1.2 The IQ-USM 810
The Crown IQ-USM 810 is an 8x10 mixer/processor
that provides unique dual input processing paths. As
an IQ
® component, it can be controlled by an IQ Sys-
tem ® , and with its distributed intelligence ™ capability,
continue to operate even when an IQ System is not
connected. The IQ-USM 810 can also act as a sys-
tem interface to other IQ components.
The IQ-USM 810 features high-quality 24-bit A/D and
D/A converters along with 240MIPS of full 32-bit float-
ing point DSP for optimum dynamic range.
The dual input processing paths include a full comple-
ment of signal processing features, including ad-
vanced algorithms for gating, auto-leveling, filtering,
compression and automixing.
A full 8x8 Matrix Mixer allows any combination of rout-
ing and mixing from any input to any output. The Ma-
trix Mixer outputs are routed to the two Main Audio
Outputs and eight AUX Audio Outputs. The Main and
AUX Audio Output sections further process the sig-
nal with individually adjustable signal delay and fil-
ters along with an Ambient-Leveler and a high perfor-
mance Output Limiter for system protection.
A Multi-Function Control Port implements analog and
digital I/O for control and monitor by simple potenti-
ometer and switch wall controllers and indicator pan-
els.
All of the IQ-USM 810 parameters are backed up via
reliable FLASH memory. System configurations may
be stored for recall from any of thirty-two system pre-
sets from the front panel control or via IQ for Windows
software.
