amp. TheRedlineSeriesofproductsrepresentCarvin’scommitmenttopro-
ducingthestateoftheartinprofessionalbasstechnology. AllRedLineampli-
fiers offer a hybrid 12AX7 tube pre-amp which gives theplayer a choice of
a clean or vintage sound at the turn of a knob. The light-weight and com-
pact design is complemented by heavy duty construction perfectly suited
for the rigors of road use. This manual covers the R600 and R1000 head,
“Cyclops” and “Red Eye” (combo) amplifiers.
GETTING STARTED QUICKLY
If you are like most players, you probably want to plug in your new amp and get started
playingrightaway. However, withasophisticatedamp liketheR600/R1000,thesetupmust
be right or you will experience unsatisfactory results. Before you start, be sure your amp
is plugged into the correct AC voltage.
1.Plugyour bassguitarintotheACTIVE (basswithpreamp) orPASSIVE(bass withnobat-
tery) input jack. With your bass full on and playing hard, be sure the CLIP led next to the
input jacks is not flashing (very dim flashing is OK) or preamp distortion will result. Use
the ACTIVE input if your instrument continues to cause clipping.
2. The INPUT GAIN control should be set at its center “0” position. The master AMP 1 & 2
and VOLUME levels should be set at their center “5” position. If these setting are too loud,
then bring all three downproportionally. However, the GAINcontrol shouldbe kept at “0” for
thebest signal to noise performance. Note, the GAIN control does not turn the guitar off.
3. Set the COMPRESSOR & GATE to their off position. Read about their function later.
4.Setthe LOW,MIDSWEEPandHIGHtonecontrolsto theiroffcenter “0”position. Adjust
later after you are more familiar with the amp.
5.Setthe 9EQbands totheir“0” centerpositionsandadjust laterifneeded. The EQswitch
can also be used to defeat the EQ.
6. Set the guitar’s level about 1/2 and turn the master VOLUME OFF. Now, turn the amp ON
and gradually raise the master VOLUME (set the input GAIN at “0” &the AMP 1 & 2 at “5”).
Re-adjust the guitar and these masters according to the desired volume. If you require full
output,thenraisethesemastercontrolsto10. Nevertrytogetfullpowerbypushingtheinput
GAIN control to its maximum and keeping the master AMP 1 & 2 and VOLUME below 5.

trols and the 9-band graphic EQ as more tone variation is required. It is not recommended

theAMP1&2 controls. Theseampcontrols powerthewooferandmidrange/tweeter inde-
pendently. Double check to see that the speaker’s components are plugged into the cor-
rect amp jacks. If the cables are reversed (feeding the wrong speakers), or the BRIDGE

rectlyset,yourampwillnotperformcorrectly. Carefullychecking theseitemswillhelppre-
vent service calls.
10.Needmorepower? Even thoughtheR600/R1000isapowerfulamp,addingmorespeak-
ersis theonlywayforsubstantiallymoreoutput. Everytimeyoudouble yourspeakers,your
acoustic output goes up by a factor of four. This is far more efficient than trying to add 4
times the power especially when speakers become less efficient when driving them harder.
Bridging your amp into a 4 ohm system will give you more output. However, use caution
because speakers can be be damaged from its high output.
Hopefully, thiswillhelpyou get started. Havefun exploring themany newfeatures andsounds

DESIGNED FOR TOURING
EveryR600is madefromheavy-duty16gauge steelthatis galvanizedbeforebeing painted
to prevent rust. All internal cabling is neatly tied and harnessed. Every circuit card is MIL
SPEC, double-sided, through-hole plated, fire retardant FR-4 glass epoxy. This insures that
the solder flows on the top, bottom and through each hole of every component, preventing
components from shaking loose. Toroid transformers are used as they are the engineer’s
choice for greater power supply current while reducing weight and magnetic “hum” fields.

