2 Controls,Connectors
& Setup
A/B. Connectors
Balanced 3-pin XLR or quick-disconnect removable barrier block connectors are provided for the inputs and
outputs. The
with XLR Jacks: a female XLR for the
input connector and a male XLR for
the daisy chain output. These connectors are wired for pin 2 = Hot. The
P.I.P.-BP1C
connect removable barrier block connectors; mating connectors are
supplied to allow the user to quickly
disconnect an input or output and
move it to the other channel. These
connectors are wired pin1=Hot. (See
Section 3 for input and output wiring
examples.)
C. Low-Pass Filter DIP Switches
The input signal is processed first by a
4th-order (24-dB/octave) low-pass
filter network with a Butterworth response characteristic. Four eight-segment DIP switches (S100,S101,S102
and S103 for channel 1),(S200,S201,
S202 and S203 for channel 2) select
the low-pass filter frequency at which
the output is –3-dB down from the input. (See Figure 2.2 for a complete
table of frequencies and settings and
Figure 2.3 for sample frequency-response graphs.) Note that all four DIP
switches must use the same settings
for the response to be correct. These
DIP switches are factory-set to 20 kHz.
D. High-Pass Filter DIP
Switches
The signal is processed next by a 4thorder (24-dB/octave) high-pass filter
network with a Butterworth response
characteristic. Four eight-segment DIP
switches(S104,S105,S106 and S107
P.I.P.-BP1X
is supplied with quick-dis-
is supplied
for Channel 1), (S204,S205,S206 and
S207 for Channel 2) select the high
pass filter frequency at which the output is –3-dB down from the input. (See
Figure 2.2 for a complete table of frequencies and settings and Figure 2.4
for sample frequency-response
graphs.) Note that all four DIP switches
must use the same settings for the response to be correct. These DIP
switches are factory-set to 23 Hz.
E. Low-Frequency Equalization
DIP Switches
Following the high-pass filter is a 6thorder loudspeaker equalization feature. A ten-segment DIP switch (S108
for Channel 1); (S208 for Channel 2)
sets the +6 dB boost frequency of the
vented-box equalization filter. Note:
(Switch 7 is not active and can be set
to either the“ON”or“OFF’) position. This
feature is used for loudspeakers that
have been designed as a 6th-order
system and require 2nd-order equalization to achieve optimum performance. The filter uses the Sallen-Key
non-inverting second-order high-pass
topology. The loudspeaker manufacturer determines the frequency to
which this filter should be set. Low-Frequency Equalizaion is factory-set to
Flat (Figure 2.5 shows a complete listing of equalization points and the corresponding switch positions; Figure
2.6 shows typical response curves for
the filter).
F. Constant-Directivity Horn
Equalization DIP Switches
This ten-segment DIP Switch (S109 for
Channel 1) ); (S209 for Channel 2) sets
both the +3-dB shelving frequency
and the –3-dB low-pass roll-off frequency of the constant-directivity horn
equalization filter. Constant-directivity
horns have an inherent roll-off in their
Reference Manual
Page 5
Page 6
P.I.P .–BP1X & P.I.P.–BP1C
response that must be corrected electronically by this filter. The actual response is determined by the
combination of a stage of first-order
boost (controlled by switches 8, 9, and
10) and a stage of second-order highfrequency roll off (controlled by
switches 1-6),
Note: switch 7 is not active and can be
set at either the“ON” or“OFF”position.
The loudspeaker manufacturer determines the frequencies to which these
switches should be set. Constant-Directivity Horn Equalizaion is factoryset to Flat. Refer to Figure 2.7a for
–3-dB low pass roll-off frequency settings and corresponding switch positions. Refer to Figure 2.7a for +3-dB
shelving frequency settings and corresponding switch positions. Figure
2.8 shows sample response curves.
G. Compressor Threshold
Potentiometer
The compressor occurs in the signal
path after the filters and equalizers. A
variable-threshold signal-driven compressor is provided and by default is
ON and is error driven. With errordriven compression, the compressor
will activate if the amplifier clips, regardless of the output signal. Errordriven compression is useful when the
possibility of over-driving the amplifier
by several dB is present and the resulting distortion is unacceptable.
Reducing the output voltage at which
the compressor will activate is useful
for applications where driver and/or
system protection is desired. Compression will then limit the output voltage to a predetermined level, even as
the input to the amplifier is increased.
Attack time is 10 msec and release
time is 360 msec. The compressor
has an infinite compression ratio,
meaning that when the threshold is
Page 6
reached, an increase in input level will
not result in a change in output level.
The range of compression is 16 dB. If
the input is driven more than 16 dB
over the threshold, the portion of the
signal over 16 dB will be passed linearly. At that point, the next limit to
output will be amplifier clipping. (See
Figure 2.9 for a table of potentiometer
settings and the corresponding voltage and power outputs from the amplifier.)
H. Compressor Control
This two-position jumper block controls the feedback path that will drive
the compressors. The compressor in
a certain channel can be controlled by
the error amplifier of that channel, the
error amplifier of the other channel, or
neither (compressor turned off). When
the compressor is turned off, no amplifier condition, whether it is high output
voltage or clipping, will cause the compressor to activate. To tur n the compressor off, place the jumper on only
one pin of the jumper block.
I. Daisy Output Jumpers
These two-position jumpers are used
to select between sending the processed signal (NORM) and the unprocessed signal (BYPASS) to the
daisy chain outputs. Sending the processed signal to the daisy chain outputs will allow two or more amplifiers to
run off of the same processed signal,
so only one
be used (the signal needs only to be
processed once for all of the amplifiers
that need the signal). Sending the unprocessed signal to the daisy chain
outputs will enable the use of other
P.I.P.–BP1
switch settings or the use of other
modules to perform different functions
on the same input signal. Both jumpers
of each channel must be in the same
position for correct operation.

