NOTE

ABOUT

SPEAKER

IMPEDANCE

(OHMS)

and

CABLES

As

you

add

more

speakers

to

an

amp,

the

total

impedance

(ohms)

is

reduced.

The

amplifiers

will

drive

an

impedance

of

4ohms

or

higher.

This

means

up

to

TWO

8ohm

speakers,

or

ONE

4ohnn

speaker

for

each

amp.

Speaker

cables

should

be

a

minimum

16

gauge

for

up

to

50ft

(C50S).

CONGRATULATIONS

on

your

purchase

of

Carvin's

XP800L

mixer!

The

XP800L

model

includes

2

built-in

high

power

amplifiers

for

direct

hook-up

to

your

speakers.

Please

read

this

manual

carefully

to

take

all

the

advantages

of

your

new

mixer.

SUPERB

SOUND

is

derived

from

the

extremely

low

distortion,

"high

headroom"

design.

State

-of

-the

art,

low

noise,

balanced

XLR

preamps

from

our

Concert

Series

mixers

provide

common

mode

rejection

of

better

than

78

dB,

which

means

that

any

noise

that

may

come

over

your

cables

is

virtually

eliminated.

Distortion

is

nearly

non-existent

with

THD

below

0.1%

from

input

to

output,

guaranteeing

the

purity

of

your

sound.

Hear

the

difference

-

your

sound

will

not

seem

sterile

or

processed.

It

will

be

dynamically

open

and

transparent

just

like

it

was

meant

to

be!

making

the

simple

to

use,

reducing

errors

during

setup

and

performance.

Its

compact

size

and

weight

of

only

makes

it

the

lightest,

most

mixer

in

it's

class.
