Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of a new Carver Professional Power Amplifier. It is backed by 
state-of-the-art  engineering  and  manufacturing  techniques  to  bring  you  the  best  in  quality 
craftsmanship and reliable performance. The pm700 and pm950 are specially designed for pro 
sound applications. Their rugged construction and low profile make them ideal for sustaining the
abuses of the road with reliability and space-saving economy. And their accurate sound and ample
power make them ideal for critical studio applications as well. The pm700 is rated at 350 watts per
channel into 4 ohms and 225 watts per channel into 8 ohms. In bridged mono operation it is rated at 700 watts
into  8  ohms.  The  pm950  is  rated  at  475  watts  per  channel  into  4  ohms  and  325  watts  per 
channel into 8 ohms. In bridged mono operation it is rated at 950 watts into 8 ohms. The sophisticated 
protection circuits designed into these amplifiers will protect your system should an unexpected fault occur. They
also  protect  the  amplifiers  from  excessive  temperature,  continuous  current  limiting  and  shorted 
outputs. The balanced input uses a high quality, high common-mode rejection differential amplifier for excep-
tional hum and noise rejection. The sequencing feature allows a rack of amplifiers to be powered up from a
remote location. The daisy-chain connection scheme causes each amplifier to turn on in sequence, preventing the
l a rge  in-rush  current
