For your records, you may wish to record the following information.
Serial No._____________________ Invoice Date_______________
Accepts Twist-lock & 1/4” cables
REAR CONNECT PLATE
Two standard 1/4" phone jacks and two high current Twist-lock connectors are featured. One for connecting to the power amp and the other for connecting to an additional speaker system.
HORN ATTENUATION SWITCHES
The rear crossover panel features a set of attenuation switches to control the volume of the “Red Eye” horn. This will allow you to turn the horn full on or reduce by 3dB increments to fine tune your treble response.
SPEAKER CABLES
12 gauge Twist-lock speaker cables will provide a secure connection and high current transfer of power to the speakers. You can also use standard 1/4" speaker cables instead of the Twist-Lock cables provided they are at least 16 gauge. You can DAISY-CHAIN up to one additional speaker per cable by using the unused OUTPUT jack (right side) on your speaker jack plate. Be sure to note the total impedance to the amp so it is not lower than it’s recommended impedance. See
Typical Loudspeaker Impedance Configurations.
PRECAUTIONS
1) DO NOT EXCEED THE POWER RATING marked on the rear connect plate. Excessive power will destroy drivers. 2) DISTORTION from power amps will destroy drivers much faster than clean power. 3) WATER, MOISTURE, and DUST are harmful to drivers causing failure which is not covered under warranty.
WARRANTY
CARVIN loudspeakers are covered by a ONE year limited warranty unless otherwise stated. Warranty coverage is limited to original manufactures defects only. WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER: 1) Opened or burned voice coils. 2) Torn cones caused by improper packing or abuse. 3) Damage from rain, moisture, ETC. When returning defective driver(s), remove them from the enclosure to reduce shipping costs. DO NOT stuff paper into the driver(s). Return pre-paid by UPS. Include your address and description of the problem. Your driver(s) will be returned COD for the cost of shipping and reconditioning if not covered under warranty.
