1. inpUt/tHRU oUtpUt Use the balanced XLR or 1/4” connectors
featured on the rear control panel. Using a balanced source will reduce noise which
may be picked up by the cable. You may DAISY-CHAIN as many APS systems as
you wish. All connectors are wired in parallel.
2. aps eQUaLiZation The APS powered loudspeakers offer a by pass-
able 3-band mid sweep equalizer for custom tuning to the acoustical environment.
The EQ system is engineered specifically for the APS, featuring a boost and cut range
of ±6dB to prevent radical adjustments that could otherwise compromise the sound
of the system. The Mid-band sweep is particularly useful for enhancing critical mid
range frequencies for stage monitoring or for cutting certain frequencies to compen-
sate for room resonances. Press the “EQ IN” switch to activate the equalizer. The
BLUE LED displays when the EQ is active.
3. LeveL contRoL The LEVEL control adjusts the output volume of the
APS. Start by setting the LEVEL at “0”. Weak input signals can be boosted by set-
ting the LEVEL at “+6”. Strong signals can be reduced by turning the LEVEL toward
“-12”. The RED LED will flash if the internal power amps start to clip. Turn the
LEVEL control down to avoid clipping. Damage to the drivers can result from operat-
ing at a level where the RED CLIP LED is constantly illuminated.
4. poWeR/pRotect/cLip inDicatoR Power up your audio source
first, then turn on the APS with the power switch. When the system is active, the
LED will indicate GREEN. When shutting down turn off the APS first, then turn off
the mixer. If any of the power amps are clipping, the LED will indicate RED and you
should reduce the output level. If the system should go into protect mode, the LED will
indicate YELLOW and the power amps will shut off. This may occur if; a) the system
is overheated due to clipping the power amps for an extended period of time, b) one of
the internal drivers developed a short or c) the power amps require service.
5. poWeR Push this switch to the UP position to apply power to the unit. The
POWER LED will light to show the system is on.
6. ac poWeR Use a standard grounded AC cord. Whenever possible, use
dedicated circuits for powered speakers. The powered speakers are available in
either 120V or 240V models.
7. cRossoveR FReQUency sWitcH The CROSSOVER FREQUENCY
switch selects the crossover point for the APS. The 120Hz out setting is generally
used with small to mid sized speakers in your setup. Almost all 12” and 15” woofers
will benefit from the 120Hz setting. The 80Hz (switch in) setting is generally used
with larger 18” woofers.

Carvin’s APS (Active Powered Systems) amplification packs take the guesswork out
of selecting the ideal power source to drive your loudspeakers. With bi-amped and
tri-amped models designed to handle the most demanding applications, the APS am-
plifiers are perfectly mated with—the LS1502A, LS1503A, and LS1523A—creating op-
timally designed powered loudspeaker systems that are ready for anything you throw
at them. There’s even one APS power pack created specifically to generate the bone
crushing impact of our LS1801A subwoofer. APS-based LS loudspeaker systems make
setup and operation easier as well, with less gear to haul. Feed your mixer’s output
directly to these loudspeaker systems, and you’re ready to rock!
