Source Routing — Crown I-Tech HD, PIP-USP4 & VRack12000 / VRack4x3500

Double click the icon to open the Source Routing window.

 

This panel allows one to make changes to the configuration of the input section of the amplifier.

The Processing Rate selector will affect the entire amplifier, Changing the processing setting will result in the crossover settings being cleared out as a result of the changes in the way the filters are applied in the different modes.

The processing sample rate needs to be the same as the CobraNetâ„¢ sample rate or else there will be no CobraNet audio.

A device will indicate that it is receiving a bundle, but not produce audio if the CobraNet latency and sample rate between the transmitter and receiver does not match.

It will also change the latency through the DSP section amplifier so it is recommended that the processing rate be the same for the entire system.

The other items on this page affects only one channel at a time of the amplifier. Pressing the Source Configuration button will launch the its panel. The PIP-USP4 also has an Output Configuration button pressing it will launch its panel.

Signal Generator Level

The Signal Generator level control allows one to control the level coming from the signal generator of the processor. This level control is independent by channel. It is the same control that is used for the Sweep Load Monitoring.

Priority Input Routing

The processing in the amplifier allows one to set the priority of various sources coming into the amplifier. There are seven quick start buttons that allow for configuration of the signal selection. One can also customize the way the processor reacts to the signals coming in.

Configuration Buttons

The seven configuration buttons allow for the quick configuration of the input configuration for that channel. The options are (click on the item for more information):

The default values for these settings are that the threshold for these priority changes to be a threshold of -40dB, an attack time of 0 seconds, and a release time of 1 second. Attack and Release times are seconds/20dB as with other dynamics processing.

Expand Button

Clicking this button will expose additional controls that allow for setting the threshold, attack, and release. Attack and Release times are seconds/20dB as with other dynamics processing
