INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Carvin PM1000 Wireless Personal In-Ear
Monitor System and congratulations on your choice. This system offers all
of the advantages of wireless in-ear monitoring–mobility, freedom from feed-
back and elimination of transport issues associated with conventional floor
monitors–as well as the long term health benefits of safe listening levels.
This wireless in-ear monitor system combines state-of-the-art advanced fre-
quency-agile PLL synthesized UHF technology, high-end performance, ease
of use, and unprecedented affordability. The PM1000 offers a choice of 16
user selectable UHF channels in both the transmitter and receiver(s), as well
as stereo (MPX system) or mono mode transmission. This system is indis-
pensable for live-stage music performance, and is loaded with features pre-
viously found only in units costing several times more.
USING THIS SYSTEM AT EXCESSIVE VOLUMES CAN CAUSE PERMANENT
HEARING DAMAGE. ALWAYS USE AS LOW A VOLUME AS POSSIBLE.
The Occupational Safety Health Administration (OSHA) has established the
following guidelines for maximum time exposure to sound pressure levels
(SPL) before hearing damage occurs:
90 dB SPL @ 8 hours
95 dB SPL @ 4 hours
100 dB SPL @ 2 hours
105 dB SPL @ 1 hour
110 dB SPL @ 1/2 hour
115 dB SPL @ 15 minutes
Avoid exposure to 120 dB or greater or irreversible ear damage may result.
(Note: It is difficult to measure the SPL present at the eardrum in live
sound applications. The volume present will be affected by the level setting
of your PM1001, the ambient stage sound from your other instruments
and speakers and fit of your in-ear monitors.)
Use the following guidelines:
1.Turn up the volume to your earphones only enough to hear properly.
Experiment with your overall mix to get the maximum benefit from
your PM1000. Whenever possible, turn the limiter on the PM1001
receiver ON.
2. Turn down the volume immediately if you experience any pain or
hearing discomfort or ringing in the ears after use.
