User manual CARVIN SW1801

[. . . ] xxxxxx USA SPEAKER CABLES SW1801 Congratulations on your selection of the SW1801 Sub Woofer System. The SW1801 is the finest single 18" sub-woofer enclosure that Carvin has ever offered. Perfect for bands, DJ's, and permanent installations. From tight, punchy upper-bass to earth shaking sub-bass, the SW1801 can fulfill any professional sound reinforcement requirement easily. [. . . ] Be sure to note the total impedance to the amp so it is not lower than it's recommended impedance. SUGGESTIONS FOR OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE It is recommended to keep subwoofers on the floor as the floor enhances the low frequency wave to develop more acoustic output. Subwoofers may be hung but their efficiency is slightly lower when suspended.

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 SW1801P is available in either 120V or 240V models. Always use dedicated circuits for powered speakers. Every Carvin SPSTM powered speaker is designed to be left on continuously in the case of permanent installations.
