Basic CVA Settings Guide:
Note This is not intended for all applications but an easy way to get good sound from your setup.
Using at least a 20 AMP breaker per stack and all XLR cables, use the following as an average settings guide when using two CVA-28’s
on a dual antler (CVANT-2A) per one CVA-118.
SETTINGS ON THE CVA Series SUB:
• LEVEL: set to 12 o’clock position (half way).
• HIGH PASS (to through): set to 85 Hz.
• POLARITY: set to 0 zero (up position).
• VARIABLE LOW PASS: set between the 10 o’clock and 2 o’clock position (just below or slightly above half way).
• LINK OUT: set to Master, (unless you plan to daisy chain multiple subs).
• PARAMETRIC EQ: set to Bypass (up position- only on the CVA-121).
SETTINGS ON THE CVA-28:
• LEVEL: set to 12 o’clock position (half way).
• INPUT SWITCH (Mic/DI or Line): set to Line (down position), (unless you are using the CVA-28 by itself w/ a mic or instrument).
• SUB SWITCH: set to No Sub (up position). Remember if you are using the High Pass Thru as the crossover to adjust this for all tops set
to Sub.
• CONTOUR SWITCH: set to Off (up position), (unless you are outdoors and need the loudness).
• AC OUTPUT: use the specified cable to daisy chain power to another CVA-28.
Warning Do not chain more than two other CVA-28 per one power source.
Other Tips and Helpful Hints: Depending on the quality of your signal, as you increase volume levels you may experience distortion or
muddiness or notice the limit light stays On more than it is Off.
Please always check the distortion levels of your source signal (preferably with headphones on your master or DJ mixing board).
Remember the front grill is a driver heat-sink, therefore depending on hours of usage and direct sunlight the front grill may feel warm; as
well as the amp heat-sink located on the rear of the speaker. Don’t worry if this happens; just make sure you are not continuously driving
the speaker’s amplifier to distortion levels (see LED indicators).
