control device from Crown. It contains
versatile feature sets that allow you not
only to reduce the num er of units you install
into a sound system, ut to greatly reduce
the cost of the system. The USM-810 is a
DSP processing unit that has een designed
to e a "System in a Box". You'll get an ex-
tremely powerful DSP engine that delivers a
great deal of processing power. And it also
incorporates one of the most sophisticated
automatic mixers availa le. With eight inputs
and 10 outputs, you'll have a very versatile
"palette" of system configurations and signal
routing capa ilities.
The IQ-USM 810 fits an infinite range of
installations. From major sports facilities to
the smallest houses of worship, the IQ-USM
810 can fill the need. It incorporates 32 user-
defina le presets that can e selected from
the front panel, IQ for Windows software,
switch closure, or can e scheduled from its
internal real-time clock/calendar. You can
easily configure the IQ-USM 810 for auto-
matic room com ining as well as "simple to
use" wall station controls. All of this and
more at a price you won't elieve!
The IQ-USM 810 extends the Ultra Series of
Crown IQ products. Along with the IQ-PIP
USP2 module and Crown Com-Tech and
Macro-Tech PIP2-compati le amplifiers, the
IQ-USM 810 incorporates the est amplifier
control system with the est signal process-
ing. You get more control and versatility
using a single computer or controller than
ever efore. IQ offers the greatest spectrum
of connectivity while maintaining its simple
approach. Plus, your investment is acked y
Crown’s unequaled Three-Year, No-Fault, Full
Warranty that covers everything.

Specifications
Description
The Crown IQ-USM 810 is an 8x10 proces-
sor/mixer with unique dual input processing
paths. As an IQ component, it can e con-
trolled y an IQ System, and with its distri -
uted intelligence capa ility, continue to
operate even when an IQ System is not
connected. The IQ-USM 810 can also act as a
system interface to other IQ components.

A/D and D/A converters along with 240MIPS
of full 32- it floating point DSP for optimum
dynamic range.
Each audio input includes Filters and Delay.
Each dual input processing path includes a
full complement of signal processing fea-
tures, including Delay, Input Gate, Auto-
Leveler, Filters, Input Compressor and
Automixing. Automixing functions include
NOM Attenuation, Priority Ducking, and
Adaptive Gating processing. A Muter/Inverter
is also provided at each input processing
path.
A full 8x8 Matrix Mixer allows any com ina-
tion of routing and mixing from any input to
any output. The Matrix Mixer outputs are
routed to the two Main Audio Outputs and
eight AUX Audio Outputs.
The Main and AUX Audio Output sections
further process the signal with individually
adjusta le signal delay and filters along with
an Am ient-Leveler and a high performance
Output Limiter for system protection, a fader
muter/inverter.
Each filter group can e configured for any
com ination of up to seven different filter
types. Different filter types include Low-Pass
Crossover Filter (1st-4th order), High-Pass
Crossover Filter (1st-4th order), Parametric
Equalization Filter (2nd order), Low-Pass
Equalization Filter (2nd order), High-Pass
Equalization Filter (2nd order), Low-Pass
Shelving Equalization (1st order) and High-
Pass Shelving Equalization (1st order). 32
filters per DSP processor are availa le for a
total of 128 filters within the IQ-USM 810.
A Multi-Function Control Port implements
analog and digital I/O for control and monitor
y external circuits. Sixteen outputs and
sixteen inputs along with power supply out-
puts and common grounds are provided. All
sixteen (1-16) outputs are digital “logic outs.”
The upper eight inputs (9-16) are capa le of
monitoring digital and analog external signals.
All IQ-USM 810 parameters are acked up via
FLASH memory. System configurations may
e stored for recall from any of thirty-two
system presets from the front panel control,
switch closure, via IQ for Windows software
or scheduled from the internal real-time
clock/calendar.
General
Front Panel ontrols: Front-panel switches
select IQ Address, Baud Rate, factory default
preset (P00), and any of 32 user-defined
presets (P01-P32).
Rear-Panel ontrols: A 3-position selector
switch (mic/line/phantom) and a cali rated
gain control for each input.
onnectors: Crown Bus: RJ-45 for input/
output, RJ-45 for daisy output, RS232: DB9F
computer interface for oth component and
interface modes. Multi-function Port: DB37M
for analog inputs, digital inputs, digital out-
puts, +5VDC, +10VDC and Ground. Audio
Inputs and Outputs: 3-pin male remova le
arrier lock connectors, Buchanan¨ type
ca le connector or equivalent supplied. AC
Power: IEC320 connector for AC power cord.
Display: A lue front-panel Ena le indicator
lights to show that the unit is plugged in and
AC power is eing supplied. An am er front-
panel Data Signal Presence Indicator (DATA)
flashes whenever commands addressed to
the IQ-USM810 are received. A green front-
panel Interface indicator lights when the IQ-
USM810 is eing used as system interface. A
