6 days ago - 2 The GVX series Rigging Systems provisions for use require that it be installed in gvx sub15p manual transfer Shop for the Gemini.

I purchased a pair of Carvin LM12A powered speakers back early in the summer and just recently got a pair of Gemini GVX15P powered subwoofers. The instructions that came with the Gemini subs say I should send the sound signal to the subs first, and then use the high pass output jack to send the signal up to the Carvins. Okay fine, it works, but I have to have the Carvins turned way down like to one or so otherwise the tops are way too loud. Using XLR out of the subs (only choice) to XLR into channel three of the Carvins (only choice for XLR).

Volume knob on the subs has no effect what so ever on the input volume of the Carvins. So then I switch things around thinking I should be able to go into the Carvins first, and use the XLR output on the Carvins to feed the signal to the Gemini subs via XLR. Works great Carvin to Carvin, why not Carvin to Gemini sub? Can't get enough subwoofer volume to make it worth a crap! Any thoughts, comments, ideas? I will on occasion need to use my Shure wireless transmitter and two wireless body pack type receivers to get signals to the powered speakers and subs, and being able to go into the speaker first is advantageous.

Though I suppose I could get longer cables to run from the receiver down to the subwoofer first. This is my first venture into powered speakers and while not part of my primary show it certainly comes in handy in many other situations. Please advise.

Ask questions if you need to. The mixer's out is a full range signal. It should go to the subs first.

The high pass out from the sub eliminates the sub frequencies from hitting the Carvin tops. The functionality is the same as using an active crossover and separate amps for the bottoms and tops in a passive system. In your case the crossover and sub amp is built into the sub cabinet. Make sure the mic/line level switch is in the 'line' level position.

In mic level it would be way too hot. Input levels 2 & 3 should be all the way down. Both of you are correct in that the signal is even hotter in the Carvin 'when' the mic button is pushed, which it is not. Output from the Gemini subwoofer is only available via balanced XLR. If I want XLR to XLR then I'm coming into the Carvin LM12A's on channel 3.

Channel one is RCA/phono and channel to is 1/4' and I believe unbalanced. Channel one is designed for an iPod, CD player and when I use my Shure wireless transmitter and receivers it goes into channel one.

Each car, each battle between the downbeat lower classes and the fascist forces of the front brings a new surprise.

Channel two is designed for a guitar or the like and channel three is for mic or other XLR. Any further thoughts, comments or questions? The manual for the Carvins in available on their site at. A good picture of the back of the Gemini subwoofer is available at. The two different brands might just have drastically different input sensitivity. One thing that should gain you a few dB on the sub: Plug the cable from the mixer into one of the sub inputs, and use the highpass output to hook up your tops as you are doing now. Then hook up a short cable from the 'through' output of that sub channel to the 'input' of the second channel on the same sub.
