1. LINE IN: XLR AND 1/4” INPUTS
The two XLR and two 1/4” LINE IN connectors allow connection of input signals
from a variety of sources. Only one input connection is required.
If connected to the LINE OUT of the S600B StageMate™, set the LINK to
MAIN switch to IN on the S600B.
The XLR jacks are balanced inputs and the 1/4” input jacks are unbalanced
inputs but will accept balanced signals or cables.
All four inputs sum to mono for the subwoofer speaker and for the LINE OUT
XLR.
For summed mono from stereo sources, connect both Left and Right signals.
These inputs do not accept speaker output levels from amplifiers.
2. LEVEL (VOLUME)
Use the LEVEL to control the overall volume of the subwoofer speaker.
When connected to the S600B StageMate™, start with the LEVEL set to the
middle “S600” range. Play music at a comfortable volume from the S600B
StageMate™, then adjust the LEVEL control on the S610B subwoofer.
Once a good bass balance is acheived, use the MAIN volume on the S600B
StageMate™ to control the overall system including the S610B subwoofer.
3. LINE OUT XLR JACK
The LINE OUT XLR provides a balanced output for going to another S610B or
other systems. The LINE OUT signal combines all LINE IN input signals to mono
and is not affected by the LEVEL control or crossover circuits.
The XLR is protected against Phantom power (DC voltage) on cables coming
from phantom powered mixer inputs. Ground pin 1 of the XLR is lifted to 100
ohms above the chassis ground to prevent hum from grounding issues.
4. POWER SWITCH / LED
The POWER switch turns the subwoofer ON or OFF. The green POWER
LED will light approximately 3 seconds after the POWER switch is turned on.
To charge the S610B from AC power, the POWER switch must be ON. Note
the battery will run the system if AC power is unplugged and switch is ON.
5. AC POWER JACK & FUSE
The AC POWER JACK will accept 90VAC to 250VAC, 50Hz or 60Hz. Plug the
cord into a grounded 3 prong power source. No attempt should ever be made
to use the AC cord without the ground connected.
A locking AC cord (Carvin part# 120V18L7) is supplied. However, a standard
AC cord can be used (for European 230V use a CEE-7 plug cord set).
To detach the cord from the subwoofer, press the release lever on the top of
the cord near the power switch.
The FUSE for AC power is located internally near the AC input. To check or
replace, first turn the POWER switch
OFF
and
remove the power cord
. Remove
the 12 screws from the edge of the control panel. Carefully remove the control
panel from the speaker enclosure.
The AC fuse type is a 5mm x 20mm 250V Slow Blow rated at 5A.
6. CHARGE 12VDC CONNECTOR, LED INDICATOR & FUSE
The CHARGE connector is for charging the S610B internal battery from a
car or other vehicle using an adapter such as our C12VDC power cord to plug
into a 12V car accessory socket. The S610B will charge through the CHARGE
connector whether the POWER switch is OFF or ON. The S610B can be used
while connected to the CHARGE 12VDC connector for continuous use. It is
recommended to start with a full charge.
The battery status LED will indicate GREEN when the battery is at full
charge, OFF when it is slightly drained (OK), and RED when the battery is
LOW.
NOTE: Charging a completely dead battery or running at high volume
requires more power and can drain your vehicle’s battery faster.
The FUSE for the 12VDC power system is located internally near the 12VDC
connector. To check or replace, first turn the POWER switch OFF, and remove
the power cord. Remove the 12 screws from the edge of the control panel.
Carefully remove the control panel from the speaker enclosure.
The battery fuse type is a 6.35mm x 32mm 250V Slow Blow rated at 15A.

BATTERY OPERATION AND CHARGING
The
S610B
subwoofer features a rechargeable 12 volt battery system which
is able to power the unit without connecting to a wall AC socket.
MAXIMIZING BATTERY LIFE:
Run time will vary depending on speaker volume.
The S610B can run for over 2 hours at a loud volume. At lesser volumes the
S610B can run for 4 hours and more. If the CHARGE LED near the power switch
blinks RED or if the sound becomes distorted or intermittent, lower the volume
for better sound and longer play.
CHARGING:
The battery will charge when the unit is powered ON from AC
power, or it can be charged any time through the CHARGE 12VDC connector.
Charge time for a nearly dead battery to full charge is approximately 6 hours.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT:
If battery run time is greatly reduced after many
charge cycles it may need replacement (Carvin part #
B600
).
To replace the
battery first turn the POWER switch
OFF
, and
remove the power cord
. Remove
the 12 screws from the edge of the control panel. Remove the panel from the
speaker enclosure. Disconnect the wires from the battery posts (leave these
wires connected to the circuit board to prevent shorting the battery) and dis-
connect the 4-pin speaker connector from the circuit board. Remove the nut
and wood block holding the battery. Secure the new battery with block and
nut. Connect the wires with the correct
+/-
polarity. If connected backwards
the fuse will blow and need replacing.
Replace the control panel screws by hand to avoid stripping (after repeated use).
