CARVIN ENGINEERING DA TA OPERATING MANUAL
R600/R1000 HEAD/RL6815 CYCLOPS /RC210 RED EYE
Congratulations on your decision to purchase the new Red Line Series bass amp. The Red line Series of products represent Carv i n ’s commitment to pro­ducing the state of the art in professional bass technology. All Red Line ampli­fiers offer a hybrid 12AX7 tube pre-amp which gives the player a choice of a clean or vintage sound at the turn of a knob. The light-weight and com­pact design is complemented by heavy duty construction perfectly suited for the rigors of road use. This manual covers the R600 and R1000 head, “Cyclops” and “Red Eye” (combo) amplifiers.
GETTING STARTED QUICKLY
If you are like most players, you probably want to plug in your new amp and get started playing right away. However, with a sophisticated amp like the R600/R1000, the setup must be right or you will experience unsatisfactory results. Before you start, be sure your amp is plugged into the correct AC voltage.
1. Plug your bass guitar into the ACTIVE (bass with preamp) or PASSIVE (bass with no bat­tery) input jack. With your bass full on and playing hard, be sure the CLIP led next to the input jacks is not flashing (very dim flashing is OK) or preamp distortion will result. Use the ACTIVE input if your instrument continues to cause clipping.
2. The INPUT GAIN control should be set at its center “0” position. The master AMP 1 & 2 and VOLUME levels should be set at their center “5” position. If these setting are too loud, then bring all three down proportionally. However, the GAIN control should be kept at “0” for the best signal to noise performance. Note, the GAIN control does not turn the guitar off.
3. Set the COMPRESSOR & GATE to their off position. Read about their function later.
4. Set the LOW, MID SWEEP and HIGH tone controls to their off center “0” position. Adjust later after you are more familiar with the amp.
5. Set the 9 EQ bands to their “0” center positions and adjust later if needed. The EQ switch can also be used to defeat the EQ.
6. Set the guitar’s level about 1/2 and turn the master VOLUME OFF. Now, turn the amp ON and gradually raise the master VOLUME (set the input GAIN at “0” & the AMP 1 & 2 at “5”). Re-adjust the guitar and these masters according to the desired volume. If you require full output, then raise these master controls to 10. Never try to get full power by pushing the input GAIN control to its maximum and keeping the master AMP 1 & 2 and VOLUME below 5.
7. Your tone shaping should start with the PRE-SHAPE filters. You can use the tone con­trols and the 9-band graphic EQ as more tone variation is required. It is not recommended to add a lot of bass if the pre-shape bass filter is used especially at high levels because early clipping can occur. Use moderation when dialing in tone.
8. Use the built-in COMPRESSOR to limit peaks. This will help you to get more power from your amp.
9. Biamping the CYCLOPS combo or any large bass stacks requires careful balancing of the AMP 1 & 2 controls. These amp controls power the woofer and midrange/tweeter inde­pendently. Double check to see that the speaker’s components are plugged into the cor­rect amp jacks. If the cables are reversed (feeding the wrong speakers), or the BRIDGE switch is inadvertently pushed in, or the front BIAMP switch or X-OVER frequency is incor­rectly set, your amp will not perform correctly. Carefully checking these items will help pre­vent service calls.
10. Need more power? Even though the R600/R1000 is a powerful amp, adding more speak­ers is the only way for substantially more output. Every time you double your speakers, your acoustic output goes up by a factor of four. This is far more efficient than trying to add 4 times the power especially when speakers become less efficient when driving them harder. Bridging your amp into a 4 ohm system will give you more output. However, use caution because speakers can be be damaged from its high output.
H o p e f u l l y, this will help you get started. Have fun exploring the many new features and sounds
of the R600/R1000. Take your time because you’re new amp has a lot of potential if properly setup!

DESIGNED FOR TOURING
Every R600 is made from heavy-duty 16 gauge steel that is galvanized before being painted to prevent rust. All internal cabling is neatly tied and harnessed. Every circuit card is MIL SPEC, double-sided, through-hole plated, fire retardant FR-4 glass epoxy. This insures that the solder flows on the top, bottom and through each hole of every component, preventing components from shaking loose. Toroid transformers are used as they are the engineer’s choice for greater power supply current while reducing weight and magnetic “hum” fields.

