CARVIN ENGINEERING DATA OPERATING MANUAL
Pristinesound,brutepowerandno-faultreliabilitymaketheDCMampsthepower
amp of choice for pro audio. Designed for continuous operation. Massive Toroid
power supplies with huge capacitors deliver the bass that kick drums demand --
you will feel the deep, resonating beat.
MechanicallytheDCM'saremoreruggedthantheimportampsthataresopreva-
lent today. 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 withitssuperb,testimonial-proven sound,makestheUSA
built DCM an amp you'll own for years.
PURE—TRANSPARENT SOUND
Carvin considers the sound of an amp equally important as its reliability. To
insure pure, uncolored sound, we designed one of the fastest power stages on
the market today. High slew rates of 50v/µs deliver superb transient response.
Highfrequenciesaretransparentandopen—evenatextremelevels. Linearfeed-
back circuits reduce distortion to near the theoretical zero limit, preventing any
typeofharshnesswhichwouldleadtoearfatigue. TheDCMSeriesampsdeliver
flat,transparent, unaltered sound—especially important to thestudio user. And
you can drive any type of reactive loads, including 70V transformer distribution
systems. Theseamps aredesignedto delivernon-stop,continuous RMSpower
and are completely protected from heat and short circuits.
ULTRA RUGGED FOR TOURING
Every chassis is made from heavy-duty 16 gauge steel that is plated before
paintedtopreventrust. All internalcablingisneatlytied andharnessed. Every
circuit card is FR-4 MILITARY SPEC, double-sided, through-hole plated, fire
retardant glass epoxy. This insures that the solder flows on the top, bottom
andthrougheachhole ofeverycomponent,preventingcomponentsfromshak-
ing loose. Speakon™ connectors, heavy-duty power switches, recessed
knobs, all give the DCM amps a “tank-like” ruggedness.
TOROID POWER SUPPLY
Toroidsdelivermassiveamountsof“ondemand”currentforcontinuousoper-
ation. Thisgivesthe power supply a solid foundation,yieldingmore headroom
for the large subwoofer applications. Not only do toroids deliver high current,
buttheyareknownforreducing stray magnetic fields eliminating hum & noise.
This is especially important for the recording industry.
MODULAR CONSTRUCTION
With the DCM Series, Carvin brings you totally modular construction. If you
everneedanI/O (input/output)connectorcardbecausea connectorwore-out,
just unplug it and re-install the replacement card in minutes. You don’t have
to de-solder anything. This applies to every aspect of the DCM Series amps
including the power supply, power cards, heat sinks and fans. Everything is
connectedbyheavy-dutyAMP™ andMOLEX™typeconnectorsfor easyreplace-
ment—even the Toroid transformer is a total plug-in.
DISTORTION-FREE LIMITERS
Thepurposeof a limiter is to hold downpeakssothe amp won’t distort even
with extra hot input signals (this protects your expensive speakers). In addi-
tion, a well designed limiter can increase your amp’s average output as much
as3db. Partof Carvin’sdesignusesthemore expensive,distortion-freelinear
“optoisolators”. Unlikeampsthat useFETcontrolledlimiterswhich caninject
small amounts of distortion, the DCM Series limiters keep your sound pure
and uncolored!

