FET Series Power Amplifiers About the FET Series Amps Section 3 Carvin utilizes only premium grade components in the construction of the FET amplifiers. All components are screened by quality control checks during assembly, bench testing, and final testing. Carvin uses a special computer test system (ATE) to perform over 100 diagnostic tests on every FET amp before it leaves production. This includes output power, protection systems, THD, slew rate, and a host of other performance tests. In addition to this computerized testing, each unit is stress tested and undergoes an 8 hour burn-in period. Carvin's goal is to ensure you of quality without compromise. Although the FET series amplifiers are designed to handle loads and endure conditions that home high fidelity amplifiers are not designed for, the FET amplifier's specifications and sonic performance typically exceed even the best hi-fi amps. Consequently the FET Series amps are an excellent choice for critical listening requirements such as recording studio control room monitor amplifiers or very high quality home stereo systems. Many of Carvin's artist endorsers have switched to FET Series amps for use on stage after hearing the amps auditioned in their rack systems. These amps excel at reproducing the fine musical nuances of all program material but especially the rich dynamics of live sound. The extremely rugged construction of the FET amplifiers allows them to tolerate the severe demands of road use with touring sound systems. The chassis is constructed with heavy 14 gauge steel side panels and with a standard 19" x 5 1/4" front rack panel milled from .187" thick aluminum. It is finished in a durable brushed black anodize process. All circuit boards are the highest quality epoxy fiberglass with moisture-proof epoxy overplating. Only the highest quality (factory inspected) electronic components arc used. These amps are rugged and are built to last! As you read through the front and rear panel features you will find even more examples of Carvin's uncompromising approach to designing the FET series amplifiers. The superior sonic quality and reliability of the Carvin FET series amplifiers coupled with Factory Direct sales enables Carvin to offer the FET series amplifiers at a competitive price....while providing superior performance. 3-3
