1 Welcome
Thank you for purchasing the
Crown
®
P.I.P.-FMX accessory.
P.I.P.
®
modules are designed to
quickly install in the rear panel of
many Crown amplifiers. P.I.P.
stands for “Programmable Input
Processor.” Their versatile fea-
tures expand the capabilities of
your amplifier and enable you to
customize it for your particular
needs.
FMX means Female and Male
XLRs to signify that the unit uses
female and male XLR connectors
for “daisy chain” input/output.
Features
❏ 3-pin female XLR connectors
are provided for input.
❏ 3-pin male XLR connectors are
provided for daisy chaining the
input to other amplifiers.
❏ Male or female connectors can
be used for input or daisy
chaining since they are wired in
parallel.
❏ The ¼-inch phone jack inputs
can also be used for daisy
chaining other amplifiers
equipped with ¼-inch inputs
(such as the Macro-Tech
®
se-
ries).
❏ The XLR connectors are wired
with pin 1 as the signal ground
(shield), pin 2 as a noninverted
input (+), and pin 3 as an in-
verted input (–).
