About

the

FX44

Series

Mixers

Section

The

power

amps

compressor

effectively

allows

the

amp

to

achieve

volume

levels

that

could

only

be

reached

by

conventional

amps

rated

at

over

twice

the

power!

When

you

compare

the

power

amp

specifications

of

the

FX44

series

mixers

to

other

products

remember

that

the

power

ratings

will

not

reflect

the

actual

loudness

that

these

mixers

will

achieve

with

real

world

program

material.

Also,

because

of

the

nature

of

CARVIN's

exclusive

"Power

TrackTm"

circuit

it

should

be

noted

that

amplifier

power

cannot

be

measured

accurately

without

first

switching

off

the

compressor

(rear

panel

switch).

The

Power

Track

circuit

coupled

with

the

high

power

MOSFET

amplifiers

provide

an

unbeatable

combination

of

performance

and

reliability.

The

FX44

series

consoles

are

built

using

only

the

finest

components.

Electronically,

all

circuitry

is

designed

for

ultra

low

noise

performance

and

extremely

high

reliability.

An

internal

heavy

duty

power

supply

spares

the

expense

and

inconvenience

of

a

separate

outboard

supply

and

is

designed

in

such

a

way

that

system

noise

is

not

affected.

Not

only

are

the

FX44

consoles

quiet

internally,

but

they

also

effectively

reject

external

noise,

such

as

common

mode

noise

from

microphones.

Each

channel

of

the

FX44

features

a

separate

printed

circuit

card

for

modularity

and

reliability.

These

channel

cards

are

connected

with

highly

reliable

modular

connectors

and

can

be

removed

easily

and

quickly.

Careful

attention

to

signal

routing

and

gain

levels

through

the

computer

ribbon

-type

interconnect

cables

allow

the

FX44's

to

achieve

extremely

low

crosstalk

when

compared

to

other

consoles

(Typically

-65dB

at

1k

Hz.)

The

CARVIN

FX44

series

mixers

are

an

ultra

-reliable

state-of-the-art

console.

They

are

backed

by

CARVIN's

commitment

to

excellence

and

experience

in

building

thousands

of

professional

mixers

as

well

as

speaker

systems,

power

amplifiers,

crossovers,

equalizers,

and

numerous

other

professional

sound

system

products.

The

FX44

series

mixers

were

carefully

engineered

to

be

at

the

forefront

of

modern

mechanical

and

electronic

design.

CARV€N

is

very

proud

of

the

FX44

series

mixers

and

sincerely

wishes

you

the

enjoyment

and

the

satisfaction

that

comes

from

knowing

you

own

"the

best":

"The

FX44

series

mixer!"
