User manual CARVIN 1588P

[. . . ] xxxxxx USA 1588 Congratulations on your selection of the 1588 loudspeaker. As the big brother of the 3way 1584, the 1588 Loudspeaker benefits from the same state-of-the-art design and response characteristics, but with one obvious difference--it has twice the size, with twice the components. This translates into an obvious benefit--much more sound output and power with the same extraordinary response as the smaller version. In fact, there isn't any application that this 800 watt 3-way system can't handle, tackling anything from large clubs to outdoor concerts. [. . . ] If any damage is found, please notify the shipping company & CARVIN. In the event you have to re-ship your unit, always use the original carton and packing material. CARVIN and the shipping company are not liable for any damage caused by improper packing. Please allow several days for the rest of your order to arrive before inquiring. Keep your portion of the card and return the portion with your name and comments to us. 1588 FREQUENCY RESPONSE MODEL 1588 SPEAKER SYSTEM SPECS: Frequency Response: Useable Low Frequency: Power Handling: Recommended Amp: Sensitivity: Coverage Angles: Nominal Impedance: Crossover Type: Inputs/Outputs: Bi-Amp Support: Horn Driver Protection: Woofer Enclosure Type: Enclosure Covering: Dim/Wt: Optional Cables: Optional Vinyl Cover: 45 Hz to 19 kHz ±3 dB 34 Hz (-10 dB) 800w Continuous Power 100 to 1200 watts 103 dB SPL, 1 Watt @ 1 meter 90° Horizontal, 45° Vertical 4 C1588 Constant Voltage Two 1/4", two Twist-lokTM Yes--Panel Switch Yes­Relay Dimming Vented Box Black Duratuff IITM 25"W x 19. 25"D x 48. 5"H, 124 lbs.

Use the balanced XLR or 1/4" connectors featured on the rear connect plate. All connectors are wired in parallel. 12dB PAD To start the initial hook up, be sure the 12dB pad switch is in the "IN" position. If your signal is weak, depress the Pad switch to the "OUT" position, which will raise the level of your powered speaker. SOFT LIMITING Unlike other limiters, the SPSTM incorporates an exclusive optoisolater limiter system, which does not add distortion when limiting. Soft limiting starts to occur when you approach the maximum output of your powered speaker allowing you to get more usable power out of your system without severe clipping. However, when you hear distortion, hard clipping or cutting out, reduce the overall level as you have exceeded the system's capacity. POWER/PROTECT When the system has been activated by the power switch, the LED will indicate GREEN. If the system should go into protect, the LED will indicate YELLOW which may occur if; a) one of the internal drivers short or b) if the power amp should require service. AC POWER The 1588P is available in either 120V or 240V models. Every Carvin SPSTM powered speaker is designed to be left on continuously in the case of permanent installations. 1588P Read general information about the 1588 enclosure for specs, warranty and precautions on the other side.
