SPEAKER CABLES
Our standard cable for speaker hookups is the PH50. This cable features 1/4”
plugs and 16 gauge copper wire. The PH50 is adequate for lengths up to 50’ under
normal use. You can DAISY-CHAIN up to one additional speaker per cable by using
the unused 1/4” OUTPUT” jack (right side) on your speaker jack plate. Be sure to
note the total impedance to the amp so it is not lower than it’s recommended
impedance. See
Typical Loudspeaker Impedance Configurations.
Our professional SPK25, SPK50 & SPK100 cables feature Speakon™ lock-on
connectors with heavy 4 conductor 12 gauge copper wire. These cables are to be
connected in the same way as the PH50 with compatible amps.
PRECAUTIONS
1) DO NOT EXCEED THE POWER RATING marked on the rear connect plate.
Excessive power will destroy drivers. 2) DISTORTION from power amps will destroy
drivers much faster than clean power. 3) WATER, MOISTURE, and DUST are
harmful to drivers causing failure which is not covered under warranty.

INSTRUCTIONS
TR1502
Congratulations on your selection of the 1502 loudspeaker. As one of the finest
speaker systems made, the TR1502 will reproduce your music with the purest, most natural
sound available. The high powered titanium horn and 15” woofer response even under the
most stressful, intense power levels. The computer-aided tuned-ported enclosures offer the
best frequency response possible from the heavy-duty cast frame 15” woofer. The featured
Trapezoid enclosure offers a 15° angle off-set on each side for you to stack or hang the
enclosures together creating full, gapless coverage. Hookups are easy too, with either 1/4”
jacks or professional Speakon™ connectors as a Bi-amped or full-range system. We
recommend our 18’ TR1801 sub-woofer system if you require more bass.
RECEIVING INSPECTION
INSPECT YOUR SPEAKER FOR ANY DAMAGE which may have occurred during
shipping. If any damage is found, please notify the shipping company & CARVIN.
SAVE THE CARTON & ALL PACKING MATERIALS. In the event you have to re-ship
your unit, always use the original carton and packing material. This will provide the best
possible protection during shipment. CARVIN and the shipping company are not liable
for any damage caused by improper packing.
SAVE YOUR INVOICE. It will be required for warranty service if needed in the future.
SHIPMENT SHORTAGE. If you find items missing, they may have been shipped
separately. Please allow several days for the rest of your order to arrive before inquiring.
RECORD THE SERIAL NUMBER on the enclosed warranty card or below on this
manual for your records. Keep your portion of the card and return the portion with your
name and comments to us.
SUGGESTIONS FOR OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE
Raise the enclosure to the ear level of your audience for greater coverage. To help
control feedback, use a graphic equalizer. Keep the speakers in front of the
microphone. Never direct the microphone towards the speaker. For greater
coverage, add a second speaker system 20° to 30° off axis.
