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 1584P 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. 1584P Read general information about the 1584 enclosure for specs, warranty and precautions on the other side.
