CARVIN S610B User Manual

The S610B powered 10" subwoofer offers extreme portability and
powerful bass in a compact lightweight package. While designed to
integrate perfectly with the S600B StageMate™ portable PA system,
it can add 400 watts of extended low end to any PA system.
Like the S600B StageMate™, the S610B subwoofer can run on AC
power or on it's own internal battery power, and is rechargeable
from either AC power or a 12V car socket. The S610B adds deep
bass to the S600B StageMate™ system while keeping the system
portable and allowing high-power operation where other systems
simply can not go.
The 10-inch high-excursion subwoofer is custom designed to deliver
bass down to 40 Hz and below from a compact enclosure. Built for
professional touring, the cabinet is made from multi-ply Baltic birch,
CNC machined for precise construction, then covered in impact and
weather resistant Duratec™ UV finish.
The S610B subwoofer links to the MAIN volume control of the
S600B StageMate™ for consistent bass balance at any volume. Set
the LEVEL on the S610B sub where it sounds best, then forget it.
The StageMate™ system easily expands by adding a second S610B
sub and S648 extention cabinets driven by the S600B StageMate™.
Advanced compact design and flexible power options in a light
weight and rugged package make the S610B the ultimate portable
subwoofer system.

GETTING STARTED QUICKLY

1. With POWER off, set the LEVEL on the S610B subwoofer to the
center "S600" position. This is the normal setting connecting to the
S600B, providing a safe starting point for any system.
2. Connect the Line Out XLR of the S600B StageMate™ (or other
source) to the LINE IN XLR on the S610B subwoofer.
3. On the S600B StageMate™ set the LINK TO MAIN switch to "IN".
4. Turn ON the S600B StageMate™ (or other source), then turn on
the S610B sub.
5. Play music from the S600B (source) at a comfortable volume level.
Adjust the S610B sub's LEVEL control to blend in the desired level of
subwoofer bass.
If no sound is heard from the subwoofer, turn down the S600B MAIN
and check your connection, the LINK TO MAIN switch and POWER LED.
6. Adjust the EQ controls to your liking. For more bass from the
system, turn up the LEVEL on the S610B subwoofer. Turning up the
BASS on the S600B StageMate™ may produce distorted bass while
the S610B remains clear.
7. Need more volume? Even though the S610B is driven by a power-
ful amplifier, connecting an additional S610B is the best way to get
substantially more bass output. We recommend one S610B for each
S600B with S648 extention.
