SPEAKER CABLES
The PH50 is our standard cable when purchasing a complete sound system.
These cables feature 1/4" plugs and heavy 16 gauge copper wire. The PH50 is
adequate for lengths up to 50' 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 it's recommended impedance. See Typical Loudspeaker Impedance
Configurations.
SUGGESTIONS FOR OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE
Raise the enclosure to the ear level of your audience for greater coverage. Use
Carvin's optional SS20 stand. To help control feedback, use a graphic equalizer.
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.
