Steve Vai Legacy Series
The Steve Vai Legacy Series is the defining artist product of the 1999 catalog. The cover announces the Vai Legacy, and the opening spotlight explains Vai’s Carvin history, including early MX sound-system use, X100B stacks, “Blue Powder,” “The Attitude Song,” and the movie “Crossroads.” The catalog describes the Legacy as a long-discussed signature amplifier project developed through extensive listening tests of tube circuits, electronic circuits, prototype enclosures, vintage speakers, and styling details. Vai selected Celestion G12M Greenbacks for the speaker system, and the finished amp uses his visual direction, brown covering, chicken-head controls, and personal anagram logo.
Concert Series Mixers
The Concert Series mixers are a major 1999 development because they move Carvin’s mixer line beyond powered portable systems into a broader live-console family. The line begins with the C800 8-channel mixer, expands into the C1600 and C2400 stereo mixers, and then moves into the C2440 and C3240 4-buss consoles. Across the series, Carvin emphasizes high headroom, low noise, 24-bit Motorola DSP, Crystal 20-bit converters, 100 kHz switching power supplies, premium Neutrik / Re-an connectors, grouped phantom power, direct outs, inserts, monitor sends, stereo returns, and live sound packaging with DCM amplifiers and larger loudspeakers.
CX1272 Stereo Mixer
The CX1272 updates the earlier CX powered mixer platform into a stronger 700-watt stereo package. It is part of the high-powered X72 Series, alongside the CX872 and rackmount CX1272R. The catalog positions the CX1272 as a portable high-power mixer with 12 channels, 350 watts per side, dual 9-band EQs, stereo digital effects, phantom power, XLR and 1/4-inch inputs on every channel, and the ability to power main speakers and monitors through the internal amp routing. It appears in packages with 832, 1584, and 1562 loudspeakers.
TR1802 DJ Loudspeaker
The TR1802 is a 1999 TR Series loudspeaker aimed directly at DJ and dance-club applications. Unlike the TR1801 subwoofer, the TR1802 is a full-range two-way loudspeaker built around an 18-inch woofer and 2-inch titanium horn driver. Carvin frames it as a cabinet for “Dance Club” sound, combining chest-pumping sub-bass with bright, cutting highs. It shares the trapezoid enclosure concept, 15-degree side angles, Speakon / 1/4-inch hookups, and selectable bi-amp operation with the broader TR Series.
1562 Dual 15-Inch Loudspeaker
The 1562 is one of the most important new loudspeaker additions in 1999 because it fills the space between smaller two-way boxes and the larger 3-way 1584 / 1588 systems. Carvin describes it as its best-value high-powered compact two-way system, designed for larger clubs, churches, school gyms, and outdoor events. Its dual 15-inch format, 600-watt continuous rating, tri-port bass reflex enclosure, 102 dB sensitivity, and 4-ohm impedance make it a practical high-output box for CX1272 and Concert Series packages.
PM5 Indoor/Outdoor Program Monitor
The PM5 is a compact indoor/outdoor program monitor that gives the 1999 catalog a new installation and distributed-audio category beyond the larger PA cabinets. It is aimed at studios, commercial buildings, schools, boardrooms, restaurants, home stereo/home theater use, patios, and outdoor facilities. The catalog emphasizes its accurate response out to 19.5 kHz, bass-reflex tuned-port enclosure, 100-watt RMS handling, swivel OMNI tweeter, wall/ceiling mounting options, and water-resistant design that Carvin tested by submerging the drivers for 12 hours while the speakers continued to perform.
