FULL RANGE MODE:

If only one speaker is being used (or multiple full range speakers) connect it to the AMP 1 or the AMP 2 phone jacks. The internal crossover should be set to the FULL RANGE mode, since it will not be used in this application.

INP UT C O N N ECTI O NS:

Inputs are provided for both passive and active basses. Instruments with internal pre-amps should be connected to the A C T I V E input jack. Connect your instrument to the input of the amplifier with a high quality shielded guitar c a b l e .

SETTING GAI N :

T h e G A I N knob should be adjusted so that the C L I P i n d icator LED rarely flashes when playing. It is ok for the C L I P LED to occasionally softly illuminate with the dynamics of your playing. But if the LED gets bright or stays on while you are playing, reduce the G A I N s e t t i n g . T h e B L E N D control sets the mix of the hybrid tube prea m p .

SETTING THE CROSSOVER FREQUENCY:

When operating the amp in a bi-amp configuration the B I AMP / FULL R A N G E selector switch must be set to the out

position to engage the internal crossover. The crossover frequency can now be set by rotating the F R E Q adjust knob.

SETTING TH E P O WE R A M P L EV EL S :

The individual P O W E R A M P C O N T R O L knobs set the output level of the internal stereo power amps. When bi-amping these controls are used to balance the volume levels of the low frequency and high frequency speaker cabinets. The POWER AMP CONTROL k n o b s should be used to set the relative levels of the two power amps. For overall volume changes use the V O L U M E k n o b .

REPLACEMENT PARTS GUIDE

M A I N T E N A N C E

Carvin’s Red Line Series amplifiers have been designed to require very little user maintenance. However, use caution to avoid spilling liquids or allowing any other foreign matter inside the unit. The internal 12AX7A vacuum tube requires no routine maintenance and should last for many years. To replace a bad tube disconnect the AC power cord from the electrical outlet and remove the top cover. Remove the bad tube by gently wiggling it side to side while pulling up until it comes free. Now insert a known good tube into the socket and reinstall the top cover. The 12AX7A is a very popular tube in guitar amplifiers which any local music store should be able to supply. Equivalent replacements for this tube are: 12AX7, 7025, and ECC83.

1. INPUT GROUP

Two 1/4” phone jacks are provided to accommodate both PASSIVE and ACTIVE instru- ments. The GAIN knob is used to set the input level, and the BLEND knob controls how much signal is mixed through the vacuum tube. The red CLIP LED indicates when the input is close to clipping.

2. PRE SHAPE EQ.

Three bands of user selectable voicing allow quick and easy tonal changes and provide a good starting point when setting up the eq..

3. MAIN EQ.

HIGH and LOW shelving Eq., plus a parametric style Mid provides maximum tone control.

4. COMPRESSOR

Studio quality compressor / limiter with adjustable T H R E S H O L D a n d R A T I O c o n t r o l s and a LED to indicate when compression is taking place.

5. NOISE GATE

Integrated noise gate with input sensing and output gating, and gated indicator LED.

FRONT PANEL FEAT U R E S

6. ELECTRONIC CROSSOVER

Adjustable electronic crossover to select bi-amp crossover frequency. B I - A M P / F U L L RANGE selector switch to set the amplifiers operating mode.

7. GRAPHIC EQ.

Nine bands of graphic equalization optimized for the bass guitar. The Eq. can be placed into or out of the circuit remotely with optional FS22 footswitch, or with the front panel override switch. A yellow LED indicates the status of the of the graphic Eq., and a green LED indicates the status of the effects loop.

8. OUTPUT GROUP

The output group controls how your amp interfaces with other components and speakers. The VOLUME control sets the overall volume of the amp. The POWER AMP CONTROL knobs provide precise control over each individual amp and allows for balancing of the low and high cabinets when biamping. A front panel mounted phones jack is provided for practicing or as a convenient place to hook up a tuner.

9. POWER

ON / OFF switch and power indicator LED. Push this switch to the up position to turn the amplifier on. If the power indicator LEDis on but no sound is coming out of the speakers, the amp may have gone into one of its protection modes. To reset the amp turn the power off and allow it a few minutes to cool down then turn the amp back on. If the problem persists check for a bad speaker cable or damaged speaker.

