CARVIN ENGINEERING DATA TR1503 SPEAKER SYSTEM INSTRUCTIONS REAR CONNECT PLATE Two standard 1/4” phone jacks and two Speakon™ connectors are featured. See other side for hookup diagrams. SPEAKER CABLES Our standard cable for speaker hookups is the PH50. This cable features 1/4” plugs and 16 gauge copper wire. The PH50 is adequate for lengths up to 50’ under normal use. You can DAISY-CHAIN up to one additional speaker per cable by using the unused 1/4” OUTPUT” jack (right side) on your speaker jack plate. Be sure to note the total impedance to the amp so it is not lower than it’s recommended impedance. See Typical Loudspeaker Impedance Configurations. Our professional SPK25, SPK50 & SPK100 cables feature Speakon™ lock-on connectors with heavy 4 conductor 12 gauge copper wire. These cables are to be connected in the same way as the PH50 with compatible amps. PRECAUTIONS TR1503 Congratulations on your selection of the 1503 loudspeaker. As one of the finest speaker systems made, the TR1503 will reproduce your music with the purest, most natural sound available. The high powered titanium horn and 8” midrange drivers maintain faithful, clean response even under the most stressful, intense power levels. The computeraided tuned-ported enclosures offer the best frequency response possible from the heavyduty cast frame 15” woofer. The featured Trapezoid enclosure offers a 15° angle off-set on each side for you to stack or hang the enclosures together creating full, gapless coverage. Hookups are easy too, with either 1/4” jacks or professional Speakon™ connectors as a Biamped or full-range system. We recommend our 18’ TR1801 sub-woofer system if you require more bass. RECEIVING INSPECTION INSPECT YOUR SPEAKER FOR ANY DAMAGE which may have occurred during shipping. If any damage is found, please notify the shipping company & CARVIN. SAVE THE CARTON & ALL PACKING MATERIALS. In the event you have to re-ship your unit, always use the original carton and packing material. This will provide the best possible protection during shipment. CARVIN and the shipping company are not liable for any damage caused by improper packing. SAVE YOUR INVOICE. It will be required for warranty service if needed in the future. SHIPMENT SHORTAGE. If you find items missing, they may have been shipped separately. Please allow several days for the rest of your order to arrive before inquiring. RECORD THE SERIAL NUMBER on the enclosed warranty card or below on this manual for your records. Keep your portion of the card and return the portion with your name and comments to us. SUGGESTIONS FOR OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE Raise the enclosure to the ear level of your audience for greater coverage. To help control feedback, use a graphic equalizer. Keep the speakers in front of the microphone. Never direct the microphone towards the speaker. For greater coverage, add a second speaker system 20° to 30° off axis.
