User manual CARVIN 1283P

[. . . ] xxxxxx USA 1283 Congratulations on your selection of the 1283 loudspeaker. The 1283 vented, 300 watt 3-way speaker enclosure will exceed the power and output of the competition and it will sound better because of its superior design featuring a computer optimized cabinet, crossover and the Pro Series speaker components. We realize that for a loudspeaker to sound its finest, it must be a system of precisely aligned components. [. . . ] To help control feedback, keep the speakers in front of the microphone. For greater coverage, add a second speaker system 20° to 30° off axis. 1283 FREQUENCY RESPONSE 100 dB spl 95 90 85 80 20 Frequency 100 500 1k Hz 5k 10k 20k MODEL 1283 SPEAKER SYSTEM SPECS: Frequency Response: Useable Low Frequency Bandwidth: Power Handling: Recommended Amp: Sensitivity: Coverage Angles: Nominal Impedance: Crossover Type: Input & Output Connectors: BIAMP Support: Horn Driver Protection: Woofer Enclosure Type: Enclosure Covering: Dim/Wt: Warranty: Optional Cables: Optional Vinyl Cover: 60 Hz to 19 kHz ±3 dB 50 Hz (-10 dB) 300 watts Continuous Program Power 75 to 500 watts 100 dB SPL, 1 Watt @ 1 meter 90° Horizontal, 45° Vertical 8 C1283 Constant Voltage Two 1/4", two Twist-LokTM Yes--Panel Switch Yes Vented Box Black DuratuffTM 20"W x 14"D x 26"H, 68 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 1283P 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. 1283P Read general information about the 1283 enclosure for specs, warranty and precautions on the other side.