FRONT PANEL
1. MOUNTING
Sturdyonepiece12gauge steelface plateaccommodatesstandard19”rackinstallation. Therack mount-
ing 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
AprecisioninputLEVELattenuateisusedtoadjustthevolumelevels. Todelivertheampsmaximumpower
without reducing the headroom of the signal source, the level controls should be turned full on.
4. CHANNEL SIGNAL INDICATOR
ThegreenSIGNALLEDindicators will flash when there is a signal passingtoyourspeakers (-30dBµ). This
lets you know when the amp is passing a signal to your rear speaker connectors.
5. CHANNEL CLIP INDICATOR
The red CLIP LED indicators will flash when each channel has reached its maximum output. Occasional
flashingcausedbylowerbassfrequenciesisOK. However,consistentflashingcausedfromhigherfrequencies
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 sur-
rounding 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 from exhausting the warm air.
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
by disconnecting the output speaker relays protecting your 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) Allfourchannelsaremuted whenthe outputloaddrawsexcessivecurrentora directshortisdetected
caused by a shorted speaker cable or speaker system. Reset this condition by turning the amp off
for two seconds and then on again. Check for shorted cables and the total speaker system imped-
ance connected to each channel (4 ohms is the minimum per ch or 8 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 1 to 3 minutes and the PROTECT LED will turn off when
ready. Check for the following conditions; a) The rear intake air is restricted, b) The intake air is
extremely warm, c) The front exhaust vents are restricted, or d) Excessive speaker load (try other
speakers or remove speakers if you have more than one connected to each channel). Again, the
minimum impedance is 4 ohms per ch or 8 ohms BRIDGED)
REAR PANEL
8. Balanced 1/4” PHONE JACK INPUTs
This stereo 1/4” phone 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 tied to ground through the GROUND LIFT switch.
9. PARALLEL OR “Y” INPUT SWITCHES 1-2, 3-4
The rear PARALLEL switches allow you to drive two channels from one input. All signals from ch 1 or
ch 2 will be available on channels 1&2, likewise channels 3&4. This eliminates Y adapter. This feature
is also used to “daisy chain” one piece of equipment to another. Just plug into the unused INPUT 1/4”
and it will become an output for other equipment.
10. INPUT GROUND LIFT
Many times sound systems are connected in such a manner to cause a grounded loop with the inputs
which result in audible hum. The input GND LIFT (1/4”) switch on the rear panel will help eliminate this
problem. Ifnot,another waytoeliminate groundloopsis toinstallCarvin’sMTF55“GroundLifter” between
the amplifier input and the signal source. This isolates the input ground from the AC power ground.
11. LIMITERS
To activatetheLIMITERS,engagetherearlimiterswitch. Thebuilt-inoptioisolatorlimitersarerecommended
to hold down peaks that could cause early distortion. These limiters will help to rise the average power so
that you can get more output from each channel. To check the effectiveness of the limiters when the chan-
nelstartsto distort (under the ampsfulloutput),engage the limiters and hearthereduction of the distortion.
If the distortion stops, you can turn the channel up for more power. The lower bass frequencies are most
affected. WARNING: Do not check in an environment where the sound level could damage your ears!
12. SPEAKER 1/4” OUTPUTS
The standard 1/4” SPEAKER jacks are offered for lower power applications. Speakon™ connectors are
providedforhighpowerapplication. Secure theSpeakon™ connectionbyturningtotheright. Thecenter
Speakon™ is for Bridge only. Turn the amp off before connecting your speakers.
13. SPEAKER OUTPUTS SPEAKON™
Speakon™connectorsareprovidedfor highpower application. SecuretheSpeakon™connectionbyturn-
ing to the right. The center Speakon™ is for Bridge only. The wiring of the three Speakon™ connectors
are: First connector from the left: Channel 1 pin 1+ pos. Pin 1- neg.
Channel 2 pin 2+ pos. Pin 2- neg.

Channel 3 pin 2+ pos. Pin 2- neg.
Thisarrangementallowsbiampconnectionswiththe outside Twist-Lokconnectors (seestereo biamping)and
stereo plus a high power bridged subwoofer with all three Twist-Lok connectors (see stereo plus subwoofer).
14. BRIDGE MODE—25V/70V DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS
The “DCM” Series can be operated in bridge mode if you require a 25V / 70V distribution speaker system
or a high powered mono (single channel) amp. With your amp off, push “IN” the rear (recessed) BRIDGE
switch after you have made your connections with the bridge Speakon™. The 1/4” speaker jacks can not be
used at the same time! Select carefully or damage may result to your speakers. This is why the switch has
beenrecessed. The INPUT andLEVELis handled bychannel 2. Channel3is non-operational. Theminimum
speaker impedance is 8 ohms or a 25V distribution line. CAUTION: The power developed by bridging your
ampcan destroymostspeaker systems! Makesure yourspeaker(s)areofthe properimpedance andpower
handling.
15. AC POWER
Your amp is designed to run on either 120V 60 Hz or 230V 50Hz depending on the model purchased.
The voltage range for 120V model is 95V to 132V and for 230V model it is 195V to 253V. The rear heavy-
duty AC receptacle will accept a standard 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 its receptacle. In the
case of a blown fuse; unplug the amp, remove the lid and replace the 20 amp fuse located in the back
corner above where the AC cord connects to the circuit board.
Note: Each amp will require a dedicated 20 amp circuit if you are driving the amp to its full output. There
will be a sustained loss of power if the AC voltage is below the rated 120V or 230/240V so be sure you
use a heavy gauge power cable (and source).

2) STEREO CHANNELS SOUND THE SAME: The rear
PARALLEL switch has been inadvertently pushed in.
3) NOHIGHFREQUENCIES: Tweetersormidrangedrivers have
been damaged or blown from feedback or overpowering.
4) SYSTEM HUM: Try switching the GND LIFT switch IN or OUT
(depending on your use). If hum is not eliminated, then install
Carvin’s MTF55 “Ground Lifter” between the amplifier input and
signal source. This isolates the input ground from the AC power
ground.
5) POOR SOUND (BASS): The speaker systems are wired out
