1 Welcome
The IQ–P.I.P.–SMT is a PIP2 input
module for Crown P.I.P. ® (program-
mable input processor) and PIP2-
compatible amplifiers. Because it is
also an
IQ2-series component, it sup-
ports Crown’s UCODE protocol and
requires an
IQ System ® with an IQ2-
compatible IQ interface. UCODE
(universal code) enables users and
third parties to develop custom soft-
ware objects to control and monitor
IQ2-compatible components like the
IQ–P.I.P.–SMT.
The IQ–P.I.P.–SMT connects the am-
plifier to the Crown Bus of an IQ Sys-
tem so the amplifier can be controlled
and monitored. With its
SmartAmp ™
features, it offers several automation
functions such as the ability to auto-
matically turn on an amplifier chan-
nel (high voltage supply) when it is
needed and then turn it back off
when it is no longer needed. This
conserves power and saves money.
This manual will help you success-
fully install your unit. We strongly rec-
