CARVIN ENGINEERING DATA DCM600, DCM1000, DCM1500 POWER AMPS OPERATING MANUAL

DCM600, DCM1000, DCM1500
Pristine sound, brute power and no-fault reliability make the DCM amps the power amp of choice for pro audio. Massive Toroid power supplies with huge capacitors deliver the bass that kick drums demand. Designed for continuous operation, overheating is not a problem especially down at minimum impedances where other amps simply turn off. Each DCM is hand built at our San Diego factory featuring all steel construction, recessed controls and heavy-duty power components. The rock-solid, efficient design with its superb testimonial-proven sound makes the USA built DCM an amp you'll own for years.
PURE--TRANSPARENT SOUND Carvin considers the sound of an amp equally important as to its reliability. To insure pure, uncolored sound, we build one of the fastest power stages on the market today. High slew rates of 50v/µs deliver superb transient response. High frequencies are transparent and open--even at extreme levels. Linear feedback circuits reduce distortion to near the theoretical zero limit preventing harshness which would lead to ear fatigue. The DCM deliver transparent, unaltered sound-- especially important to the studio user. Drive any type of reactive loads, including 70V transformer distribution systems.
ULTRA RUGGED FOR TOURING Every chassis is made from heavy-duty 16 gauge steel that is plated before painted to prevent rust. All internal cabling is neatly tied and harnessed. Every circuit card is FR-4 MILITARY SPEC, double-sided, fire retardant glass epoxy. Plated through-holes insure that the solder flows on the top, bottom and through each hole of every component preventing components from shaking loose. SpeakonTM connectors, heavy-duty power switches, recessed knobs, all give the DCM amps a "tank-like" ruggedness.
TOROID POWER SUPPLY Toroids deliver massive amounts of "on demand" current for continuous 2 ohm
operation. This gives the power supply a solid foundation, yielding more headroom for large subwoofer applications. Not only do toroids deliver high current, but they are known for reducing stray magnetic fields eliminating hum & noise. This is especially important to the recording industry.
MODULAR CONSTRUCTION With the DCM Series, Carvin brings you totally modular construction. If you
ever need an I/O (input/output) connector card because a connector wore-out, just unplug and re-install the replacement card. This applies to every aspect of the DCM Series amps including the power supply, power cards, heat sinks and fans. Everything is connected by heavy-duty AMPTM and MOLEXTM type connectors for easy replacement--even the Toroid transformer is a plug-in.
DISTORTION-FREE LIMITERS The purpose of a limiter is to hold down peaks so the amp won't distort with
extra hot input signals (helps protect speakers). In addition, a well designed limiter can increase your amp's average output as much as 3 dB allowing levels to be turned up without peak distortion. Part of Carvin's design uses the more expensive, distortion-free linear "opto isolators". Unlike amps that use FET controlled limiters, which inject small amounts of distortion, the DCM Series limiters keep your sound pure and uncolored!

RECEIVING INSPECTION--read before getting started

FRONT PANELS & CONNECTING UP
The DCM Series feature front panel signal, peak and protect LEDs which let you monitor the status of the amp. Both channels use detente level controls allowing you to see your settings at a glance. Balanced TRS & XLR input connectors are used to eliminate hum & noise. Speaker outputs feature heavy-duty binding posts, SpeakonTM connectors and 1/4" jacks. The rear professional accessory group offers a GROUND switch to remove the chassis ground from the XLR input. A PARALLEL input switch connects the inputs together eliminating Y cables for patching multiple amp systems. The accessory group also features a BRIDGE MODE switch to deliver twice the power into a "mono" load or full power into a 70V distribution system, and a LIMITER ON/OFF switch gives the choice of using the internal limiter circuitry.

FRONT PANEL

(Recessed)

1. MOUNTING
Sturdy one piece 12 gauge steel face plate accommodates standard 19" rack installation. The rack mounting holes are designed on ISO standard spacing. Four 10-32 x .5" phillips machine screws are normally used to secure the amp. Rear support brackets are not required.

2. POWER SWITCH
Check the power amp connections and verify the AC line power source before engaging the POWER switch. The yellow LED unmistakably indicates that all circuits are properly powered up. Yellow is used so the operator can see the red indicators (clipping or protect) from a distance.

3. CHANNEL LEVEL CONTROL
A precision input LEVEL attenuate is used to adjust the volume levels. To deliver the amps maximum power without reducing the headroom of the signal source, the level controls should be turned full on.

4. CHANNEL SIGNAL INDICATOR
The green SIGNAL LED indicators will start to flash when there is a low signal passing to your speakers (-30dBµ). This lets you know when the amp is passing a signal to your speaker connectors.

5. CHANNEL CLIP INDICATOR
The red CLIP LED indicators flash when each channel has reached its maximum output. Occasional flashing caused by low frequencies is OK. However, consistent flashing caused by higher frequencies may damage high frequency drivers (excessive distortion). This does not cause damage to the amp.

6. COOLING VENTS/FAN
Upon rack installation, the rear of the amp must be fully exposed to room temperature air. The surrounding air should not be warmer than 120° or the thermal protection could active the PROTECT LED. The front cooling vents are not to be restricted.

