USER MANUAL CVE-15 Cerwin-Vega

Congratulations - Welcome to the Cerwin-Vega Family! You've joined a growing group of audio professionals who have turned to Cerwin-Vega for the most advanced audio reproduction systems available. Al Cerwin-Vega products are thoroughly tested to ensure that they meet or exceed our performance specifications. Backed by the best service in the industry, Cerwin-Vega is dedicated to quality and reliability.

The Cerwin-Vega CVE powered speaker series, which consists of our tower speakers CVE-10, CVE-12, CVE-15 and also our CVE-18$ high powered subwoofer is covered in this guide.

The CVEs are designed for both mobile and some fixed applications where the speakers will be appropriately installed on a tripod stand, pole, flown using the CVE wall bracket, or stacked on a sturdy platform such as a floor or stage.

Cerwin-Vega does not support suspension of the subwoofer model CVE-18$ covered by this guide nor are these models intended for outdoor or high-moisture fixed installations. Moisture can damage the speaker cone or surround and cause corrosion of electrical contacts so avoid exposing the speakers to direct moisture.

Cerwin-Vega speakers are capable of producing a lot of acoustical energy. The speaker might be prone to movement if placed on a slick surface like polished wood or linoleum because of its own vibrations. To ensure that the speaker doesn't fall off a stage or table that it is put on, safety precautions should always be implemented to prevent this from happening.

Our CVE speakers include a pole cup to allow mounting of a satellite speaker ontop ofthe subwoofer using a standard speaker pole shaft. When using a standard speaker pole shaft, be sure to observe the following precautions:

+ Check the speaker pole shaft specs to be certain it can support the weight of the speakers.

+ Observe all safety precautions specified by the speaker pole shaft manufacturer.

+ Always verify that the subwoofer is placed on a flat, level, and stable surface.

+ Route cables so that foot traffic will not trip over them, toppling the speaker.

+ Always be cautious in windy conditions as the stability of the entire system may be compromised.

Cerwin-Vega speakers are easily capable of generating sound pressure levels (SPL) of sufficient magnitude to cause permanent hearing damage to performers, production crew and audience members. Caution should be taken to avoid prolonged exposure to SPL more than 90 dB(A).

Quick Set-Up The steps below provide a quick reference on how to setup and use a single loudspeaker. À typical setup will follow the same basic steps.

+ Make sure the loudspeaker is unplugged.

spi + Be sure the power switch is set to the OFF position.

+ Turn the LEVEL knob to the lowest level (fully counter-clockwise).

+ Place the loudspeaker in the ideal location.

STEP2 + Connect the source audio equipment OUTPUT to the loudspeaker INPUT. Be sure the source equipment is powered on and set to a normal output level.

* Connect the power cord to the loudspeaker AC power outlet.

*_ Setthe POWER switch to the ON position and verify that the DSP MODE LED STEP3 indicator is illuminated.

% Slowly turn the LEVEL knob clockwise until the sound output is at the desired level. If there is no sound, check to make sure the source equipment is providing audio output.

NOTE When you are done using the loudspeaker, set the POWER switch to OFF BEFORE removing any cables and turning off the source audio equipment.

Loudspeaker placement

Never point a microphone directly at a loudspeaker, as this will result in extreme feedback {unwanted sound). Be sure the loudspeaker is placed away from the front of the microphone or directly behind the microphone when in a floor monitor position.

When used with turntables, carefully place the loudspeaker so that any vibrations do not interfere with the turntable performance and functionality.

Avoid placing the loudspeaker in the corners or along the walls of a room. This will increase the low-frequency content of the audio and may result in a muddy and incoherent sound reproduction

Avoid placing the speakers directly on a hollow stage. It is better to place the loudspeakers on tripod stands or a sturdy table.

The loudspeaker should be placed two to four feet above the ear level of the audience since the human body can absorb sound especially at high frequencies. This will make sure the entire audience can hear the sound system with the best possible clarity.
