SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (EUROPEAN)

The conductors in the AC power cord are colored in accordance with the following code.

GREEN & YELLOW—Earth BLUE—Neutral BROWN—Live

U.K. MAIN PLUG WARNING: Amolded main plug that has been cut off from the cord is
unsafe. NEVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU INSERT A DAM­AGED OR CUT MAIN PLUG INTO APOWER SOCKET.

IMPORTANT! FOR YOUR PROTECTION, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING:
WATER AND MOISTURE: Appliance should not be used near water (near a bathtub, washbowl,

kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, etc). Care should be taken
so that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through openings.

POWER SOURCES: The appliance should be connected to a power supply only of the type
described in the operating instructions or as marked on the appliance.

GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION: Precautions should be taken so that the grounding or polar­ization means of an appliance is not defeated.

POWER CORD PROTECTION: Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to
be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to
cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.

SERVICING: The user should not attempt to service the appliance beyond that described in the
operating instructions. All other servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel.

FUSING: If your unit is equipped with a fuse receptacle, replace only with the same type fuse.
Refer to replacement text on the unit for correct fuse type.

REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE

Congratulations on your purchase of the PA410 or PA620 mixer! These mixers are
the culmination of Carvin’s 50 years of knowledge and experience in the pro sound
arena. The quality and features included in these powerful little units make them rev­olutionary and unheard of in their price range! Please take the time to review this
manual so that you may fully enjoy all the benefits your mixer has to offer.

PRO FEATURES

The PA series mixers give you pro XLR mic preamps, along with 1/4" line inputs on every
channel. Phantom power is provided on the XLR inputs for compatibility with high quality
condenser mics. Each channel also provides a MONITOR send, a GAIN switch for accom­modating low and high input signals, EFFECTS send and LEVEL control.

ACTIVE EQ

Each channel of the PA series provides a HI and LOW shelving EQ with ±12dB of adjust­ment range featuring an internally optimized midrange circuit, for easy, effective tone
adjustments that sound great for vocals.

BUILT-IN POWER AMPS

The amplifiers in the PA series mixers are powerful enough to easily drive your speakers
for excellent coverage and clean, punchy sound. The PA410 delivers 100 Watts RMS,
while the more powerful PA620 delivers 200 Watts RMS! (Note: Each model is designed
to be used with 8Ω speakers (not 4 Ω). If the relay protection engages after 20 minutes
of heavy use (no output from the mixer while the power LED is on), you are using 4Ω
speakers. If the mixer goes into protect, let the mixer cool down and it will reset).

24-BIT DIGITAL PROCESSOR

Perhaps the most incredible feature of the PA series mixer is the "Full-Featured" 24-Bit Digital
Processor. You get awesome lush Reverbs, rich Chorus, crisp Delay and Echo, and thick,
layered Flanging – all with full band-width and pristine clarity. And with the PARAMETER
control, you can continuously modify each effect for up to 64 different sounds for a total of
256 effects! Nobody else has offered these features in a mixer in this price range!

MASTER SECTION

The master section of the PA series provides a MAIN volume for controlling your over-all
mix volume. A master MONITOR knob lets you control the over-all volume of an exter­nal monitor amp. The TAPE IN control is for varying the level of the signal being received
at the RCA TAPE IN jacks. A PHANTOM POWER switch is provided for engaging or dis­engaging power to condenser mics. Three controls EFFECT, SELECT, and PARAMETER,
are for setting up the full-featured Digital Effects. Finally, there is a master 7-Band
GRAPHIC EQ for fine tuning your over-all mix. It’s so easy to get a great sound!

CONNECTIVITY

The PA series mixers allow easy connections to most related equipment. There is a 1/4"
MAIN LINE OUT for sending the main signal to an external power amp or for plugging in
headphones. The MONITOR OUT is a 1/4" jack for feeding an external monitor amplifier.
RCA TAPE IN and OUT are provided for easy connection to keyboards, tape decks, CD
players, MiniDisc, computers, etc. The EFFECTS FOOT SW jack allows the connection of
the optional FS22 or equivalent footswitch for turning on or off your effects during per­formances. Two 1/4" SPEAKER jacks provide quick, easy connection for two 8 Ohm
speakers.

CONSTRUCTION

Solid plywood construction, space-age aluminum chassis and a modern power supply all add
up to make the PA series the best-built and most lightweight, compact pro mixers available.
Technical advances like SMT (surface mount components) and incredible 24-Bit DSP ensure
that they are the best sounding and most reliable compact mixers as well.
