Description

Open Box: The box has been opened but item never installed. It comes with the original box and another PCB board that needs to be installed and connected with a ribbon inside the amplifier.


Crown’s P.I.P. ®–AMCb. PIPTM modules are designed to quickly install in the back of many Crown amplifiers. PIP stands for “Programmable Input Processor.” Each PIP has features that expand the capabilities of your amplifier, enabling you to customize it for your particular needs.

The P.I.P.– AMCb is a versatile monophonic Acoustic Modeling Crossover (version b) that plugs into any PIP-capable Crown amplifier. It combines the functions of a crossover, equalizer and compressor.

DIP switches, plug-in SIP resistors and convenient jumper blocks make it easy to configure any of its powerful operating features.

FEATURES

  • Variable 24-dB/octave (4th order) Linkwitz-Riley crossover with state variable topology.
  • Variable 12-dB/octave (2nd order) low-frequency filter with Q=2 for vented box equalization.
  • Variable 6-dB/octave high frequency shelving network with variable 12-dB/octave high-frequency low-pass filter for constant-directivity horn equalization.
  • Variable threshold, feedback/error driven compressor/limiter with infinite compression ratio.
  • Configurable compressor control path.
  • Fully configurable outputs to supply the amplifier channels.
  • Configurable “daisy chain” output.
  • 3-pin balanced XLR connectors for input and daisy chain output.

About Shipping and Delivery We utilize legitimate bonded and licensed shipping carriers only (UPS, Fed Ex, USPS etc). We are not the shipping company and therefore cannot be held responsible for faults that lay with the shipping company. By placing orders with us you agree to be present to receive packages sent to you. Bananas cannot be held responsible for lost packages once they are logged as delivered by the shipping company. Once a package is logged as delivered by the shipping company the customer is responsible for any issues related to the delivery of the package at that point. Packaging and Shipping Information Due to conditions beyond our control (weather, shipper's handling etc.) some boxes that products originally come in cannot be re-used to ship out to customers. In those rare cases we will remove and inspect all items and repackage them in acceptable boxing to make it safe to you. All items are still considered brand new, under full warranty and fall under our same guarantees. Note: Bananas recycles unused boxes when possible.

To request a Return Authorization Number (RA Number), please email info@bananas.com with your full name, order number, item that you are returning, and what type of return you would like us to process - either exchange for the same item, exchange for another item, or return for refund. In addition, if you can include the reason for your return, and any other comments, that would be appreciated. Once we process your RA request, we will send you a Return Authorization Number, and instructions on how to return the item.

Rather than make you click elsewhere for the 'small print', here it is in not-so-small print: The following items may not be returned: Consumable items such as (but not limited to) strings, picks, drum sticks, drum heads, phono cartridges and replacement speakers. Any item that is worn on the body or is blown into, such as (but not limited to) earplugs, wind controllers or harmonicas Computer software, items that can be copied and copyrighted material such as (but not limited to) books, videos and CD's Installed items such as (but not limited to) guitar pickups, drum heads, headphone parts and other installed parts If you agree to back order or special order a product, you agree that order may not be canceled unless approved by Bananas. Special orders already in transit either from manufacturer or Bananas cannot be canceled. Special order items may be returned if defective for exchange. You will be notified what items qualify as special order status. *In-store sales, please see posted Return Policies Other Things You Need to Know about Online Returns Shipping and/or handling charges are not refundable. It is your responsibility to pay return shipping and to fully insure the unit(s) you are returning. Also, it is your responsibility to cover shipping charges for sending the item to you.

Items that are returned must be in the original packaging, with all accessories and paperwork included in the original shipment, such as owner's manual(s) and warranty card. Items must be free from signs of use or wear, and both warranty card and manual(s) must not have any writing in them. If your order was shipped to you in outer packaging it must be returned in that packaging as well as the inner box or boxes.
