Crown PIPUSL Brochure

PIP-USL

he Crown® PIP™-USL module is designed
to integrate Crown amplifi ers into cinema
audio systems installed in cinemas, studio

T

production and post-production environments.
The PIP-USL installs into the back of

Crown PIP2™-compatible amplifi ers, saving
rack space and simplifying system wiring.

The HD15 connector on the PIP-USL is
designed for quick and easy interface with pop­ular cinema monitor products such as the USL
CM-680.

The module accepts signal for surround or sub­woofer channels, or bi-amp signals for screen
channels, from the cinema processor.

You must have a PIP2-compatible amplifi er to
use the PIP-USL. To determine if your amplifi er
is PIP2-compatible, look for the logo
on the back of the amplifi er. The PIP-USL is not
compatible with older Crown PIP amplifi ers.

For more details about the PIP-USL, contact
the Crown Technical Support Group at
800-342-6939 or 574-294-8200. Also, visit the
