7 Signal Processing
This section describes the
IQ-PIP-USP2/CN DSP signal pro-
cessing features. These features
are accessed via IQ for Windows
software. Please refer to the IQ for
Windows documentation if you are
unfamiliar with IQ software.
7.1 Signal Processing
Forms
Many of the advanced features of
the IQ-PIP-USP2/CN are accessed
from the IQ for Windows software
Signal Path panel.* This special fea-
ture allows the audio signal to be
processed and routed according to
three available “form” specifications:
2x2 Dual Processor, 1x2 Cross-
over/Processor + EQ
, and AMCb+ .
When a new form type is selected,
the required signal processing
blocks are automatically arranged
to fit the scheme of the selected
form. The result is a preset “tem-
plate” for signal processing that
makes it faster and easier for you to
tailor your system to your specific
needs.
7.1.1 2x2 Dual Processor
2x2 Dual Processor is the default
form configuration, and provides true
stereo signal processing, with all
signal processing options available
on both channels.
* For more information about the struc-
ture of the forms environment within IQ
for Windows, consult the documenta-
tion and help files which accompany
the software. * For more information about the
PIP -AMCb, consult the PIP -AMCb Ref-
erence Manual, or contact Crown
Technical Support.
7.1.2 1x2 Crossover/
Processor + EQ
The 1x2 Crossover/Processor + EQ
form provides
Auto Standby , Input
Compression Limiter , Crossover ,
and DSP Filter Processing options
on the signal for Channel 1 only, The
signal is then routed to the Channel
1 and Channel 2 signal processing
blocks for further processing and
routing to the amplifier.
7.1.3 AMCb+
The AMCb+ form mimics the func-
tion of Crown’s PIP -AMCb.* The sig-
nal is routed only to Channel 1 for
DSP crossover, then the signal is
routed to the Channel 1 and Chan-
nel 2 signal processing blocks for
further processing and routing to
the amplifier. In the
AMCb form,
Box EQ is specified for Channel 1,
and CD Horn EQ is specified for
Channel 2.
7.2 Signal Routing
Using IQ for Windows software, you
can choose either or both Channel 1
and Channel 2 inputs to drive the
processing path for each channel of
the IQ-PIP-USP2/CN. You can also
route the output of either processing
channel to Channel 1 or Channel 2
amplifier inputs.
7.3 Input Signal
Attenuator
An attenuator at the input of each
channel is used to control the input