would have to

Installation
Y ou may need a Phillips screwdriver to
remove the existing
panel from your amplifier .
CAUTION: Before connecting this or
any
PIP
to your amplifier , it is important
to turn the amplifier’s level controls
down, turn it off and remove the AC
power . Don’t touch the cir cuitry . Even
though the amplifier is off, there could
still be enough energy remaining to
cause electric shock.
1. Turn down the level controls (full
counterclockwise), turn off the amplifier and unplug it from the AC
power source.
2. Remove the existing
panel (two screws). For
plifiers, this may involve disconnecting the
adapter (see Figures 3.5 and 3.6).
If a
PIP2
input adapter is already
present do not remove the ribbon
cables from the adapter. Otherwise
you will have to reconnect them in
the next step.

THREE YEAR
The Crown Audio Division of Crown International, Inc., 1718 West Mishawaka Road,
Elkhart, Indiana 46517-4095 U.S.A. warrants to you, the ORIGINAL PURCHASER and
ANY SUBSEQUENT OWNER of each NEW Crown product, for a period of three (3) years
from the date of purchase by the original purchaser (the “warranty period”) that the
new Crown product is free of defects in materials and workmanship. We further warrant
the new Crown product regardless of the reason for failure, except as excluded in this
Warranty.
This Crown Warranty is in effect only for failure of a new Crown product which occurred
within the Warranty Period. It does not cover any product which has been damaged
because of any intentional misuse, accident, negligence, or loss which is covered under
any of your insurance contracts. This Crown Warranty also does not extend to the new
Crown product if the serial number has been defaced, altered, or removed.
We will remedy any defect, regardless of the reason for failure (except as excluded),
by repair, r eplacement, or refund. We may not elect refund unless you agree, or unless
we are unable to provide replacement, and repair is not practical or cannot be timely
made. If a refund is elected, then you must make the defective or malfunctioning product
available to us free and clear of all liens or other encumbrances. The refund will be equal
to the actual purchase price, not including interest, insurance, closing costs, and other
finance charges less a reasonable depreciation on the product from the date of original
purchase. Warranty work can only be performed at our authorized service centers or
at the factory. W e will remedy the defect and ship the pr oduct from the service center
or our factory within a reasonable time after receipt of the defective product at our
authorized service center or our factory. All expenses in r emedying the defect, including
surface shipping costs in the United States, will be borne by us. (You must bear the
expense of shipping the product between any foreign country and the port of entry in
the United States and all taxes, duties, and other customs fees for such foreign
shipments.)
You must notify us of your need for warranty service not later than ninety (90) days
after expiration of the warranty period. All components must be shipped in a factory
pack, which, if needed, may be obtained from us free of charge. Corrective action will
be taken within a reasonable time of the date of receipt of the defective product by
