User manual CARVIN 1588

[. . . ] The midrange employs two 8" direct radiating midrange drivers, for their exceptionally smooth and extended frequency response. The high frequency consists of one highly accurate titanium horn driver and lens assembly. All components are integrated with our 3-way C1588 crossover to deliver a system response that is smooth from 34 Hz to 19k Hz. Bi-amping can easily be done by selecting the bi-amp switch and input connectors. SPEAKER CABLES Use either 1/4" 16 gauge copper wire speaker cable or high-current Twist-LokTM cables with heavy 4 conductor 12 gauge copper wire.

Use the balanced XLR or 1/4" connectors featured on the rear connect plate. You may DAISY-CHAIN as many speakers as you wish. All connectors are wired in parallel. 12dB PAD To start the initial hook up, be sure the 12dB pad switch is in the "IN" position. This will be the least sensitive position for your input source. If your signal is weak, depress the Pad switch to the "OUT" position, which will raise the level of your powered speaker. SOFT LIMITING Unlike other limiters, the SPSTM incorporates an exclusive optoisolater limiter system, which does not add distortion when limiting. Soft limiting starts to occur when you approach the maximum output of your powered speaker allowing you to get more usable power out of your system without severe clipping. However, when you hear distortion, hard clipping or cutting out, reduce the overall level as you have exceeded the system's capacity. POWER/PROTECT When the system has been activated by the power switch, the LED will indicate GREEN. If the system should go into protect, the LED will indicate YELLOW which may occur if; a) one of the internal drivers short or b) if the power amp should require service. AC POWER The 1588P is available in either 120V or 240V models. Always use dedicated circuits for powered speakers. [. . . ] Of course, mute and protection circuits are standard to save your gear from any unfriendly stage conditions. The biggest advantage of Carvin powered speakers is rock-solid reliability and convenience while only adding 6 lbs over the weight of our standard enclosures!SMART POWERED SPEAKERSTM are easy to connect via a 1/4" or XLR balanced inputs. Daisy-chain as many powered speakers as you need for additional coverage. [. . . ]