POWER AMP PROTECTION

The R600 contains circuitry to provide a complete level of protection to its internal power amplifiers. The amp will go into an auto diagnostic mode every time it is switched on. At turn on the fan will run at a high speed and the speaker output jacks will be muted while the protection circuitry checks the amplifier for possible fault conditions. Then if there are no short circuits on the speaker outputs and the amp is not overheated, the amplifier will be turned on. If the output load draws excessive current, such as when a speaker cable short circuits, the amp detects this danger and mutes the shorted channel. The channel will remain muted until the power to the amplifier is turned off. Replace the bad cable and re-apply power to the amplifier. The amp may also go into protection if severe environmental or abusive loading conditions cause it to overheat. In this case turning the amplifier off and then on again will not reset the mute. The amp will have to cool off first. Leave the amp on so that the internal fan will help to cool the unit more quickly. Once the amplifier has cooled down it will turn itself back on. If the amplifier goes into and out of protection every few minutes then the problem is most likely overheating. If this occurs check for adequate ventilation and relocate the amplifier if necessary.

RED LINE SERIES AMP

TO DEDICATE ONE OF THE RED LINE'S INTERNAL POWER AMPS TO EXTERNAL EQUIPMENT. SET THE AMP TO FULL RANGE MODE AND PATCH INTO ONE OF THE STEREO RETURNS. THE VOLUME OF THIS RETURN CAN NOW BE CONTROLLED WITH THE APPROPRIATE POWER AMP CONTROL KNOB, ON THE FRONT PANEL.

The R600 bass amp contains a stereo power amplifier. This makes it possible to utilize one of the internal amps to power external equipment. To do this the amp must be set to full range mode since the bass guitar will be using only one of the power amps. Now an external piece of gear (drum machine, tape deck, etc.) can be patched into one of the STEREO RETURNS. The POWER AMP CONTROL knobs on the front panel will control the volumes of the patched equipment and the bass guitar.

1. INPUT GROUP

Two 1/4” phone jacks are available for connecting all A C T I V E a n d P A S S I V E bass guitars to Carvin’s Red Line Series amps. The P A S S I V E input is to be used with bass guitars with standard high impedance pickups. This is a high impedance input, and offers 12db more gain than the A C T I V E input jack. The A C T I V E input is to be used with instruments that contain on board pre amps. The C L I P LED indicates when the front end of the amplifier is clipping. The C L I P i n d i- cator LED starts to illuminate 3dB before clipping and can be a useful reference for setting the input G A I N o f the amplifier. It is ok for the C L I P indicator to occasionally lightly flash while playing, but it should not get bright or stay on for extended periods of time. The G A I N control knob sets the input gain of the amplifier. This knob is used in conjunction with the tube B L E N D knob to set the amount of soft tube overdrive available from the tube pre amp. It is perfectly normal for the G A I N knob to be set at the full counter clockwise position (-12 dB). The B L E N D knob is used to select how much signal to mix through the tube, and how much to send around the tube. When this control is set fully clockwise all of the instruments signal is being sent through the vacuum tube. The amount of tube saturation can be adjusted with the G A I N control. Full clockwise on the G A I N control is maximum saturation.

Note: It is important to remember that the blend control simply mixes tube saturation with the normal input signal. This control does not effect the intensity of the tube saturation. To increase the intensity of the overdrive bring up the gain control knob.

2. PRE SHAPE EQ.

T h e PRE SHAPE eq is useful for dialing up a certain sound quickly and easily. The LOW BOOST switch pro- vides a 6dB boost at just under 100Hz. This is useful for adding some heft to the bottom end without bringing up the lower midrange. The MID SHIFT switch offers two different scooped mid selections. In the out position the amp has a 7dB cut at 400Hz. Depressing this button lowers the cut frequency to 125Hz and increases the amplitude of the cut to -12dB. The HI BOOST switch offers a 6dB boost at 6Khz. This can provide good high frequency compensation when using only 15” or 18” speakers.

