Macro-Tech 5000VZ Power Amplifier
Reference Manual
P.I.P.–ISO is designed especially for 25 to 140 volt distrib-
uted systems where UL
®
-listed isolation is required. Installa-
tion requires minor amplifier modifications. With the P.I.P.–ISO
installed, the amplifier outputs are safely isolated from the
input terminals and the chassis.
P.I.P.–ATNB uses balanced 1:1 transformers to isolate the
amplifier from the input signal. It also includes 12 dB/octave
RFI filters, variable 18 dB/octave high-pass filters, and 6 dB/
octave 3 kHz shelving networks for “constant-directivity” horn
equalization. The module also includes a calibrated 21-step
precision attenuator for each channel. Screw terminal plugs
are provided for input.
P.I.P.–XOV is a versatile 18 dB/octave mono crossover/filter
with biamping and triamping capabilities
IQ-PIP-USP2 is an IQ2 -series component. This means it sup-
ports Crown’s UCODE protocol and requires an
IQ System with
an
IQ2 -compatible IQ interface. UCODE (universal code) en-
ables users and third parties to develop custom software
objects to control and monitor
IQ2 -compatible components
like the
IQ-PIP-USP2 .
P.I.P.–FMX facilitates “daisy-chaining” balanced amplifier in-
puts. Female to male three-pin XLR connectors are used to
passively bridge the inputs.
P.I.P.–PA adds a switchable balanced low-impedance mic
input, a balanced line-level input and a compressor to each
channel. Remote switching circuitry provides quick and quiet
fades from mic to line and back.
P.I.P.–BEQ is a two-channel module providing equalization
for BOSE
®
loudspeakers. For example, the P.I.P.–BEQ can
be used in place of a BOSE 102 controller. Screw terminal
plugs provide balanced connections. Each input channel
has an output from the PIP that can be independently config-
ured for output with no processing, loudspeaker equalization
or loudspeaker equalization with bass-cut.
P.I.P.–RPA adds the features of a 4x2 mixer to your amplifier.
Its four inputs accept mic- or line-level input. It offers priority
switching (“voice-over”) of each input and remote level con-
trol with the RPA–RMT. Other features include bus inputs and
outputs, adjustable input sensitivity, phantom power and RFI
suppression. Input isolation transformers are optional.
