Some IQ components also have one or more Display screens. A prominent feature of Display screens is their
bar graph displays of signal levels. Amplifiers have two Display screens, a 6-bar and 8-bar Display screen. The
amplifier Display screens show both the input and output audio signal levels for each input channel of the IQ P.I.P.
Note: Only Crown P.I.P.-compatible amplifiers with an IQ P.I.P. can be controlled or monitored by the IQ System.
A 6-bar amplifier Display screen is shown below in Figure 2.4:

Finally, some of the more advanced IQ components also have one or more Sub-block screens. Sub-block
screens contain a collection of controls that are used to configure automatic functions like signal compression or
limiting, auto standby, automatic mic mixing, etc. An amplifier Sub-block screen is shown below in Figure 2.5. Only
amplifiers with IQ P.I.P.s having SmartAmp
™ features have a Sub-block screen.

The biggest advantage of text screens is the ability to quickly set the parameters of many IQ components without
the need for custom-designed controls.