TYPICAL EFFECTS HOOKUP

EFFECTS HOOK UP

The Red Line Series bass amplifiers offer a lot of flexibility when connecting to external signal processing or recording gear. The main effects loop “EFF LOOP”offers a footswitch selectable loop which lies directly after the main eq. and just before the graphic eq.. To use this loop connect the send “SND” 1/4’’ phone jack to the input jack of the effects unit, and connect the return “RTN” 1/4” phone jack to the output jack of the effects unit. The FS22

footswitch should be connected to the jack on the back panel marked “FOOT SW”. The

FS22 will allow you to remotely engage and disengage the nine band graphic eq. and the effects loop. Note: the FS22 is not required to use the graphic eq. or the effects loop. The “PRE AMP” out XLR jack offers a balanced signal feed to send to recording or sound reinforcement equipment. This feed can be selected pre or post eq and compression. Press the

LINE / DIR switch to the in position for a direct feed from the instrument. Set the LINE /

DIR to the out position to include the Red Line’s signal processing. A ground lift switch is

provided to break the ground on the XLR output in order to tame problem ground loop situations. Press the GND / LIFT switch to the in position to lift the ground on this output.

3. MAIN EQ.

The main Eq. consists of a low shelving control, a sweep midrange control and a high shelving control. T h e L O W c o n t r o l provides the overall shaping of the low frequencies, as shown in FIG. 1. The action of this control has been carefully matched to the response of the bass guitar, and provides the player with powerful control over the frequency range

most critical to the sound of the instrument. The MID SWEEP controls perform as a semiparametric eq. over the mid frequency range. The GAIN knob provides a boosting or cutting action at a relatively narrow band of frequencies. When the GAIN knob of the MID SWEEP control is set to “0” the mid sweep will have no effect. To boost or cut a specific frequency rotate the G A I N k n o b clockwise or counter clockwise respec-

tively, as shown in FIG. 2. The FREQ control knob is used to select the center frequency where the boosting or cutting will occur. The best way to become familiar with the MID SWEEP control is to set the G A I N knob at either full cut or full boost and rotate the

F R E Q k n o b over its range of frequencies, see FIG. 3. Listen to the results and experiment with different levels of cut and boost. The MID SWEEP eq. is a powerful sound shaping tool which usually requires some practice to get the best results. The H I G H c o n t r o l knob is designed to cut or boost the high frequencies of the bass guitar. The response of this control is shown in FIG. 4. Boosting with this control is useful for bringing up the very highest harmonics of the bass,

which is especially useful when slapping or popping. Note: boosting the high frequencies can result in increased white noise (hiss), especially when using speakers that include tweeters. The Red Line Series bass amplifiers contain a very powerful eq. section, so it is important to remember that too much or improper equalization can give the bass a unnatural or even an unpleasant sound. Experimentation is the key to finding how each control affects the overall sound. With a little practice you should have no problem finding the sound you are looking for.

RSP BASS PRE-AMP

F-1200 POWER AMP

TYPICAL RSP BI-AMP SETUP

RSP BI-AMP HOOK UP

The RSP bass pre-amp must be connected to a separate stereo power amplifier in order to run a bi-amp configuration. The AMP 1 (LOW FREQ) a n d AMP 2 (HIGH FREQ) 1 / 4 ” phone jacks should be connected to channels one and two of a stereo power amp. The stereo power amplifier will then be connected to the low freq. and high freq. speaker cabinets respectively. The crossover selector switch must be set to the B I - A M P (out) position in order to engage the internal electronic crossover. The crossover frequency is set by rotating the X - O V E R knob on the front panel. The mix of the low and high frequency volume levels are set with the AMP 1 a n d AMP 2 POWER A M P C O N T R O L k n o b s. The power amplifiers individual volume controls can now be used to set to the maximum output level desired.

4. COMPRESSOR

T h e C O M P R E S S O R of the Red Line Series amps incorporates separate T H R E S H O L D a n d R A T I O controls. This two knob compressor is more flexible and precise than a single control unit. The user can dial up the exact amount of compression desired and at what level they want the compression to begin. The T H R E S H- O L D control knob sets the point where the compressor kicks in. In the O F F position the compressor is not engaged and has no effect on the sound. Rotating this control in the clockwise direction lowers the level of where the compressor turns on. The compressor indicator LED shows when this threshold is obtained, thus showing when the compressor is on. The R A T I O knob is used to set the amount of compression once the threshold has been reached. When this knob is swept all the way counter clockwise the unit is set for a mild compression, as the knob is rotated clockwise the compression ratio increases. The range of available compression ratios is 1.3 to 1 in the full counter clockwise position to 5 to 1 in the full clockwise position. The compressor is interactive with the input G A I N knob and the volume knobs on the bass guitar itself. Lowing the volume feeding the compressor will reduce the amount of compression and raising it will result in more compression.

