Bring true line-array performance to a compact, portable column format delivering long-throw clarity, powerful output, and consistent coverage for concert venues, outdoor events, and medium-scale productions. Engineered for professionals who demand both precision and impact, the TRC System platform combines technically advanced design with the real-world power
required for modern shows.
Each TRx3900F column features nine matched 3.5" drivers arranged in a tightly aligned vertical array. Stacking two columns forms an 18-driver line source that maintains coherent wavefront propagation across the system’s full 100 Hz to 18 kHz operating range. This uniform driver topology minimizes vertical dispersion, reduces distortion, and ensures smooth frequency response for listeners both near and far.
The result is sound that remains crisp, articulate, and tonally consistent—even
at long distances where conventional speakers begin to lose clarity.
Many column speakers rely on a single HF driver paired with mid-range drivers, disrupting vertical coherence and limiting long-throw performance. TRC™ systems avoid this compromise entirely by using identical drivers throughout the array, maintaining continuous coupling and maximizing efficiency.
This design provides:
When ground-stacked on a TRX3118A Subwoofer, a TRX3900F Column Array pair create an 8-foot-tall acoustic aperture, enabling projection that reaches well over 400 feet, depending on environmental conditions. The extended vertical height enhances forward gain and maintains intelligibility across large audiences without the harsh hotspots often associated with shorter near-field columns and point source speakers. Because all eighteen drivers act together as a single acoustic source, the TRC™ array distributes energy evenly from top to bottom, reducing front-row “blare” and delivering a balanced listening experience throughout the venue.
To complement the TRX3900F column arrays, the TRC Series systems include up to four TRX3118A high-output 18" subwoofers (TRC600A). This configuration provides the necessary low-frequency headroom to match the upper-range efficiency of the array, resulting in a full-range system capable of handling demanding music content with authority and precision.
The combination ensures a powerful, well-balanced mix that translates accurately at any volume.
Each dual column and subwoofer system is driven with over 2000 watts of clean, reliable power, offering a substantial SPL capability of 131dB with low distortion. The system’s dynamic headroom allows engineers to push their mix confidently—whether mixing live bands, reinforcing speech, or DJ productions requiring consistent impact.
TRC Far-Field Powered Column Array Systems blend advanced acoustic engineering with real-world practicality—delivering the projection, clarity, and output required for modern live sound. Whether deployed in concert venues, churches, outdoor festivals, or corporate events, the TRC™ System offers a powerful solution that meets the demands of both audio professionals and production companies.
"We were all amazed with the tone, clarity, definition, coverage & volume produced from these compact enclosures. Everything about these cabs is stellar. The vocals & instruments are clean & detailed. Coverage & dispersion from front to back, left to right of the venue is even & clear - virtually eliminated hot spots & dead spots." - John H. Boston, MA
"Just a follow up to say how pleased I am with the TRC600A array we installed in the Haven event venue here in Birmingham, AL. After 6 months of operation with corporate events, private events, and bands, it is just what this venue needed. Great coverage, sound, and look. The system actually improved the overall acoustical sound of the room due to the limited vertical dispersion. Huge asset! Thx again for working with me & going the extra mile. Always loved Carvin! Rock on!"

"We ran the new system last night at a large church to try things out. Everyone was thoroughly impressed. Great coverage in a room that holds roughly 700 people. We will be putting it to good use this weekend for a band job a few hours away."
- Randy Y. Corydon, IN
"Have absolutely loved this system, it sounds awesome, and it is such an ease to set up. We have been 110% satisfied with the system, that’s why we are adding to the system to do outside and very large venues. We play 60 to 80 shows per year and are constantly getting asked where we got the system and I always tell them about Carvin."
- Roger V. Kansas City, MO
"I was blown away by the sheer volume and clarity of the rig. I couldn't believe how much sound was coming from the physically "thin" column array cabinets. From an audience perspective, the arrays accomplished more than just great sound, they also blocked less view of the band than traditional speaker stacks and were tall enough to project over the heads of guests who ended up standing right in front of them. We play all over the country and get to play on almost every line of sound equipment out there. We had a great experience with this design that was new to us. "
- Mark S. Nashville, TN
Simple setups are done through 4 presets for LIVE, PLAYBACK, SPEECH and SUB ONLY. Everything is managed by the Analog Devices™ DSP to maintain high headroom, distortion-free performances. The amplifiers deliver 2000W, 1000W for the 18-inch sub and 1000W for the HF SATELLITE output for the TRx3900F column arrays through a twist-lock connector. Featuring Powercon AC input, this system is tour ready.
The TRx3900FColumn Array is a high output, easy to carry sound reinforcement loudspeaker providing enhanced coverage with superb fidelity. Exclusively equipped with 9 Carvin Audio 3.5-inch transducers, it’s designed for all genres of music and venues, ranging from small to large events. The Constant Delivery Dispersion “CDD™” projects to the rear of the venue while averaging levels up front and its wide 120º dispersion covers larger audiences. The 10º vertical dispersion substantially minimizes feedback in reverberant environments.
Features:
» 9 3.5” drivers deliver exceptional levels from a single enclosure
» Projection up to 400’ from 1 TRx3900F stacked pair
» CDD™ Constant Delivery Dispersion technology eliminates front row blare & feedback
» Wide 120º horizontal coverage
» Requires fewer loudspeakers for the same coverage
The CB3900L holds two column speakers that are up to 5”W x 5.5”D x 35”L in size. Heavy duty velcro closing flap and two deep side pockets will provide the storage and protection you need for your column array loudspeakers. Add the CV3118A and CASTERTRX to round out your transport and protective accessories for your TRC System.