avoid clipping, reduce the bass level, GAIN knob or use the ACTIVE input jack.
2. PRE-SHAPE EQ
ThePRE-SHAPEEQisusefulfordialingupacertainsound quicklyandeasily. TheLOWBOOST
switch provides a 8dB boost at just under 80Hz. This is useful for adding some depth to the
bottom end without bringing up the lower midrange. The MID SHIFT switch offers two differ-
ent scooped mid selections. In the IN position the amp has a 12dB cut at 250Hz. Depressing
thisbuttonraisesthecutfrequencyto475Hz. TheHIBOOSTswitchoffersa6dBboostat6kHz.
Thiscan provide good high frequency compensation when using only 15” or18” speakers.
3. MAIN EQ TONE CONTROLS
The main EQ tone controls consists of a low shelving control, a sweep midrangecontrol and
a high shelving control. The LOW control provides the overall shaping of the low frequencies.
The action of this control has been carefully matched to the response of the bass guitar. The
MIDSWEEPcontrols perform asa semiparametric EQ over the mid frequencyrange. TheMID
GAINknobprovidesaboostingorcuttingactionatarelativelynarrowbandoffrequencies. When
the EQ GAIN knob of the MID SWEEP controls is set to “0” the mid sweep will have no effect.
ToboostorcutaspecificfrequencyrotatetheMIDGAINknobclockwise(right)orcounterclock-
wise (left) respectively. The FREQ control knob is used to select the center frequency where
the boosting orcutting will occur. The best way to become familiar with the MID SWEEP con-
trol isto set the MID GAIN knob at either full cut or full boost androtate the FREQ knob over
its range of frequencies. Listen to the results and experiment with different levels. The MID
SWEEP EQ is a powerful sound shaping tool which usually requires some practice to get the
best results. The HIGH control knob is designed to cut or boost the high frequencies of the
bass guitar. Boosting with this controlis useful for bringing up the very highest harmonics of
thebass,whichisespeciallyusefulwhenslappingorpopping. Note:boostingthehighfrequencies
can result in increased hiss, especially when using tweeters. This is normal.
4. COMPRESSOR
The COMPRESSOR of the Red Line Series amps is designed to limit the peaks so the volume
levelismoreconstant. Thisallows greaterpower toyour speakers preventing thepoweramps
from clipping. The R600/R1000 two knob compressor with THRESHOLD and RATIO controls
is more flexible and precise than a single control unit. The user can dialup the exact amount
of compression desired and at what level they want the compression to begin. The THRESH-
OLD control knob sets thepoint where the compressor kicks in. In the OFF position the com-
pressor hasno effecton thesound. Rotating thiscontrol inthe clockwisedirectionlowers the
level where the compressor turns on. The compressor indicator LED shows whenthis thresh-
old is obtained, thusshowing when the compressor is on. The RATIOknob is used to set the
amount ofcompression once the threshold has been reached. When this knobis sweptallthe

The noise GATE reduces the noise caused by the bass pickups. To use the GATE, mute the
strings withyour hand and raise the THRESHOLDcontrol knobuntiltheamp’snoiseis turned

be utilized to their fullest potential.
7. GRAPHIC EQ/EFFECTS LOOP
The nine band graphic EQ has been designed with the center frequencies most requested by
professionalbassplayers. ThisEQcanbeusedtofinetunethetonalcontentofthe ampsoutput.
Since the graphic EQ is controllable with eitherthe optional FS22 footswitch or the EQswitch
on the front panel, it can be used to develop a second sound from the amp. Musicians that
play morethanone bass on stagewillfindthisuseful to getthesoundstheydesireoutof each
of their instruments. Thefootswitchselectablegraphic EQcanalsobeusefulduringpassages
of asongwhen the bass needs to punchthrough the mix. A greenLEDindicator locatedalong
side of the EQ signifies when the graphic EQ is working in the amp.
The yellow effect loop LED labeled EFF LOOP indicates when the effects loop is turned on.
Note: the EQ switch on the front panel overrides the SELECT switch on the footswitch. So
when the graphic EQ is off on the front panel it cannot be turned on with thefootswitch.

R600/R1000 BI-AMP HOOK UP
The R600/R1000 bass amp contains two separate
(stereo) power amplifiers. Thismakes itpossibleto
runafullBi-ampedrigdirectlyoffofyourR600/R1000.
TheAMP 1 (LOW FREQ) 1/4” output jack should be
connected to a low frequency speaker cabinet, usu-
ally a 15” or 18” speaker. The AMP 2 (HIGH FREQ)
1/4” output jack should be connected to a set of
mid/high frequency drivers, often a 4x10 box with a
tweeter. The crossover selector switch must beset
to the BI-AMP (out) position in order to engage the
internal electronic crossover. The crossover fre-
quencyissetbyrotatingtheX-OVERknobonthefront

