Cerwin-Vega CVE-12 Quick Start Guide

Quick Set-Up
The steps below provide a quick reference on how to setup and use a single loudspeaker. A typical
setup will follow the same basic steps.
STEP 1
 Make sure the loudspeaker is unplugged.
 Be sure the power switch is set to the OFF position.
 Turn the LEVEL knob to the lowest level (fully counter-clockwise).
STEP 2
 Place the loudspeaker in the ideal location.
 Connect the source audio equipment OUTPUT to the loudspeaker INPUT. Be
sure the source equipment is powered on and set to a normal output level.
STEP 3
 Connect the power cord to the loudspeaker AC power outlet.
 Set the POWER switch to the ON position and verify that the DSP MODE LED
indicator is illuminated.
 Slowly turn the LEVEL knob clockwise until the sound output is at the desired
level. If there is no sound, check to make sure the source equipment is
providing audio output.
NOTE
When you are done using the loudspeaker, set the POWER switch to OFF BEFORE
removing any cables and turning off the source audio equipment.
Loudspeaker placement
• Never point a microphone directly at a loudspeaker, as this will result in extreme feedback
(unwanted sound). Be sure the loudspeaker is placed away from the front of the
microphone or directly behind the microphone when in a floor monitor position.
• When used with turntables, carefully place the loudspeaker so that any vibrations do not
interfere with the turntable performance and functionality.
• Avoid placing the loudspeaker in the corners or along the walls of a room. This will
increase the low-frequency content of the audio and may result in a muddy and
incoherent sound reproduction.
• Avoid placing the speakers directly on a hollow stage. It is better to place the loudspeakers
on tripod stands or a sturdy table.
• The loudspeaker should be placed two to four feet above the ear level of the audience
since the human body can absorb sound especially at high frequencies. This will make
sure the entire audience can hear the sound system with the best possible clarity.
