Macro-Tech ® 24x6 & 36x12 Power Amplifiers
P.I.P.-BEQC adds many features of the Bose
to the input of your amplifier. Each channel includes a cus-
tom equalization network for Bose loudspeakers. Also in-
cluded is a bass-cut (high-pass) filter for each channel.
The equalization and bass-cut filters can be bypassed, if
desired. Balanced inputs and "daisy-chain" outputs use
removable barrier block connectors for quick, solderless
connections.
P.I.P.-BEQX Same as P.I.P.-BEQC but with XLR connec-
tors.

P.I.P.-BP1C The P.I.P.-BP1C is a versatile, stereo band-pass
processor that plugs into any PIP-capable Crown amplifier.
Each channel of the P.I.P.-BP1C is completely independent
from the other and combines the functions of a low-pass
filter, a high-pass filter, vented loudspeaker box equaliza-
tion, horn equalization and compression. DIP switches and
convenient jumper blocks make it easy to configure any of
its powerful operating features. Uses removable barrier
block, quick-disconnect connectors.
P.I.P.-BP1X Same as the P.I.P.-BP1C but with XLR connec-
tors.
P.I.P.-CLP is designed to detect and prevent overload. The
same error detecting circuit that is used to signal the IOC
indicator is used to activate this error-driven compressor. It
is not a typical signal-driven compressor, but a circuit to
prevent any overload. It can yield up to 13 dB or additional
signal safety margin without noticeable program change.
P.I.P.-EDCb State-of-the-art programmable error-driven and
signal-driven compressor plus a variable high-pass filter
for each channel. Fast or slow attach and release times
can be set independently for each channel.

P.I.P.-FXT uses balanced 1:1 transformers to isolate the
source from the inputs. It comes with balanced female 3-
pin XLR connectors.
P.I.P.-FMX facilitates "daisy-chaining" several amplifier bal-
anced inputs together. Female to Male 3-pin XLR connec-
tors are used to passively bridge the amplifier inputs.

P.I.P.-PA permits the unique capability of adding one mic/
line input directly to each channel of an amplifier. With phan-
tom power for microphones, this mic/line input may be re-
motely switched from mic to line priorities.
P.I.P.-RPA A phantom-power mixer that has four balanced
mic or line inputs with voiceover capability and adjustable
"duck" level, 84 dB of attenuation. A 10-volt DC source for
remote control capability is provided. The P.I.P.-EXT (Part
M44731-4), available from service, allows the P.I.P.-RPA and
other PIP cards to be "extended" outside the amplifier for
easy set up.
P.I.P.-RPAT has the same features as the P.I.P.-RPA but in-
cludes four input transformers.
P.I.P.-XOV is a versatile, economical mono 12- or 18-dB/
octave crossover/filter which offers bi-amping and tri-amping
capability.

velopment, contact your local dealer or Crown's Techni-
cal Support Group.