5. NOISE GATE

The integrated noise gate mutes the output of the amplifier when there is no input signal present. To use the GATE connect an instrument to the input of the amp and set the input gain level. Now, with the strings muted raise the T H R E S H O L D control knob until the noise from the instrument is gated off and the red indicator LED illuminates. When the bass is played the G A T E will instantaneously turn off and let the signal through. The integrated noise gate senses for the gate trigger directly after the input GAIN control and gates the signal right before the VOLUME control. This ensures that any noise generated in the EQ. sections, or in external effects connected to the EFF LOOP will also be gated.

6. CROSSOVER

The internal X - O V E R is used to set the amp for a bi-amped configuration. When the B I - A M P / FULL RANGE s e l e c t o r switch is in the out position the amp is in bi-amp mode. To select the crossover frequency rotate the FREQ control knob until the desired frequency is obtained. A bi-amped system allows the user greater control over the high and low frequencies of their stage rig. This allows speakers designed for specific frequencies to be utilized to their fullest potential. Also, the use of separate power amplifiers for each frequency range increases the efficiency of the acoustic output, yielding greater volume levels. See the set up diagrams for more information on how to hook up a bi-amp rig.

TYPICAL BI-AMP SETUP

R600 BI-AMP HOOK UP

The R600 bass amp contains two separate (stereo) power amplifiers. This makes it possible to run a full Bi-amped rig directly off of your bass amp. The AMP 1 (LOW FREQ) 1/4” phone jack should be connected to a low frequency speaker cabinet, usually a 15” or 18” speaker. The AMP 2 (HIGH FREQ) 1/4” phone jack will be connected to a set of high frequency drivers, often a 4x10 box with a tweeter. The crossover selector switch must be set to the B I - A M P (out) position in order to engage the internal electronic crossover. The crossover frequency is set by rotating the X-OVER knob on the front panel. The mix of the low and high frequency volume levels are set with the AMP 1 and AMP 2 POWER AMP CONTROL knobs.

7. GRAPHIC EQ.

The nine band graphic eq. has been designed with the center frequencies most requested by professional bass players. The eq. can be used to fine tune the tonal content of the amps output. Since the graphic eq. is controllable with either the optional F S 2 2

footswitch or the EQ switch on the front panel, it can be used to develop a second sound from the amp. Musicians that play more than one bass on stage will find this useful to get

the sounds they desire out of each of their instruments. The footswitch selectable graphic eq. can also be useful during passages of a song when the bass needs to punch through the mix. A yellow LED indicator located along side of the eq. signifies when the graphic

eq. is in the circuit. A green effect loop LED labeled EFF LOOP indicates when the effects loop is turned on. Note: the EQ switch on the front panel overrides the SELECT switch

on the footswitch. So when the graphic eq. is off on the front panel it can not be turned on with the footswitch.

8. OUTPUT GROUP

The output group determines how the Red Line amplifier interfaces with other gear and

speakers. The VOLUME control sets the overall volume level of the amp, use this control to set the amplifier to the desired listening volume. The POWER AMP CONTROL knobs

deliver precision control over the individual amps. These are used to balance the low and high cabinets when biamping. To set the balance in a bi-amped rig bring up the AMP 1 (LOW FREQ) knob until the desired volume level is reached. Now bring up the AMP 2 (HIGH FREQ) knob until the desired balance between the lows and highs is met. If the volume control is at its maximum position and more volume is needed, increase both P O W E R A M P C O N T R O L knobs by the same amount, so that the mix is unchanged. The POWER AMP CON- TROL knobs can also be used to set the level of two full range speakers. So one speaker can be used as a monitor for the guitar player or drummer and the other speaker as the main bass cabinet. A front panel mounted PHONES jack is provided for practicing or as a place to hook up a tuner. Use high quality headphones with an impedance greater than 100W when connecting to this jack. The phones jack does not interrupt the amplifiers output, so a tuner can be left plugged

into this jack while playing. Note: When using a Tip / Ring (mono) cable to attach gear such as a tuner to the phones jack insert the cable to the first click of the jack.

