CARVIN XP800L Operating Manual

CARVIN ENGINEERING DATA
MADE IN THE USA
CONGRATULATIONS on your purchase of Carvin's XP800L mixer! The XP800L
model includes 2 built-in high power amplifiers for direct hook-up to your speakers.
Please read this manual carefully to take all the advantages of your new mixer.
SUPERB SOUND is derived from the extremely low distortion, "high headroom"
design. State-of-the art, low noise, balanced XLR preamps from our Concert Series
mixers provide common mode rejection of better than 78 dB, which means that any
noise that may come over your cables is virtually eliminated. Distortion is nearly
non-existent with THD below 0.1% from input to output, guaranteeing the purity of
your sound. Hear the difference - your sound will not seem sterile or processed. It
will be dynamically open and transparent just like it was meant to be!
LIGHT WEIGHT / EASY TO USE Controls are logically laid out making the XP
Series simple to use, reducing errors during setup and performance. Its compact
size and weight of only 10 lbs. makes it the lightest, most powerful mixer in it's class.
2 HIGH CURRENT "GREEN" CLASS-D AMPLIFIERS produce total of 500 watts
RMS, 750 watts peak. Class-D amps not only run cooler, but are also energy effi-
cient. Use both amps in stereo (250w/250w) for MAIN L and R speakers, or switch
to 250watts for MAIN and 250watts for MONITORS. This is the kind of output power
that maintains the purity and integrity of your sound.
HIGH CURRENT "GREEN" SWITCHMODE POWER SUPPLY conserves power
by operating at higher efficiency. The DC voltage supply is recharged 100,000 times
per second, delivering continuous high current to the power amps.
24-Bit DSP STEREO EFFECT PROCESSOR delivers professional level effects.
You get awesome lush Reverbs, rich Chorus, crisp Delay and Echo, and thick, layered
Flanging – all with full bandwidth and pristine clarity. Effect level is adjustable to your
stage monitors so you can hear yourself with full effects. 256 effect variations
include fully adjustable parameters for damping, decay, depth, speed, regeneration
and time.
ACTIVE 3 BAND CHANNEL EQ provides easy adjustment for the tone you want.
The 80Hz LO frequency controls deliver solid non-flabby bass. A simple adjustment
with the MID band control brings out the best sound for vocals or guitar by affecting
the very important 750Hz frequency range. The 11.5k Hz HI treble control adds
sparkle to your top-end without adding harshness. Both the LO and HI controls are
"shelving", which means they are effective from 20Hz to 20kHz.
DUAL 7-BAND EQUALIZER provides precise adjustments to fine tune your overall
sound and to help control feedback. The stereo (dual) graphic equalizer controls
the main L and R outputs or switch to MAIN/MONITOR with one press of a button.
ENGINEERED TO LAST Every XP Series mixer incorporates a rugged steel chas-
sis with protective side panels. Continuous full power is assured from a high-grade
6063-T5-aluminum heat sink. Sealed controls and switches guard against the out-
side elements while heavy-duty connectors provide a positive connection to your
cables. Hidden deep in the heart of these mixers is the "SMT" Surface Mount
Technology construction that utilizes surface mounted components to prevent parts
from shaking or vibrating loose. Precision 1% tolerances guarantee that your set-
tings will be accurate every time. Fire retardant FR-4 military spec circuit cards fea-
ture double-sided copper construction to guard against noise and radio frequencies
(RF). The XP Series is made in the USA for years of dependable service!
