If the blue POWER indicator is on but no sound is coming out of the speakers, the amp may have gone into one of its protection modes. To reset, turn the power off for 10 seconds and then turn it 5 6 back on. If the problem persists, check for a lack of Input signal or a blocked fan intake. 2 2. POWER LED 3 8 The POWER LED indicates the unit is turned on and functioning properly. 4 7 3. SIGNAL LED The SIGNAL LED indicates there is a signal present at the INPUT XLR. 10 4. LIMIT LED The LIMIT LED indicates maximum output of the system is being reached. A flashing 9 LIMIT LED is acceptable, the DSP will reduce peaks to help prevent amp clipping. If the LIMIT LED is continuously ON, reduce the level going in to the INPUT XLR. As with any system, reduce the volume if distortion is heard. 5. EQ MODE button + LEDs The EQ MODE button sets the overall EQ shape for the enclosure. Select NORMAL, ENHANCED or MONITOR mode as indicated by one of the 3 LEDs. NORMAL EQ mode is the flat setting best for live sound. ENHANCED EQ mode is a club or dance playback setting with a minor mid cut and minor bass increase over the flat setting. MONITOR EQ mode is designed for stage monitoring or when coupling two cabinets 11 together, keeping bass frequencies and microphones under control. Use MONITOR mode when using the TRx2000A series as a monitor, for side fills or in very small venues. 6. BASS button + LEDs The BASS mode button sets the BASS response for the enclosure. Select NORMAL, DYNAMIC EXTENSION, or EXTERNAL SUB as indicated by the 3 LEDs. NORMAL Bass mode is the flat setting. DYNAMIC EXTENSION Bass mode extends the low frequency response another 15Hz with a boost in the 35-50Hz range. As the woofers approach maximum output the efffect is reduced by the internal limiter, but will make a difference between bass peaks. 12 EXTERNAL SUB Bass mode rolls off the cabinet at 85Hz to use external subwoofers with your system such as the TRx3018A. 1 7. INPUT/THRU XLR CONNECTORS Connect the INPUT XLR to a signal source, such as the output of a mixer. The THRU XLR can be connected for additional TRx 2000A or 3000A series or other units. 8. INPUT LEVEL The INPUT level control adjusts the overall volume of the speaker. The normal setting is "10" for maximum sensitivity. 9. REMOTE LEVEL (MUTE) CONNECTOR This is a terminal block connector with 5 volt control of volume, typically used in permanent installations. Short the CTL and GND pins to MUTE. 10. PROTECT LED The PROTECT LED indicates one of the protection circuits has activated and no sound will be heard from the amp. To reset the amp, turn the power off for about 10 seconds then turn it back ON. If the PROTECT LED stays lit for more than 5 seconds check for a blocked fan intake. 11. FAN INTAKE/EXHAUST VENTS The TRx2000A series feature a variable speed fan, which runs silent at low speeds. Make sure the fan intake and exhaust vents are free from blockage at all times. 12. AC IN/AC OUT POWER JACKS & FUSE Be sure to plug into the proper voltage using the AC IN jack. A detachable locking power cord is supplied (for European 230V use a CEE-7 plug cord set). Plug the cord into a grounded 3 prong power source. No attempt should ever be made to use the amp without the ground connected. The AC OUT connector can be used to power additional units such as a Trx3018A, powered speaker or any device with 10A or less rating. The FUSE is located internally near the AC input. To check or replace the fuse, first remove the power cord and then remove the amp module from the speaker enclosure and then remove the front panel to access the fuse. The fuse type is a 250V Slow Blow rated at 15A. A locking AC cord (Carvin part# 120V16L7 120V model) is supplied. However, a standard AC cord can be used. To detach the cord from the unit, press the release lever on the side of the cord. LOCKING AC CORD 120V16L7 PRESS TO RELEASE

1. POWER SWITCH (reset)
Push the upper portion of the power switch to turn the system on. If the blue POWER
indicator is on but no sound is coming out of the speakers, the amp may have gone into
one of its protection modes. To reset, turn the power off for 10 seconds and then turn it

2. POWER LED
The POWER LED indicates the unit is turned on and functioning properly.
3. SIGNAL LED
The SIGNAL LED indicates there is a signal present at the INPUT XLR.
4. LIMIT LED
The LIMIT LED indicates maximum output of the system is being reached. A flashing
LIMIT LED is acceptable, the DSP will reduce peaks to help prevent amp clipping. If the
LIMIT LED is continuously ON, reduce the level going in to the INPUT XLR. As with any