Page 12

5. STEREO RETURN JACKS

The STEREO RETURN jacks are to be used as stereo effects return locations or as amp patch jacks. These jacks can be used to patch external gear to the internal power amps of the Red Line amps. These jacks can also be utilized in conjunction with the pre-amp out jacks as a full stereo effects loop.

6. FOOTSWITCH

Connect the optional FS22 footswitch here to remotely control the nine band graphic eq and the effects loop. The first button on the FS22 marked SELECT turns the graphic eq on and off, and the second button marked REVERB / EFFECTS turns the effects loop on and off.

7. SPEAKER OUTPUTS (EXCEPT RSP)

The R600 amp contains two 1/4” phone jack speaker output connectors. The AMP 1 (LOW FREQ) jack corresponds to the AMP 1 (LOW FREQ) knob on the front panel, and

the AMP 2 (HIGH FREQ) jack corresponds to the AMP 2 (HIGH FREQ) knob on the front panel. Multiple speakers can be attached to each of the speaker output jacks, so long as the total impedance is not below 4W. In the Red Line RSP model these jacks are used as power amp feeds.

8. AC LINE FUSE

The line fuse is located inside the AC receptacle socket. The fuse can be replaced by removing the AC line cord and wedging a slot head screwdriver under the top to pull out the fuse holder. All Red Line amps are shipped with a spare fuse located inside of the fuse holder cap. Always replace the fuse with a fuse of the same value. For more information refer to the fuse replacement information in the parts lint of this manual.

9. AC LINE CORD

All Red Line Series bass amplifiers are supplied with detachable three conductor line cords. Never defeat the grounding pin of the AC line cord as it is there for your own protection. If you must plug into a two prong outlet use a quality 3 to 2 prong grounded adapter.

1. COOLING VENTS

These vents are for cooling the internal power amplifiers. Provide a minimum of 3” of clearance for adequate ventilation. Blocking the air flow through these vents will cause the amp to thermally protect and turn off. If this happens, turn the power off and allow the amp a few minutes to cool down. Clear the obstruction and reapply the power.

2. EFFECTS LOOP

T h e EFF LOOPsend and return jacks are used to connect external effects into the Red Line’s sig- nal chain. The loop is located after the main eq. and compressor, and before the graphic eq and noise gate. To use the effects loop, connect the “S N D” jack to the input of the effects unit and connect the“R T N” jack to the output of the effects unit. The effects loop can be turned on and off by using the F S 2 2 footswitch. When the footswitch is not connected the loop will default to the on position. The status of the effects loop is indicated on the front panel by a green LED marked “EFF LOOP” .

3. PRE AMP OUT XLR

The PRE AMP out XLR is a balanced output that can be configured in a number of different ways. The LINE / DIR switch is used to select a pre or post pre amp feed. In the “LINE” position the feed is post the pre-amp section of the Red Line amp, and contains all of the signal processing and effects that are being used. The “DIR” position is a direct feed off of the bass guitar and is similar to using a D.I. box. A ground lift switch is also available on the pre-amp out XLR jack. Set this switch for the lowest noise when using this output. When the GND / LIFT switch is depressed the signal ground is lifted from this jack thus eliminating any ground loops between the Red Line amp and the gear it is feeding.

4. HI FREQ AND LOW FREQ PRE AMP OUT JACKS

The split frequency output 1/4” phone jacks add a lot of interconnection flexibility to the Red Line bass amp. These jacks can be used to drive additional power amplifiers or to drive stereo, or frequency selective effects. When the amp is operating in Bi-amp mode the LOW FREQ jack contains only the low frequency material, and the HI FREQ jack contains only the high frequency material, as determined by the X-OVER FREQ selector knob on the front panel. When the amp is operating in full range mode, both output jacks contain the same full range signal.
