet™
audio and networked control
and monitoring.
• Analog audio inputs allow
audio input to the CobraNet™
network, CobraNet™ audio
redundancy, or a hardwire
emergency override of
CobraNet™ audio.
• Listen Bus amplifier output
monitor via CobraNet™.
• 24 bit digital to analog
conversion with 32 bit, floating
point DSP processing.
• 64 assignable filters with 9
different filter types including
all-pass filters.
• Over 2 seconds of delay
available per channel.
• Input compressors and output
limiters for each channel.
• Dual, uncorrelated noise
generators for noise masking.
• Sine-wave generator.
• Load supervision.
• Full error reporting.
• Firmware upgrades via the
network.
• 10 user selectable presets.
• Reliable FLASH memory
backup of all parameters.

T
he Crown PIP LITE is a PIP (Programmable Input Processor) input
module for PIP2 compatible amplifiers. The PIP-LITE connects to an
audio control network via 100 Mb Ethernet. The audio path in the PIP LITE
is processed totally in the analog domain. The SmartAmp™ feature set offers
a range of automation functions which provide greater control over amplifier
operation and helps to save both time and money.
