1.2 About this Manual
This User Manual is written for the IQ System Administrator—the individual responsible for installing and config-
uring the system and its software. It explains the features of Turbo but it does not tell you how to use them. Because
the details of specific audio systems vary widely, this manual does not attempt to be an operation manual for your
system. It is assumed that the IQ System Administrator (or whatever title you choose to use) will provide proper
training to the operators in the specifics of the audio system and this software. Crown offers an IQ School to
assist with the training and certification of IQ System designers, installers and administrators. Please contact us if
you would like more information about our IQ training program.
Before installing Turbo, we recommend that you read the installation instructions. Experienced users can then
skip to relevant sections later in the manual to learn about specific software features for various IQ components.
The Using Turbo Section is intended for first-time Turbo users who would like an overview of the program before
delving into the details.
In order to limit the scope of this manual, a few assumptions are made on the part of the user. First, the user is
assumed to be knowledgeable in the use of personal computers and is familiar with principles of audio and IQ
Systems. Second, the user is assumed to understand the requirements for his/her audio application and is able
to determine the system settings to achieve the desired results.
