1. XLR INPUTS
The XLR input can be used for microphones or as an input from direct boxes or
active intruments.
2. 1/4” INPUT JACKS
The 1/4” input jacks are designed to work with nearly any source, including active
or passive instruments with piezo or magnetic pickups.
3. HI-Z (IMPEDANCE) SWITCH
Pressing the
Hi-Z
switch IN raises the input impedance of the 1/4” INPUT to above
500K Ohms. This allows the full tonal range and dynamics of piezo or magnetic pick-
ups to be heard and can also benefit active pickup systems. If the sound is to bright
for your liking or if there is excess noise, set the Hi-Z switch to the OUT position.
4. GAIN SWITCH
The GAIN switch will increase the sensitivity of the 1/4” and XLR inputs by +20dB.
Set the GAIN switch IN to compensate for instruments or microphones with low
outputs. For low volume situations, or to get the best dynamics from high output
instruments, set the GAIN switch to the OUT position.
5. L-R INPUT (DUAL 1/4”)
The Channel 5
L-R
INPUT consists of two 1/4” jacks for input from a variety of
sources such as keyboards, rhythm machines, amp modelers or other mixers.
Stereo speaker operation requires an extension speaker plugged into the (
R
)
SPEAKER OUTPUT. The PHONES jack retains the stereo signal path.
6. L-R INPUT (STEREO 1/8’)
The Channel 6
L-R
INPUT is an 1/8” jack for input from your MP3 player or other
music source.
Stereo speaker operation requires an extension speaker connected to the (
R)
SPEAKER OUTPUT. The PHONES jack retains the stereo signal path.
7. CHANNEL LEVEL
Use the channel LEVELs to control the volume of each input source, sending the
mix to the MAIN volume control. The GAIN switches on channels 1-4 will also affect
the level. If your sound becomes distorted, reduce the LEVEL or set the GAIN switch
OUT and increase the MAIN volume.
8. CHANNEL EQ CONTROLS
The HI, MID and LOW controls are custom shaped EQ controls designed to allow
adjustment of tone for a variety of instruments and sources. Center “0” is the flat
setting. When a control is turned to the right it boosts the signal content in the
LOW, MID or HI frequency range and when turned to the left reduces the frequency
range. If turning up an EQ control distorts the sound, reduce the channel LEVEL
and increase the MAIN volume or set the channel GAIN switch to OUT.
9. EFFECTS CONTROL (CHANNEL)
The EFFECTS control adjusts the effects level going from the channel to the internal
DSP effects processor. If unwanted distortion is heard from the effects, lower the
channel EFFECTS control and increase the master DSP EFFECTS LEVEL.
10. BLUETOOTH® WIRELESS CONNECTION
The S600B features
Bluetooth®
wireless technology which allows audio playback
from an enabled device. Pairing is available any time the S600B power is ON.
To hear the audio from a
Bluetooth®
enabled device:
1. Reduce the LEVEL for Channel 6 to avoid loud music after connection.
2. Press the
Bluetooth®
switch IN to enable the audio circuit and view LED status.
The blue LED blinks on and off to indicate it is open to pairing.
3. Pair your device with the S600B, which will be seen as “Carvin S600B -_ _ _ _”
The blue LED will be ON continuously when the device is paired.
4. On your device, play the music and turn up the volume to full.
5. Raise the Ch. 6 LEVEL control and the MAIN volume to the desired level.
11. MICS 3-4 PHANTOM POWER SWITCH
The PHANTOM POWER switch provides power to condenser microphones, active
direct boxes or active instruments connected to the XLR input. The red LED will
indicate the PHANTOM POWER is ON. Leave this switch OUT if phantom power is
not required. Note that when running on battery power the phantom voltage may
be reduced, but will be enough for most microphones.
12. USB CHARGE PORT
The USB CHARGE port provides USB power to keep your media player charged.
One device can be powered at a time.
13. MAIN (VOLUME)
Use the MAIN to control the overall volume of the speakers. Reduce the MAIN if
your sound becomes distorted.
With the LINK to MAIN switch IN, the MAIN will also affect the XLR OUT.
14. DSP EFFECTS CONTROLS
The S600B features a DSP effects processor featuring lush effects of ECHO,
REVERB and CHORUS.
Raise the channel EFFECTS control to send the signal from the chosen channel to
the DSP processor. If distortion is heard, lower the channel EFFECTS control and
increase the main DSP EFFECTS LEVEL.
The left EFFECTS control (ECHO-REVERB-CHORUS) selects the effect type and
adjusts time, decay, regeneration and speed settings depending on the effect type.
The DSP EFFECTS LEVEL adjusts the effects level heard at the outputs.
ECHO
: When the EFFECTS control is in the lower 1/3 of rotation it selects the
ECHO effect. The lowest setting is a short “Slapback” with a short, single repeat
delay. Turning the control to the right will increase the length of delay and number
of repeats.
REVERB
: When the control is the middle 1/3 of rotation it selects the REVERB
Helpful hints about using
Bluetooth
®
1. The range of the
Bluetooth®
connection is typically about 20-30 feet, and can
be affected by people or objects between the S600B and the connected device.
2. Keep the connected device close to the S600B to avoid unexpected dropouts
from increased distance.
3. The
Bluetooth®
switch does not enable/disable the paired connection to your
device, it only affects the audio connection to the mixer.