7. PROTECT LED INDICATOR
The red PROTECT LED provides the operator with information about the status of the amplifier. The PROTECT LED can come on under 3 different conditions (when this happens, both channels are muted and the speaker relays disconnect the speakers);

1) During power-up, the amplifier stays in a muted state for approx. 3 sec until it determines that everything is functioning normally (no output shorts or over temp conditions).

2) When the output load draws excessive current or a direct short is detected caused by a shorted speaker cable or speaker system, the RED PROTECT LED will illuminate. Reset this condition by turning the amp off for two seconds and then on again. Check for shorted cables and that the total speaker impedance is not below 2 ohms per channel (4 ohms bridged).
3) Overheating is usually determined when the amp stops in the middle of a performance and the PROTECT LED comes on. If this is the cause, leave the amp on for the fan to cool the amp down. The amp will automatically reset within 3 minutes. The PROTECT LED will turn off when ready. Check for the following conditions; a) The rear intake air is not restricted, b) The intake air is not extremely warm, c) The front exhaust vents are not restricted, or d) No excessive speaker load (try other speakers or remove speakers if you have more than one connected to each channel).

REAR PANEL
8. XLR CHANNEL INPUTS
For most applications, use the XLR balanced inputs. This will help to reduce hum and allow longer cable runs from your signal source (mixer, etc). Because this is a balanced input, the gain will be 6 dB higher than using the 1/4" input jack with non balanced lines. XLR pin configuration: Pin 1: Grounded through the GROUND LIFT switch, Pin 2: positive Bal. signal and Pin 3: negative Bal. signal.

6
9. CHANNEL 1/4" TRS INPUT
This TRS jack is designed to receive either balanced or unbalanced input signals. Balanced signals coming into this jack should be wired with the connector's tip going to signal + and the connector's ring to signal -. The connector's sleeve is then tied internally to ground through the GROUND LIFT switch.
10. PARALLEL OR "Y" INPUTS
The rear PARALLEL switch connects both channels together from either input. This eliminates Y adapter cables. This feature is used to "daisy chain" one piece of equipment to another. Just plug into the unused INPUT (TRS or XLR) and it will become the output for other equipment.
11. INPUT GROUND LIFT
Many times sound systems are connected in such a manner as to cause a grounded loop with the inputs which results in audible hum. The input GND LIFT switch (TRS & XLR) on the rear panel will help eliminate this problem. If not, install a Carvin's MTF55 "Ground lifter" between the amplifier input and the signal.
12. LIMITERS
To activate the LIMITERS, engage the rear limiter switch. The built-in "Optio" limiters are recommended to hold down peaks that could cause distortion. To check the effectiveness of the limiters when the channel starts to distort (under full output), engage the limiters and listen for the reduction of the distortion. If the distortion stops, you can try to turn the channel up for more power until distortion is heard. The lower bass frequencies are most affected. WARNING: Do not check in an environment where the sound level could damage your ears!
13. SPEAKER 1/4" AND SPEAKONTM OUTPUTS
The standard 1/4" SPEAKER jacks are offered for low power applications. SpeakonTM connectors are provided for high power application. Secure the SpeakonTM connection by turning to the right. The center SpeakonTM is for the "Bridge" output only. Turn the amp off before connecting your speakers.
14. SPEAKER BINDING POSTS
For high power speaker connections, use the rear BINDING POSTS to connect your speakers. Wire sizes up to 7 gauge (50 amps) can be inserted into the binding post "side holes". Larger cable can be used with "banana" plugs which plug into the end of the binding posts (remove colored caps from end of binding posts). Binding posts are spaced on ISO standards. Use the two center RED binding posts to BRIDGE speaker connections (see 15 BRIDGE MODE).
15. BRIDGE MODE--25V/70V DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS
The DCM's can be operated in bridge mode if you require a 25V / 70V mono distribution speaker system or a mono (single channel) amp, which doubles the power into a single load. With your amp off, push "IN" the rear (recessed) BRIDGE switch after you have made your connections to either the center bridge SpeakonTM or the rear center RED binding posts (ch 1 is + and ch 2 is -). Carefully select or damage may result to the speakers (this is why the switch has been recessed). No other speaker connectors or binding posts can be used at the same time! The INPUT connector and LEVEL is handled by channel 1. Channel 2 is non-operational. The minimum speaker impedance is 4 ohms. CAUTION: The power developed by bridging your amp can destroy most speakers.
16. AC POWER
Your amp is designed to run on either 120V 60 Hz or 240V 50Hz depending on the model purchased. The voltage range for 120V model is 95V to 132V and for 240V model it is 195V to 255V. The rear heavyduty AC receptacle will accept a universal grounded AC cord that is designed your country. Be sure to check your power source before plugging into a grounded (3 prong) outlet. Never defeat the grounded connection or electrocution may result! Firmly push the AC cord all the way into the receptacle.
FUSE: The fuse is located within the main chassis above the AC connector mounted on the rear, inside the PC card. Normaly if the fuse fails, the amp will require service. See spec. chart for fuse values.
NOTE: Each amp will require a dedicated circuit if you are driving the amp to its full output. There will be a sustained loss of power if the AC voltage falls below the rated 120V or 230/240V. Use a heavy gauge power cable and power source.
