CARVIN ENGINEERING DATA LS (LIVE SOUND) LOUDSPEAKERS
Carvin’s new LS (Live Sound) Series loudspeakers give new meaning to
high performance loudspeaker systems for today’s club scene. Building
upon the company’s long-standing reputation for state-of-the-art systems offering great sonic performance coupled with proven reliability
and solid value, the new LS Series loudspeakers deliver all the features
musicians and mobile DJs demand.
Consisting of eight models encompassing three 2-way systems, three
3-way systems, and two subwoofer systems, the LS Series is ideally
LS1002
LS1202
LS1502/LS1502A
suited to address a wide range of sound reinforcement system requirements—from intimate clubs to large scale, high impact music venues.
With key features like 16-guage perforated steel grills to protect the
drivers, recessed steel handles for easy transport, high order – low loss
biampable crossovers that ensure high intelligibility of spoken word and
accurate reproduction of music sources, plus Neutrik Speakon™ and
quarter-inch connectors across all models, Carvin’s new LS Series loudspeakers are just what your audience has been waiting for!
Going one step further, all LS Series loudspeaker enclosures utilize
multi-layered, cross grain laminated Baltic birch plywood construction.
Why is this important? Unlike other materials, plywood construction
results in rigid enclosure walls that reduce flex and sonic coloration
caused by cabinet resonance, with the added benefit of a structurally more robust enclosure designed to handle the rigors of the road.
Finished with great-looking, rugged Duratuff™ coverings, Carvin’s new
LS Series loudspeakers look every bit as compelling as they sound!

LiMiteD WaRRanty
Parts and labor are covered for 3 years on manufacturer’s defects.
Warranty does not cover burned out drivers caused by excessive
power or distortion, or physical damage caused by general use,
moisture or dust. CAUTION: Square wave distortion from power
amps can destroy drivers much faster than clean RMS power. The
power generated by the APS internal power amps has the capacity
to damage the drivers, in which case they would not be covered
under warranty.

HELP SECTION
1) UNIT WILL NOT TURN ON: Check the power to the AC cord. Check for tripped circuit breakers,
unplugged extension cords or power-strip switches that may be turned off. Check the fuse or circuit breaker
on the unit if available. If the fuse has been replaced with the proper value and the fuse fails again, or the
internal circuit breaker activates after reset, the unit will require servicing.
2) NO OUTPUT with POWER light ON: Shipping damage will be the primary reason for your product to not
function properly. Please give us a call to help you determine the problem.
3) KEEP YOUR UNIT LOOKING NEW: Use only a dry cloth to wipe the control and venting areas. Surfaces
without openings may be cleaned with a damp cloth.
