INSPECT YOUR CX MIXER FOR ANY DAMAGE which may have occurred
during shipping. If any damage is found, notify the shipping company and call
CARVIN immediately.

the best possible protection for the mixer 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 servicing of your unit.
Always check the invoice against the items you have received.
SHIPMENT SHORTAGE. If you find some items missing, it may be that they
were shipped separately. Please allow several days for the rest of your order to

time) you have not received all the items you ordered, please call CARVIN.
FOR THE NEW OWNER
Congratulations on your selection of CARVlN products: “The Professional’s
Choice.” Your new CX series mixer demonstrates CARVIN’s commitment to
producing the highest quality and most sophisticated engineering in the audio
industry today. Its wide acceptance and use by industry professionals illustrates
the basis for CARVIN’s recognition as “The Professional’s Choice.”
The CX series mixers were designed to be a professional quality mixer in a compacked package. The desire was to pack as many professional features into the
smallest package we could, without sacrificing the quality of any one of the features or the mixer. The CX1252 includes a full function 12 channel stereo mixer,
two nine band graphic equalizers, a 128 preset digital signal effects processor,
and a 500 Watt stereo power amplifier capable of 250 Watts a side into 4 ohms.
The CX842 is an 8 channel stereo mixer with a 400 Watt power amplifier. The
CX842 has all the features of the CX1252 including the two nine band graphic
equalizers and the effects processor. Each CX series mixer is the size of a 5
space rackmount unit surrounded by a 3/4” poplar plywood cabinet covered with
Duratuff carpeting making the CX mixer road worthy and ready for a show anywhere.

If you’re like most new owners, you’re probably in a hurry to plug your CX mixer
in and use it. Here are some brief instructions to get you going quickly. With the
mixer unplugged and the unit turned off, complete the following procedures:
1. CONNECTING AC POWER TO YOUR MIXER
• Check the rear panel to make sure the mixer received uses the proper AC
Line Voltage. (USA 120VAC, Europe 240 VAC ...etc.)
• Use only a grounded (3 prong) power outlet to prevent a shock hazard. This
gives the quietest grounding for your mixer.
2. CONNECTING SPEAKERS (Powered Models Only)
• Use the right and left 1/4” speaker jacks on the rear panel which are controled by the main level control on the front). The speaker cables should be
non-shielded and at least 18 gauge(AWG) wire. For speaker cable runs of
over 20 feet 16 gauge wire is recommended..
NOTE: Do not run your speakers through microphone wire, guitar cables, or multi-conductor microphone junction boxes or
“snakes” as they are sometimes referred to. This wire is normally shielded and of a very light gauge causing a substantial loss of
power and oscillations at high frequencies in the amplifier. All
speaker wires must be non-shielded
.
3. SpeakerGuardtmand the “PROTECT” LED
• The protect LED comes on along with the output relays in three different protection modes: Shorted speaker outputs, Speaker Impedance below minimum
rating, and when the amplifier exceeds maximum operating temperature.
• In event the LED comes on turn off the amplifier and Identify and correct any
speaker cable or speaker jack shorts and make sure the total speaker
Impedance for each output is 4 ohms or greater. Also make sure the fan is
not blocked and check that cool air can circulate around the rear of the mixer.
4. CONNECTING INPUTS TO YOUR MIXER
• For low level balanced devices such as microphones, plug into the balanced
MIC inputs using a shielded microphone cable with XLR ends.
• For high level unbalanced devices such as Tape Recorders and Keyboards
plug into the LINE input jacks using a shielded cable with 1/4” phone ends.
5. TURNING YOUR MIXER ON
• Adjust all channel and master level controls to their off
positions (fully
counter clockwise).
• Adjust all “EQ” tone controls— the channel’s Hi, Mid, and Bass and the two
master 9 Band Graphic EQ’s to their center detent position.
• Adjust all the Channel “PAN” controls to their center detent position.
• Turn the mixer on by the rear panel power switch and watch for the power
LED to come on. Your mixer is now ready to operate.
MAINTENANCE
To bring back the new look, your CX mixer can be washed with mild detergent
and/ or a warm damp soft cloth. This will remove normal dust and oil from the
front and back panels. Never spray cleaners or detergents directly at the unit.
The mixer’s are virtually sealed from outside dust and dirt, but it is recommended to keep the mixer free from dust, dirt, and moisture as much as possible.

one or one pair to each 1/4” speaker output. Also two 4 ohm speakers can be
connected one to each speaker output. Never go below 4 ohms on either of the
two speaker output jacks, this would result in premature distortion, thermal shut
down, and/or possible damage to the internal power amplifier.

SPEAKER CONNECTIONS
TAPE DECKS AND EXTERNAL EFFECTS
The basic hook up is simple,
using four (or two stereo)
RCA cables plug the TAPE
SEND on the mixer into the
tape deck’s inputs, and the
mixer’s TAPE RTN’s into the
tape deck’s outputs. With an
effects processor plug the
effects send 1/4”phone output
on the mixer into the input
jack on the effects processor,
and plug one or both (for
stereo) of the L/R EFFECTS
RETURN 1/4” phone inputs
on the mixer into the outputs
on the effects processor.
6. CHANNEL PAN CONTROL
The PAN control adjusts where the channel is heard in
the stereo field of the stereo main outputs. If it is turned
to the extreme left, then the channel will only be heard in
the left main output and similarly only in the right main
output if turned to the extreme right. In the center position the channel is heard equally in both the left and right
main outputs. A good starting point for the pan is in the
center position. Then if stereo placement is needed, a
quarter turn to the desired side from the center position
gives a smooth placement in the stereo field, or if desired
a full turn to one side gives a hard placement.
7. CHANNEL EFFECTS/REVERB LEVEL CONTROL
The EFF/REV control adjusts the volume of the channel
going to the effects send master control, and/or the internal DSP effects (if DSP is present). The effects control is
post channel level. This means adjustments in the channel’s EQ or level controls will be affecting the effects mix
output of that channel.
8-10. CHANNEL TONE CONTROLS
Each channel features three tone controls LO, MID, and HI. The LO and HI controls are shelving type tone controls with corner frequencies at 100Hz and
10KHz respectively. The shelving means, the for the LO control, all frequencies
from 100Hz down to the lowest frequency the mixer can handle are all boosted
when the knob is turned clockwise and cut when turned counter-clockwise from
the center position. For the HI control the shelving means all the frequencies
from 10kHz and up to the upper limit of the mixer are all boosted when the knob
is turned clockwise and cut when turned counter-clockwise from the center position. The MID control is a band pass type of tone control. The band pass
means a middle section of frequences centered around 1.5kHz, but not over
lapping the HI and LO controls, is boosted when the knob is turned clockwise
and cut when turned counter-clockwise from the center position.
Familarity with the channel tone controls:
The three tone controls can add brightness, clairity, and control to the channel’s
input signal. Here are some tonal references for these tone controls.
• LO affects the deep low bass tones and the typical bass tones.
• MID affects all the middle frequencies where the clairty of an average persons
spoken voice is mostly heard. Also the MID incompases the louder sometimes
harsher tones that can distort the over all sound of the system.
• HI affects the treble tones and very high treble tones bringing brightness and
brillance to the channel’s input.
Adjusting:
Use these controls to change the tonal shape of the input signal and in many
cases to reduce possible feedback from microphones near the mixer’s output
speakers. It is suggested the channel tone controls start out in their center
detent position where they do not effect the original incoming signal. Then, if
needed, turn the tone controls (boost,turn to the right, or cut, turn to the left) to
change the sound.
