SW1802

Congratulations on your selection of the SW1802 Sub Woofer System. The SW1802 is the finest sub-woofer enclosure that Carvin has ever produced. Perfect for bands, DJ’s, and permanent installations. From tight, punchy upper-bass to earth shaking sub-bass, the SW1802 can fulfill any professional sound reinforcement requirement easily. These monsters are easily moved about by one person because of the heavy duty casters and dual top-mounted handles. The built-in sub woofer crossover does an excellent job eliminating all upper frequencies (can be switched out for bi-amping or tri-amping directly to the drivers). Compatibility with any amp is assured with high current SPEAKON™ twist-on connectors and standard 1/4” phone jacks.

RECEIVING INSPECTION

INSPECT YOUR SPEAKER FOR ANY DAMAGE which may have occurred during shipping. If any damage is found, please notify the shipping company & CARVIN.

SAVE THE CARTON & ALL PACKING MATERIALS. In the event you have to re-ship your unit, always use the original carton and packing material. This will provide the best possible protection during shipment. CARVIN and the shipping company are not liable for any damage caused by improper packing.

SAVE YOUR INVOICE. It will be required for warranty service if needed in the future. SHIPMENT SHORTAGE. If you find items missing, they may have been shipped

separately. Please allow several days for the rest of your order to arrive before inquiring. RECORD THE SERIAL NUMBER on the enclosed warranty card or below on this manual

for your records. Keep your portion of the card and return the portion with your name and comments to us.

SUGGESTIONS FOR OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE

Keep the speakers in front of the microphone. Never direct the microphone towards the speaker. For greater coverage, add a second speaker system.

REAR CONNECT PLATE

Two professional twist-lock SPEAKON™ connectors and two standard 1/4” phone jacks are featured. Use these connectors for connecting to the power amp and daisy chaining to an additional speaker system.

SPEAKER CABLES

The PH50 is our standard cable when purchasing a complete sound system. These cables feature 1/4” plugs and heavy 16 gauge copper wire. The PH50 is adequate for lengths up to 50’ under normal use. You can DAISY-CHAIN up to one additional speaker per cable by using the unused 1/4” 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 its recommended impedance.

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.
