PIP2™ compatible amplifiers.* It connects the
amplifier to a 100 Mb Ethernet network allow-
ing it to be remotely controlled and monitored
via System Architect or IQwic™ software. In
addition, the USP3/CN allows the transport of
real-time digital audio via CobraNet over the
same Ethernet network.

The USP3/CN is a HiQnet and TCP/IQ series
component and connects to the audio con-
trol/monitor network using a standard 100Mb
Ethernet hardware (switches, Network Interface
Cards, and cables). CobraNet™ audio is avail-
able over the same 100Mb Ethernet network,
providing a simple to install, single plug
solution for audio distribution, control, and
monitoring.
Firmware upgrades via the network
10 user selectable presets
24 bit digital to analog conversion with 32 bit,
floating point DSP processing
Reliable FLASH memory backup of all param-
eters
64 assignable filters with 9 different filter types
including all-pass filters
•
Three Year, No-Fault, Fully Transferable War-
ranty completely protects your investment and
guarantees its specifications
Over 2 seconds of delay available per
channel
The USP3/CN’s SHARC DSP processor gives
the user an enormous amount of digital signal
processing. Audio routing, faders, meters,
polarity & mute, input compressors, filters,
delays, multimode output limiters, error report-
ing, and load monitoring are all available. A
built in noise generator and sine-wave genera-
tor provide noise masking and test capabilities.
The enhanced AUX port capability allows the
user to interface with the amplifier to provide
external manual control and monitoring.
Connectors:
Balanced Audio Input Connector
Single 5-pin removable barrier-strip connector
for both channels.
Switches:
Reset/Preset Switch
Used to change presets, restore settings to fac-
tory default or restore all the presets to the fac-
tory defaults. During operations of the switch,
the Data indicator flashes as an aid to the user.
AUX Connector
Configurable for AUX input or AUX output.
Listen Bus is available through CobraNet.
Memory Backup: 512 kbyte non-volatile FLASH
memory for backup of run-time parameters,
presets, and program storage. Capable of
greater than 10 year data retention and esti-
mated 20+ year life-cycle.
Network Connector
Offering crisp, clear sound and the wide
dynamic range possible with CobraNet, the IQ-
PIP-USP3/CN provides unprecedented power
and flexibility in one compact—and very afford-
able—module.
The dual RJ45 CobraNet connectors allow a
Primary & Secondary connection to the 100Mb
Ethernet network. Should the Primary con-
nection lose link activity with the network,
the USP3/CN will automatically switch to the
Secondary connection to ensure uninterrupted
audio and control. The indicators on the RJ45
connectors display network information con-
cerning the Ethernet and CobraNet connections.
Communications: 100Mb Fast Ethernet con-
forming to IEEE 802.3.
Power Requirements (provided by the ampli-
fier): +24VDC @ 350mA, –24VDC @ 30mA.
< 8.7 Watts.
The IQ-PIP-USP3/CN requires Harman Pro
System Architect software or IQwic software

Indicators:
DSP Processing: 32 bit, Floating Point,
665 µs latency.
Preset Indicator
DAC Conversion: 24 bit, 135 µs latency.
Signals the number of the current preset, if
active, by flashing a series of flashes equal to
the current preset number.
Dynamic Range: 103 dB typical
(A-weighted, 20Hz–20kHz, audio sourced
from muted CobraNet channel).
* You must have a PIP2-compatible amplifier to use the IQ-
PIP-USP3/CN. To determine if your amplifier is PIP2-compat-
ible, look for the
logo on the back of the amplifier.
IQ Data Indicator
The IQ-PIP-USP3/CN is NOT compatible with older Crown
PIP amplifiers, and cannot be used with CT210 or MA3600
amplifiers
Distortion: < 0.05% THD+N, 20Hz–20kHz.
Flashes when the IQ-PIP-USP3/CN receives a
valid command that is addressed to the IQ-PIP-
USP3/CN.
Frequency Response: 0.5 dB,
20Hz–20kHz.
Specifications
General
Internal Controls: A Reset/Preset switch,
accessible with a straightened paper clip
through the PIP panel, selects the next user
preset if pressed for less than 2 seconds,
resets the PIP to preset “0” if pressed for more
than 2 seconds.
Input/Output Monitor Accuracy: Typically
1dB.
