APS Powered Speaker Series
The APS Powered Speaker Series is one of the most important 2003 additions. It converts several Carvin loudspeaker platforms into active systems by adding DCM-derived power amps, active electronic crossovers, time alignment, and onboard EQ. The 2-way APS models are bi-amped, while the 3-way models are tri-amped. This lets users connect a mixer or source directly to the loudspeaker instead of building a separate rack with amps and crossovers. The line also extends into powered subwoofers, making APS a complete powered speaker family rather than a single powered loudspeaker.
C1644P Powered Mixing Console
The C1644P is a major 2003 addition because it combines the Concert 44 Series mixer platform with built-in power amplification. It is based on the 16-channel, 4-bus C1644 design but adds four internal 300-watt power amps for 1200 watts total. The catalog presents it as a sound-on-the-go solution in a built-in Road Warrior case, reducing the need for a separate mixer, power amp rack, and processor setup.
Road Warrior PA Powered Mixers
The Road Warrior PA Mixers continue the portable PA direction from 2001 but receive stronger visual and package emphasis in the 2003 catalog. The PA800 and PA1200 are 1000-watt powered mixers with three internal amplifiers, allowing users to run stereo mains and stage monitors from one compact unit. The Road Warrior case option turns these mixers into more durable mobile systems for clubs, churches, schools, and working bands.
Pro Mix 7 DJ Mixer
The Pro Mix 7 gives the 2003 catalog a dedicated DJ mixer platform. It is a 7-channel rack mount mixer with four stereo channels, three mic channels, 24-bit effects, A/B crossfader, talk over, monitoring, zone output, mono output, and a subwoofer output with internal crossover. It sits alongside Carvin’s lighting products, making the DJ section more complete than a simple accessory page.
KB Series Keyboard Amps and Combos
The Keyboard Amp section is expanded in 2003 with a stronger professional keyboard system identity. The KB1000 is a rack mount stereo keyboard amplifier and mixer platform intended for multi-keyboard players, modules, drum machines, and monitor setups. The KB1010 and KB1015 turn that concept into portable speaker systems, while KB100 remains the smaller keyboard combo option.
AC120S Power Sequence Conditioner
The catalog page clearly shows the AC120 power conditioner/distributor. The requested The AC120 is a 1U rack power conditioner and distributor intended for protecting and organizing rack systems with a sequenced power on off feature for the 10 outlets.
FX2 Rack Mount Effects Processor
The FX2 is a 24-bit dual-engine stereo effects processor. It expands the rack gear section with a dedicated outboard effects unit that mirrors the simple, knob-based effects approach used in Carvin’s powered mixers and Concert Series consoles. Instead of deep menu programming, the FX2 is built around direct controls for effect type and parameters.
H400 Headphone Amplifier
The H400 is a four-channel headphone amplifier designed for recording and monitoring environments. It provides four independent stereo or mono headphone mixes from multiple input sources. The catalog emphasizes extended headroom, balanced XLR and 1/4-inch inputs, front-panel aux input, and enough flexibility for performers to hear custom blends.
CG200 Optical Compressor
The CG200 is a two-channel optical compressor/gate. It adds a studio-style dynamics processor to the 2003 rack gear section and is positioned as a more natural-sounding alternative to inexpensive VCA-based compressors. Its optical design, gate section, side-chain access, stereo linking, bypass, and metering make it useful for live racks and studio recording.
