USER MANUAL
The LS Series from Carvin Audio are one of the best
loudspeaker values available, offering superb sound at high
output levels. Your audience will appreciate the crystal clear
highs, high intelligibility in the vocal range and deep solid
bass, making all the difference in your performance. Building
upon the company's long standing reputation for great sonic
performance coupled with proven reliability and solid value,
the LS Series loudspeakers deliver all the features musicians
and mobile DJs demand.
Encompassing main and monitor, 2-way systems, 3-way
systems and subwoofer systems with active and passive
models, the LS Series is ideally suited to address a wide
range of sound reinforcement system requirements from
intimate clubs to large scale, high impact music venues.
Key features include twist-lock and quarter-inch connectors
across all models, steel grills to protect the drivers, recessed
steel handles for easy transport, and high order – low loss
crossovers that ensure accurate reproduction of music
sources. Carvin's LS Series loudspeakers are just what your
audience has been waiting for.
The active LS1801A powered subwoofer takes the guess-
work out of selecting the ideal power source to drive your
subwoofer. The internal amplifier is perfectly mated with the
driver, making setup and operation easier with less gear
to haul. The active crossover can be engaged for 80Hz
or 120Hz, with switchable high pass on the XLR output.
Class-D operation and switchmode power technology keeps
the amp module cool running and lightweight. Built-in limiters
help prevent clipping distortion and protect the driver.
Going one step further, all LS Series loudspeaker enclo-
sures utilize cross grain laminated multi-ply hardwood
construction. Why is this important? Unlike other materials,
multi-ply hardwood construction results in a lightweight, rigid
enclosure with reduced flex and sonic coloration caused by
cabinet resonance, and the added benefit of a more structur-
ally robust enclosure designed to handle the rigors of the
road. The rugged black Duratuff™ covering adds another
layer of protection from dents and scrapes. The Carvin Audio
LS Series loudspeakers look every bit as compelling as they
sound!
