Carvin 1584 V1 User Manual

SPEAKER CABLES

Our standard cable for speaker hookups is the PH50. This cable features 1/4”
plugs and 16 gauge copper wire. The PH50 is adequate for lengths up to 50’ under
normal use. You can DAISY-CHAIN up to one additional speaker per cable by using
the unused 1/4” OUTPUT” jack (right side) on your speaker jack plate. Be sure to
note the total impedance to the amp so it is not lower than it’s recommended
impedance. See

Typical Loudspeaker Impedance Configurations.

Our professional SPK25, SPK50 & SPK100 cables feature Speakon™ lock-on
connectors with heavy 4 conductor 12 gauge copper wire. These cables are to be
connected in the same way as the PH50 with compatible amps.

PRECAUTIONS

1) DO NOT EXCEED THE POWER RATING marked on the rear connect plate.
Excessive power will destroy drivers. 2) DISTORTION from power amps will destroy
drivers much faster than clean power. 3) WATER, MOISTURE, and DUST are
harmful to drivers causing failure which is not covered under warranty.

1584

Congratulations on your selection of the 1584

loudspeaker. The 1584 vented, 400
watt 3-way speaker enclosure will exceed the power and output of the competition
and it will sound better because of its superior design featuring a computer optimized
cabinet, advanced C1584 crossover, and the Pro Series speaker components. We
realize that for a loudspeaker to sound its finest, it must be a system of precisely
aligned components. With our matched 15“ woofer, 8“ midrange and titanium horn,
the 1584 is an outstanding system for a vast array of applications ranging from clubs
to outdoor use.

RECEIVING INSPECTION

INSPECT YOUR SPEAKER FOR ANY DAMAGE which may have occurred during

shipping. If any damage is found, please notify the shipping company & CARVIN.

SAVE THE CARTON & ALL PACKING MATERIALS. In the event you have to re-ship
your unit, always use the original carton and packing material. This will provide the best
possible protection during shipment. CARVIN and the shipping company are not liable
for any damage caused by improper packing.

SAVE YOUR INVOICE. It will be required for warranty service if needed in the future.

SHIPMENT SHORTAGE. If you find items missing, they may have been shipped

separately. Please allow several days for the rest of your order to arrive before inquiring.

RECORD THE SERIAL NUMBER on the enclosed warranty card or below on this
manual for your records. Keep your portion of the card and return the portion with your
name and comments to us.

SUGGESTIONS FOR OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE

Raise the enclosure to the ear level of your audience for greater coverage. To
help control feedback, use a graphic equalizer. Keep the speakers in front of the
microphone. Never direct the microphone towards the speaker. For greater
coverage, add a second speaker system 20° to 30° off axis.
