Overview
CARVIN has been serving the music
community since 1946. From touring
professionals to bands at local clubs,
the heart of every system has been our
consoles. Noted musicians such as Frank
Zappa, Steve Vai & Craig Chaquico, have
used Carvin consoles over the years.
Whether you are a rental company, touring
band, recording artist, nightclub, house
of worship, school or theater, Carvin has
the features and performance you can rely
on night after night.
Improving Your Live Sound
Your decision to own a C Series mixer will
not only be for its ease of use, but also for
its incredible sonic capabilities. Your audi-
ence will quickly notice how everything just
sounds better with clear highs, natural mid
tones and a bass that’s deep and punchy.
Musicians on the stage will appreciate the
clarity they’ll get from their monitors. With
THD less than .01%, every sound will re-
main pure to its source.
Simplicity In Operation
Ease of operation is incredibly important.
The C Series consoles are designed with
the operator in mind. Everything is logi-
cally arranged. Simply plug-in the chan-
nels, adjust the monitor levels and bring
up the main L/R faders and you’re up and
running. If you need EQ (tone changes),
simply dial in the sound you want. The C
Series is designed on a small-scale platform
making it easy to transport. No other console
offers more channels per linear inch.
USB Recording
The USB connectivity allows for ease of
recording using a single cable to record
your L/R stereo mix direct to your com-
puter. The digital interface gives you the
highest quality audio output for record-
ing. Inversely, you can send audio from
your computer into the console via USB.
Set-up playlists on your computer for
hours of automated playback through
your sound system.
Stringent Testing
Our Quality Control Department personally
inspects every mixing console. After the
physical inspection, the most critical and
most important part of QC testing is run-
ning every channel, master section and
connector through Audio Precision™
computers to verify every function. This
means everything meets 100% of its
specifi cations. This is great assurance
that every EQ section, every output deliv-
ers the highest voltages with the lowest
possible THD. The below chart shows that
the THD is actually .002% which is about 5
times lower than our stated THD of .01%.
Construction
The engineering and design is what you’d
expect from Carvin’s high-end manufac-
turing. Ultra low-noise, high slew rate IC’s
for exceptional sound. Sealed controls
and switches guard against the elements
while the “SMT” Surface Mount Technology
construction ensures the integrity of each
component. The rugged chassis incor-
porates the integral SwitchMode™ 90V-
260V 50-60 Hz power supply.
Made in the USA Matters
With most companies turning to off-shore manufactur-
ers, Carvin has made the commitment to make mixing
consoles in the USA. We feel it’s so important that you not only
receive the very best workmanship, raw materials but the highest
standards in quality control. Not only do we strive for perfection by
making everything in San Diego at our 80,000 square foot
factory, but we’re committed to saving jobs in America.
