CARVIN ENGINEERING DATA PA410/PA620 POWERED MIXERS | OPERATING MANUAL |
PA620
Congratulations on your purchase of the PA410 or PA620 mixer! These mixers are the culmination of Carvin’s 50 years of knowledge and experience in the pro sound arena. The quality and features included in these powerful little units make them rev- olutionary and unheard of in their price range! Please take the time to review this manual so that you may fully enjoy all the benefits your mixer has to offer.
PRO FEATURES
The PA series mixers give you pro XLR mic preamps, along with 1/4" line inputs on every channel. Phantom power is provided on the XLR inputs for compatibility with high quality condenser mics. Each channel also provides a MONITOR send, a GAIN switch for accom- modating low and high input signals, EFFECTS send and LEVEL control.
ACTIVE EQ
Each channel of the PA series provides a HI and LOW shelving EQ with ±12dB of adjust- ment range featuring an internally optimized midrange circuit, for easy, effective tone adjustments that sound great for vocals.
BUILT-IN POWER AMPS
The amplifiers in the PA series mixers are powerful enough to easily drive your speakers for excellent coverage and clean, punchy sound. The PA410 delivers 100 Watts RMS, while the more powerful PA620 delivers 200 Watts RMS! (Note: Each model is designed to be used with 8Ω speakers (not 4 Ω ). If the relay protection engages after 20 minutes of heavy use (no output from the mixer while the power LED is on), you are using 4Ω speakers. If the mixer goes into protect, let the mixer cool down and it will reset).
24-BIT DIGITAL PROCESSOR
Perhaps the most incredible feature of the PA series mixer is the
MASTER SECTION
The master section of the PA series provides a MAIN volume for controlling your
CONNECTIVITY
The PA series mixers allow easy connections to most related equipment. There is a 1/4" MAIN LINE OUT for sending the main signal to an external power amp or for plugging in headphones. The MONITOR OUT is a 1/4" jack for feeding an external monitor amplifier. RCA TAPE IN and OUT are provided for easy connection to keyboards, tape decks, CD players, MiniDisc, computers, etc. The EFFECTS FOOT SW jack allows the connection of the optional FS22 or equivalent footswitch for turning on or off your effects during per- formances. Two 1/4" SPEAKER jacks provide quick, easy connection for two 8 Ohm speakers.
