Crown Control

London Architect also offers simultaneous and integrated control of Crown Audio Modules as used in the CTs series of amplifiers and the MacoTech i Series amplifiers, providing the most powerful CobraNet-based integrated processing, amplification and monitoring system available.

Soundweb London can connect to either the normal USP-3 card or PIP-LITE, the PIP BLU which benefits from BSS Audio BLU link, as well as CobraNet-based CTs 4200, CTs 8200, USP3/CN and USP4/CN, for audio transmission over the network. The control panel within London Architect for these modules can provide feedback information such as error reporting, load monitoring and other amplifier information, as well as the normal signal level indication.

Parameter presets can be stored via London Architect and recalled by using a London device as a proxy.  The proxy can be selected in the properties for the device.  All London devices which are in your design will be listed for you to select which one you wish to use as proxy.  When a parameter preset or venue preset is recalled, the proxy device manages the setting of the Crown module or amplifier to its preset state.

Crown USP3/CNs and USP4/CNs have CobraNet audio and control on the same network. When on a large network with London devices, BSS Audio recommends the use of a VLAN to keep the audio separate from the control network.

 The Crown TCP/IQ Utility or HiQnet System Architect will be required to load the latest firmware onto the modules.  HiQnet System Architect or the Crown IQwic software is required to configure the PIP cards with the exception of the PIP-BLU which is configured from within London Architect. .

These programs and the latest firmware can be found on Crown Audio's website at  http://www.crownaudio.com
