Carvin’s new LSx (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 LSx Series loudspeakers deliver all the features musicians and mobile DJs demand.

Consisting of ten models encompassing five 2-way systems, three 3-way systems, and two subwoofer systems, the LSx Series is ideally suited to address a wide range of sound reinforcement system require- ments—from intimate clubs to large scale, high impact music venues. With key features like 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 LSx Series loudspeakers are just what your audience has been waiting for!

Going one step further, all LSx Series loudspeaker enclosures utilize multi-layered, cross grain laminated 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 Duratex™ sprayed on coverings, Carvin’s new LSx 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.