1. INPUT GROUP
Two 1/4” phone jacks are provided to accommodate both passive and active instruments. The PA S S I V Einput is to be used with bass guitars with standard high impedance pickups. The high impedance input offers 8db more gain than the A C T I V Einput jack. The A C T I V Einput is to be
used with instruments that contain active electronics. The INPUT GAINknob is used to set the input level, and the B L E N Dknob controls how much signal is mixed through the 1 2 A X 7 v a c u u m tube. With your bass full on and the blend control set to the T U B Epostition, you are able to get
mild vintage tube distortion. The red C L I PLED indicates when the input is close to clipping. To avoid clipping, reduce the bass level, G A I Nknob or use the A C T I V E input jack.
2. PRE-SHAPE EQ
The PRE-SHAPE EQ is useful for dialing up a certain sound quickly and easily. The LOW BOOST
switch provides a 8dB boost at just under 80Hz. This is useful for adding some depth to the bottom end without bringing up the lower midrange. The MID SHIFT switch offers two differ-
ent scooped mid selections. In the IN position the amp has a 12dB cut at 250Hz. Depressing
this button raises the cut frequency to 475Hz. TheHI BOOSTswitch offers a 6dB boost at 6kHz.
This can provide good high frequency compensation when using only 15” or 18” speakers.
3. MAIN EQ TONE CONTROLS
The main EQ tone controls consists of a low shelving control, a sweep midrange control and a high shelving control. The LOW control provides the overall shaping of the low frequencies.
The action of this control has been carefully matched to the response of the bass guitar. The
MID SWEEPcontrols perform as a semiparametric EQ over the mid frequency range. The M I D
G A I Nknob provides a boosting or cutting action at a relatively narrow band of frequencies. When
the EQ GAIN knob of the MID SWEEP controls is set to “0” the mid sweep will have no effect. To boost or cut a specific frequency rotate the M I DG A I Nknob clockwise (right) or counter clock-
wise (left) respectively. The F R E Q 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 SWEEPc o n- trol is to set the M I D G A I N knob at either full cut or full boost and rotate the FREQ knob over its range of frequencies. Listen to the results and experiment with different levels. The M I D
S W E E P E Q is a powerful sound shaping tool which usually requires some practice to get the
best results. The HIGH control knob is designed to cut or boost the high frequencies of the bass guitar. 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 hiss, especially when using tweeters. This is normal.
4. COMPRESSOR
The C O M P R E S S O Rof the Red Line Series amps is designed to limit the peaks so the volume level is more constant. This allows greater power to your speakers preventing the power amps
from clipping. The R600/R1000 two knob compressor with T H R E S H O L Dand R AT I Oc o n t r o l s 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 com-
pressor has no effect on the sound. Rotating this control in the clockwise direction lowers the level where the compressor turns on. The compressor indicator LED shows when this thresh-
old is obtained, thus showing when the compressor is on. The R AT I Oknob is used to set the
amount of compression once the threshold has been reached. When this knob is swept all the way counter clockwise (left) the unit is set for a mild compression. As the knob is rotated clock­wise (right) the compression ratio increases. The range of available compression ratios is 1.3 to 1 in the full counter clockwise position and 5 to 1 in the full clockwise position. The compres­sor is interactive with the input gain knob and the volume knobs on the bass guitar itself. Lowering
the volume feeding the compressor will reduce the amount of compression and raising it will result
in more compression. To get a tight limiting sound which is often nice for slap style playing, set the R ATIO control to the full clockwise position and bring up the THRESHOLD knob until the desired
reduction is realized.
5. NOISE GATE
The noise G AT E reduces the noise caused by the bass pickups. To use the G AT E , mute the
strings with your hand and raise the T H R E S H O L D control knob until the amp’s noise is turned off and the red LED illuminates. The G AT E will turn the amp on as the bass is played. The
noise gate senses the guitar. This alllows the INPUT GAIN and MASTER VOLUMESto be adjusted
independently of the gate setting. Only your guitar affects the setting.
6. ELECTRONIC X-OVER
The electronic X - O V E Ris used to set the amp for a bi-amped configuration. When the B I - A M P
/ FULL RANGE selector switch is in the OUT position, the amp is in the bi-amp mode. To select
the crossover frequency, rotate the F R E Q control knob until the desired frequency is obtained
(800 Hz is recomended). 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.
7. GRAPHIC EQ/EFFECTS LOOP
The nine band graphic EQ has been designed with the center frequencies most requested by
professional bass players. This E Qcan 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 E Qs w i t c h 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 green LED indicator located along
side of the EQ signifies when the graphic EQ is working in the amp.
The yellow effect loop LED labeled EFF LOOP indicates when the effects loop is turned on. Note: the E Q switch on the front panel overrides the S E L E C T switch on the footswitch. So when the graphic EQ is off on the front panel it cannot be turned on with the footswitch.
8. OUTPUT GROUP (AMP CONTROLS, BIAMPING & JACKS)
The output group determines how the Red Line amplifier interfaces with other gear and speak­ers. The master VOLUME control sets the overall volume level of the amp. The P O W E R A M P CONTROL 1 & 2 knobs control the final volume to the individual amps. These are used to bal­ance the low and high cabinets when bi-amping or stereo signals. To set the balance in a bi­amped 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 V O L U M E control is at its maximum position and more volume is needed,

R600/R1000 BI-AMP HOOK UP
The R600/R1000 bass amp contains two separate (stereo) power amplifiers. This makes it possible to
run a full Bi-amped rig directly off of your R600/R1000.
The AMP 1 (LOW FREQ) 1/4” output jack should be connected to a low frequency speaker cabinet, usu-
ally a 15” or 18” speaker. The AMP 2 (HIGH FREQ)
1/4” output jack should be connected to a set of mid/high frequency drivers, often a 4x10 box with a t w e e t e r. 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 Rknob on the front panel, 800 Hz is recommended. The mix of the low
and high frequency volume levels are set with the A M P
1 and AMP 2 P O W E R A M P C O N T R O L k n o b s .

