CARVIN 805 Instructions

CARVIN ENGINEER DATA
Congratulations on your selection of the 805 10" 2-way loudspeaker. The 805 is
ideal for use in small clubs or halls as a sound reinforcement loudspeaker. The 805
includes a built-in recessed bottom insert for the convenience of adding a speaker
stand. With 200 watt power handling, the 805 is an excellent choice when portabili-
ty and performance are of equal importance.

RECEIVING INSPECTION

INSPECT YOUR SPEAKER FOR ANY DAMAGE which may have occurred during ship-
ping. 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 pos-
sible 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 manu-
al for your records. Keep your portion of the card and return the portion with your name
and comments to us.

SUGGESTIONS FOR OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE

Raise the enclosure to the ear level of your audience for greater coverage. To help
control feedback, use a graphic equalize if available. Keep the speakers in front of the
microphone. Never direct the microphone towards the speaker. For greater coverage,
add a second speaker system 20° to 30° off axis.

SPEAKER CABLES

The PH50 is our standard cable when pur-
chasing a complete sound system. These
cables feature 1/4" plugs and heavy 16
gauge copper wire. These cables are ade-
quate for daisy chaining up to 100' 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.
See Typical Loudspeaker Impedance Configurations.

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 driv-
ers causing failure which is not covered under warranty.

WARRANTY

CARVIN loudspeakers are covered by a ONE year limited warranty unless otherwise
stated. Warranty coverage is limited to original manufactures defects only. WAR-
RANTY DOES NOT COVER: 1) Opened or burned voice coils. 2) Torn cones caused by
improper packing or abuse. 3) Damage from rain, moisture, ETC. When returning

NOT stuff paper into the driver(s). Return pre-paid by UPS. Include your address and
description of the problem. Your driver(s) will be returned COD for the cost of ship-
ping and reconditioning if not covered under warranty.
