5.3.1 PIP and PIP2 Modules
Versatile PIP (Programmable Input Processor)
modules provide flexible expansion features
that can be added to customize the amplifier.
PIP modules plug into the connector inside the
back panel of the amplifier. PIP modules are
available with a features ranging from error-
driven compressor/limiters 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, as well as all
standard PIP modules. Visit the Crown website
at www.crownaudio.com, or contact Crown
Customer Service, for descriptions of available
PIP and PIP2 modules.
The modules install easily: For PIP units featur-
ing an edge-connector, first attach the ampli-
fier’s ribbon cables to the PIP2 adapter as in
Figure 5.1. Then carefully slide the PIP card
edge into the adapter's edge connector (Figure
5.2). Finally, insert the combined units into the
amplifier and screw securely into place (Figure
5.2).