Caution must be used or damage could result to your speakers because of excess power. The minimum impedance from these two jacks are 8Ω from each jack or 4Ω from one jack. Lower impedance will cause the amp to go into protect mode. Reset by turning amp off for 1 minute and on again.

unchanged. These 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 P H O N E Sjack is provided for practicing or as a place to hook up a tuner. Use high quality headphones with an impedance greater than 100Ω 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. When using a Tip / Sleeve (mono) cable to attach gear such as a tuner to the phones jack, insert the cable to the first click of the jack.
9. POWER / PROTECT RESET
O N / O F F switch and power indicator LED. Push the upper portion of the power switch 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 for one minute and then turn the amp back on. If the problem persists check for a bad speaker cable, damaged speaker or blocked rear fan intake.
REAR PANEL CONTROLS
10. 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 the speaker relays off. If this happens clear the obstruction first, keep the power on and turn the guitar volume down allowing the amp to cool. The amp will engage the speaker relays when cooling conditions return to normal.
11. EFFECTS LOOP
T h e EFF LOOP send and return jacks are used to connect external effects into the Red Line’s signal chain. The loop is located after the main EQ, compressor and noise gate and before the graphic EQ. To use the effects loop, connect the “ S N D ” jack to the input of the effects unit and connect the “ RT N ” jack to the output of the effects unit. The effects loop can be turned on and off by using the F S 2 2footswitch. When the footswitch is not connected, the loop will default to the O N position. The status of the effects loop is indicated on the front panel by a yellow LED marked “EFF LOOP” .
12. PREAMP / DIRECT OUT XLR
The P R E A M PXLR 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 “ L I N E ” p o s i t i o n , the feed is post the preamp section of the Red Line amp and contains all of the signal pro­cessing and effects that are being used. The “ D I R ” position is a direct feed off of the bass guitar and is similar to using a D.I. box at the input jack. A ground lift switch is also available on the preamp 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 preamp out and the gear it is feeding.
13. PREAMP OUT JACKS (HI FREQ & LOW FREQ)
The PREAMP 1 & 2 OUT 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 mate- rial, 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. Use the front AMP 1 & 2controls for level adjustments.
14. STEREO RETURN JACKS
The STEREO RETURNjacks are to be used as stereo effects returns or as an AMP PAT C Hj a c k . 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.
15. FOOTSWITCH
Connect the optional F S 2 2 footswitch to remotely control the nine band graphic EQ and the effects loop. The first button on the F S 2 2 marked S E L E C T turns the graphic EQ on and off, and the second button marked REVERB / EFFECTS turns the effects loop on and off. Any stan- dard footswitch with a stereo plug will work.
16. SPEAKER OUTPUTS
The R600/R1000 amp contains two 1/4” speaker output connectors, one for each amp. The AMP 1 (LOW FREQ) jack corresponds to the AMP 1 (LOW FREQ) knob on the front panel. 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 2Ω per jack.
17. BRIDGE SPEAKER OUTPUTS
The R600 produces 600 watts (bridged mono) into a 4Ω load or 500 watts into an 8Ω load. The R1000 produces 1000 watts (bridged mono) into a 4Ω load or 700 watts into an 8Ω load. To activate, push the B R I D G Eswitch in and plug the speakers into the BRIDGE ONLY j a c k s .
18. AC CIRCUIT BREAKER
A circuit breaker is provided so that you will never have to replace the fuse. Occasionally the circuit breaker on your amp may have to be reset if high AC voltage surges are present or if the amp is used with excessive loads. Simply push the button to reset.
19. AC LINE CORD
All Red Line Series bass amplifiers are supplied with detachable three conductor line cords. Make sure the cord is securely inserted into the back of the unit. 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.
20. SPEAKER SYSTEM / TWEETERS
Speaker systems such as the RL410T or RL210T that have tweeters with L-Pad controls should be adjusted correctly. Be conservative or excess noise will result.

1) POOR BIAMP SOUND: The speaker cables from AMP 1 (woofers) and AMP2 (tweeters) have been reversed or AMP 1 and 2 level controls are not balanced or the X-OVER has been set at an incorrect frequency (set at 800 Hz).
2 ) NO SOUND FROM AMPS 1 & 2: The rear BRIDGE switch has
been inadvertently pushed in or speakers plugged into wrong jacks.
3) NO HIGH FREQUENCIES: Tweeters or midrange drivers have been damaged or blown from overpowering.
4 ) WEAK BASS: The speaker systems could be wired out of phase
to each other. To correct, reverse the wires on one speaker connector only and your bass response will improve.
5 ) DIR XLR HUM: Try switching the GND LIFT switch IN or OUT
(depending on your use). If hum is not eliminated, then use a 600Ω line input transformer cutting the input ground on the connectors (Pin 3). This isolates the input ground from the AC power ground eliminating a system ground loop.
6 ) REAR CIRCUIT BREAKER TRIPS: High AC voltage surges may
be present. Reset the breaker by pushing the protruding button.
