User manual CARVIN UH6000

[. . . ] You must also include a photocopy of your proof of purchase or we cannot be responsible for repairs or replacements. Carvin will not replace nor be responsible for any units sent incomplete, without proper identification and return address or RA number clearly marked on the package. Any applicable implied warranties including warranties of merchantability and fitness are hereby limited to 90 days from the date of purchase. Consequential or incidental damages resulting from a breach of any applicable express or implied warranties are hereby excluded. [. . . ] The level from the UNBALANCED OUTPUT is controlled by the front panel VOLUME CONTROL (6) and the rear panel LEVEL LOW/HI SWITCH (12). This switch adjusts the maximum volume of the level range controlled by the VOLUME CONTROL. In the "LOW" position, the level of the signal from the UNBALANCED OUTPUT, with the VOLUME CONTROL set to "10", is about 10% of the maximum volume available with the "HI" position. Proper use of the LOW/HI SWITCH enables better control of the UNBALANCED OUTPUT volume. (Note: As when making any connection, make sure the amplifier or mixing board volume is at the minimum level before plugging in the receiver to avoid possible sound system damage. ) For optimum performance, an INPUT LEVEL CONTROL (32) is provided. Adjust the gain by turning the control with your thumb. For lavalier mic use, it is recommended that the level be set at about 2/3 maximum. For headworn mic use, it may be advisable to turn the gain down somewhat, depending on the volume evels expected. In either application, experiment and set for maximum possible gain without audible distortion on the high level peaks. (Note: Turning down the gain too much can compromise the signal-to-noise and is not recommended. ) The AF LEVEL DISPLAY (5) on the receiver will light up to 5 LED indicators for all input signals. Occasional flickering on and off during use of the top red LED is normal, but if the red LED stays lit continuously, turn down the INPUT LEVEL CONTROL (33) on the Body Pack Transmitter or noticeable distortion may result. Instrument Connection (using the Body Pack Transmitter in the "instrument" setting) Insert an audio cord with a 1/4" mono phone plug in the UNBALANCED OUTPUT JACK (13) on the rear panel of the receiver. Plug the other end of the cord into an amplifier, effects, or mixing board. With the LEVEL LOW/HI SWITCH (12) set to HI, adjust the VOLUME CONTROL (6) on the receiver clockwise to about 3/4 rotation, until the volume level is comfortable for your application. This setting is roughly equivalent to a direct instrument cord connection. Turning the volume up to "10" will provide 4dB gain over a cord. Microphone Connection (using the Body Pack Transmitter with either a headworn or lavalier microphone or the handheld microphone transmitter) For microphone use, either the BALANCED MIC AUDIO OUTPUT XLR (14) or the 1/4" line level UNBALANCED OUTPUT (13) can be used. The XLR output is set at a non-adjustable microphone level, similar to hardwired mic levels. Plug an XLR connector into the XLR output jack on the rear of the unit and plug the other end into your amplifier or mixing board. Make sure the phantom power on your mixing board is turned off and the volume is turned down when making connections. For your convenience, the XLR output level is preset at the factory and is not adjustable with the receiver volume control. 28 33 To use the 1/4" UNBALANCED OUTPUT JACK (13), follow the instructions for the Instrument Connection (above), except start with the LEVEL LOW/HI SWITCH set to LOW and the receiver volume at 1/2 MAX and adjust both the switch and the volume control until the volume level is optimal. If the volume control is set too high, you may overload your mixer or amp. The receiver is equipped with an AF LEVEL LED DISPLAY (5) which indicates the level of the received audio from the transmitter. There are 4 green and 1 red LED in this display and in normal operation they will go on and off with the changing signal level. [. . . ] Rolling up or shortening the cord may reduce the effective operating range. When ready to play, slide the audio OFF/STANDBY/ON SWITCH (31) to the ON position. Adjust the volume of the receiver as per the Audio Output Instrument Connections section of the above receiver instructions. For optimum performance, an INPUT LEVEL CONTROL (33) is provided on the top panel of the Bodypack transmittert. [. . . ]