increase both POWER AMP CONTROL 1 & 2 knobs by the same amount, so that the mix is
unchanged. These knobs can also beused toset the level of twofull range speakers. So one
speaker can be used asa monitor for the guitarplayer or drummer and the other speaker as
the main bass cabinet. A front panel mounted PHONESjack is provided for practicing or as a
place to hookup a tuner. Use highquality headphones with an impedance greater than 100Ω
when connecting to this jack. The phones jack does not interrupt the amplifiers output so a
tunercan be left plugged into this jack while playing. When using a Tip / Sleeve(mono) cable
to attach gear such as a tuner to the phones jack, insert the cable to the first click of the jack.
9. POWER / PROTECT RESET
ON /OFF switch andpowerindicator LED. Push theupper portion ofthepowerswitchto turn
the amplifieron. Ifthe powerindicator LED ison butno sound iscomingout ofthe speakers,
the amp may have gone into one of its protection modes. To reset the amp, turn the power
off for one minute and then turn the amp back on. If the problem persists check for a bad
speaker cable, damaged speaker or blocked rear fan intake.
REAR PANEL CONTROLS
10. COOLING VENTS
Thesevents are forcooling the internal power amplifiers. Provide a minimum of 3” of clear-
ance foradequateventilation. Blocking the air flow throughthese vents will cause the amp to
thermally protect and turn the speaker relays off. If this happens clear the obstruction first,
keep thepower on and turn the guitar volume down allowing the amp to cool. The amp will
engagethe speaker relays when cooling conditionsreturn to normal.
11. EFFECTS LOOP
The EFF LOOP send and return jacks areused to connect external effectsinto the Red Line’s
signal chain. Theloopis located afterthemain EQ,compressorand noise gateand before the
graphic EQ. To use the effects loop, connect the “SND” jack to the input of the effects unit
and connect the “RTN” jackto theoutput of the effects unit. The effects loop can be turned
on andoff by using the FS22 footswitch. When the footswitch is not connected, the loop will
default to the ON position. The status of the effects loop is indicated on the front panel by a
yellow LED marked “EFF LOOP” .
12. PREAMP / DIRECT OUT XLR
The PREAMP XLRis a balanced output that can be configured in a number of different ways.
The LINE / DIR switch is used to select a pre or post pre amp feed. In the “LINE” position,
the feed is post the preamp section of the Red Line amp and contains all of the signal pro-
cessing and effects that are being used. The “DIR” position is a direct feed off of the bass
guitarand is similar to using a D.I. box at the input jack. A ground lift switch is also available
onthepreampoutXLRjack. Setthis switchforthelowestnoisewhenusing thisoutput. When
the GND / LIFT switch is depressed, the signal ground is lifted from this jack thus eliminating
anyground loops between the Red Linepreamp out and the gear it is feeding.
HELPFUL HINTS
1) POOR BIAMP SOUND: The speaker cables from AMP 1
(woofers) and AMP2 (tweeters) have been reversed or AMP
1 and 2 level controls are not balanced or the X-OVER has
been set at an incorrect frequency (set at 800 Hz).
2) NO SOUNDFROM AMPS 1 & 2: The rear BRIDGE switch has
beeninadvertentlypushedinorspeakerspluggedintowrongjacks.
3) NO HIGH FREQUENCIES: Tweeters or midrange drivershave
been damaged or blown from overpowering.
4) WEAKBASS: Thespeakersystems couldbewiredoutofphase
to each other. To correct, reverse the wires on one speaker
connector only and your bass response willimprove.
5) DIR XLR HUM: Try switching the GND LIFT switch IN or OUT
(depending on your use). If hum is not eliminated, then use a
600Ωline input transformer cutting the input ground on the
connectors (Pin3). Thisisolatestheinputground from theAC
power ground eliminating a system ground loop.
6) REAR CIRCUIT BREAKER TRIPS: High AC voltage surgesmay
bepresent. Reset the breaker by pushing the protruding button.
13. PREAMP OUT JACKS (HI FREQ & LOW FREQ)
ThePREAMP1& 2OUTjacksaddalotofinterconnectionflexibilitytotheRedLinebassamp.
These jacks can be used to driveadditional power amplifiers or to drive stereo or frequency
selective effects. When the amp is operating in Bi-amp mode, the LOW FREQ jack contains
only the low frequency material andthe HIFREQ jack contains onlythe highfrequency mate-
rial, as determined by the X-OVER FREQ selector knob on the front panel. When the amp is
operating in full range mode, both output jacks contain the same full range signal. Use the
front AMP 1 & 2 controlsfor level adjustments.
14. STEREO RETURN JACKS

dard footswitch with a stereo plug willwork.
16. SPEAKER OUTPUTS
TheR600/R1000 amp contains two 1/4” speaker output connectors, one for each amp. The
AMP 1 (LOW FREQ) jack corresponds to the AMP 1 (LOW FREQ) knob on the front panel.
TheAMP2(HIGHFREQ) jackcorrespondstotheAMP2 (HIGHFREQ) knobonthefrontpanel.

17. BRIDGE SPEAKER OUTPUTS
The R600 produces 600 watts (bridged mono) into a 4Ωload or 500 watts into an 8Ωload.
The R1000 produces1000watts (bridged mono) intoa 4Ωload or 700 watts into an 8Ωload.
To activate, push the BRIDGE switch in and plug the speakers into the BRIDGE ONLY jacks.
18. AC CIRCUIT BREAKER
A circuit breaker is provided so that you will never have to replace the fuse. Occasionally
the circuit breaker on your amp may have to be reset if high AC voltage surges are present
or if the amp is used with excessive loads. Simply pushthe button to reset.
19. AC LINE CORD
All Red Line Series bassamplifiers are supplied with detachable three conductor line cords.
Make sure the cord is securely inserted into the back of the unit. Never defeat the ground-
ing pinof the AC linecord asitis there for your own protection. If you mustplug intoa two
prong outlet use aquality3 to 2prong grounded adapter.
