CARVIN ENGINEERING DATA
The RL115T features our super duty cast frame, 600 watt, 15 inch woofer and a 1"
Titanium HF Driver in a computer tuned, front shelf ported cabinet which is 18
inches deep. High output and tight, punchy bass are easily achieved without
"breaking up" or "bottoming out". Great as a stand-alone unit or as part of a bi-
amped system with our "RL410T or RL210T top cabinets. The enclosure is built
from light weight, yet incredibly strong, poplar plywood and is covered in
bulletproof Duratuff II™ carpet covering.

RL115T BASS SPEAKER SYSTEM
Accepts Speakon™
&1/4" cables

REAR CONNECT PLATE

Two standard 1/4" jacks and two high
current Speakon™ connectors are featured.
One for connecting to the power amp and
the other for connecting to an additional
speaker system.

SPEAKER CABLES

12 gauge Speakon™ speaker cables will provide a secure connection and high
current transfer of power to the speakers. You can also use standard 1/4" speaker
cables instead of the Speakon™ cables provided they are at least 16 gauge. You
can DAISY-CHAIN up to one additional speaker per cable by using the unused
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.

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 drivers causing failure which is not covered under warranty.
