low-end system. Designed for both permanent and portable

Description

The PM12 incorporates premium components
housed in a rugged water resistant enclosure,
designed for crystal clear sound in small to medium
size venues. The high power drivers feature large
magnet structures for high efficiency producing
more output per watt. The enclosure is made of
molded virgin polypropylene that won’t chip or
crack. The woofer is protected by a heavy gauge
steel powder coated grill. Carvin’s HF driver protec­tion uses a self leveling PTC thermistor circuit to
protect the HF driver from excessive power. The
circuit resets as soon as the high frequency content
is back to normal levels. Two combination Speakon

- ¼” input jacks allow for versatile connections and
chaining of speakers. Rubber foot pads on the bot­tom interlock with receptacles on the top for stack­ing two PM12’s. The bottom pole mount cup offers
universal mounting to pole stands or SS10 wall
mounts. For installations, 4 fly points allow the
PM12 to be hung or use the optional LMUB
brackets.
