IQ–MSD Turbo 1.4 Advanced IQ System Software
IQ System A computerized system that uses the IQ command protocol developed by Crown to control and
monitor the various functions of your audio system.
LED A graphic object that serves as an on/off indicator and functions like a typical indicator lamp or LED (Light
Emitting Diode).
Limiter A function that prevents an audio signal from rising above a Threshold setting. The Input and Output
Compressor/Limiter functions will behave like limiters when their Ratio controls are set to :1. See Compressor
and Ratio also.
Line Object A line-drawing tool used for aesthetic design of a graphics plate.
Link An IQ P.I.P. "multi-link" control that connects the controls of two or more amplifiers together so they can be
controlled as a unit. Changing a control of one linked amplifier will cause similar changes to be immediately made
to the other amplifiers in the same link group. There are up to 100 different link channels, allowing many
independent link groups to be created.
Load To read a dataframe file from a hard disk or diskette. Normally, a dataframe is also engaged immediately
after it is loaded into the host computer's memory.
L An IQ P.I.P. control that Locks the two channels of a single amplifier together so that changes to one channel will
be immediately mirrored by the other channel.
Low Set A Gate function parameter that determines the gain setting when an input gate is closed.
Matrixer An IQ-controlled routing matrix for audio, digital and DC signals. Several models are available. They
require an IQ–CAG card cage and IQ–LPS power supply.
Max Gain A Gate function parameter that sets the maximum possible gain for an input.
Max Gain To Track Control Block A sub-block control of an SMX-6 or AMB-5 mixer that causes the
Max Gain parameters of the Gate function to be set equal to the input gain settings in the control block. It is used in
conjunction with the Control Block Override control.
Mini Plate A specialized Container object that serves as a popup panel on a graphics plate to display controls,
messages or help. See container also.
Mixer, IQ Mixer An IQ-controlled audio mixer with 5-6 mic/line inputs and 2 output channels. In addition to
main outputs, each output channel also has an IQ-controlled switchable bus output, giving mixers the ability to
connect to large paging buses without being loaded down. Some models also include advanced functions for fully
automated operation. See AMB-5, MPX-6 and SMX-6 also.
MPX-6 (IQ–MPX-6) A mixer with 6 mic/line inputs and two separate output channels. It provides basic IQ-
controlled mixing and signal routing capabilities.
MRX-24, MRX-24S, MRX-12, MRX-12S (IQ–MRX-##) Matrixers with IQ-controlled relays for rout-
ing mic, line, loudspeaker, digital and DC signals. Master and slave (S) models are available. The MRX-24 and
MRX-24S have 24 pairs of low-current double-pole, single-throw (DPST) relays grouped into four 6x1 matrices.
