current settings will be uploaded and its control block and sub-blocks updated. Note: This feature does not enable

Turbo to find

new IQ components that do not yet have a control block. To add new components you must either

run a roll call or manually create a control block for each new component.

Search Loop #: Can be used to locate a break in a particular Crown Bus loop. To use this function, first enter

the Search Loop number. Then activate the Search button (shortcut: press

A+s). If there is a break in the loop,

Turbo will display its approximate location.

Search: Causes Turbo to immediately begin searching the specified Crown Bus loop for breaks in communi-

cation. The loop is specified by the preceding Search Loop # control.

Solo Function Enabled: Activates the solo feature so the Solo controls located on individual amplifier

control blocks are enabled. If this control is turned off, the amplifier Solo controls will not work. It provides a way to

have global control over the solo feature.

Emergency Mute: Activates the emergency mute feature which allows an operator to quickly mute certain

IQ components by rapidly pressing the “Space Bar” five or more times. The IQ components affected by the

emergency mute feature are all the mixers (MPX-6, SMX-6, AMB-5) and amplifiers with IQ P.I.P.s (including IQ2

P.I.P.s).

Remote Emergency Mute: Activates a feature whereby an external logic signal sensed by an AUX port

of an IQ component is used to trigger an emergency mute.

Address: Specifies the Crown Bus loop, component type and IQ address of the IQ component whose AUX port

input will be monitored for the remote emergency mute feature. Use the following procedure to determine the

address:

1 Begin with “L” followed by the loop number of the IQ component.

2 Use one of the following three-letter mnemonics for the component type:

AMP Amplifier with IQ–P.I.P.–AP (version 1.45 or later)

MPX MPX-6 mixer

SMX SMX-6 mixer

AMB AMB-5 mixer

MRX MRX-24 or MRX-12 matrixer

PSI Pocket Serial Interface

SLM SLM-8 system and load monitor

3 Specify the IQ address of the component after the component type.

Notes: Case does not matter. Commas and spaces are ignored and can be added to improve readability.

Here are a couple of examples:

L1 SMX5

L3, AMP 1

SMX Max Gain Auto Compensation: This control is only relevant when programming an analog

input of a DRN-16 drone to control the Max Gain of an SMX-6 mixer. A better way to accomplish this is to turn on

the Max Gain to Track Control Block and Control Block Override switches in the first SMX sub-block and then

assign a drone pot to an SMX-6 attenuator. (Please contact Crown’s Technical Support Group for more informa-

tion.)
