Carvin 822 User Manual
SPEAKER CABLES
The PH50 is our standard cable when purchasing a complete sound system.
These cables feature 1/4” plugs and heavy 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.
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.

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

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.
