VL300 Legacy III
The opening editorial traces Steve Vai's relationship with Carvin from the X100B through the original Legacy and Legacy II, then announces that the third-generation Legacy would be unveiled at Winter NAMM in Anaheim on January 20, 2012
BR515 Bass Combo
The BR515 is a 15-inch bass combo built around Carvin's rackmount BX500 amplifier platform. Together with the companion BR510, it provides the BX500's 12AX7-driven preamp and extensive tone-shaping in a self-contained stage system. The catalog describes the amplifier as delivering 300 watts RMS into the internal 8-ohm speaker system, with the BR515 using a 15-inch low-frequency driver and a titanium compression high-frequency driver. A second speaker connection allows a BR115 or BR118 extension cabinet to bring the BX500 to its full 500-watt output at the appropriate load
EQ430 Digital EQ
The EQ430 is one of the clearest new professional-audio products in the 2012 catalog. It is the four-channel member of the new X-Drive digital-EQ pair, accompanied by the two-channel EQ230. Each channel provides 30 bands of 1/3-octave constant-Q equalization, with additional high- and low-pass filtering, limiting and delay. The units can be operated from the front panel or remotely through Carvin's USB X-Drive PC Network, and they can be used with the XD360 to provide overall system equalization and feedback control.
GX412T / GX412B
The GX412T and GX412B form Carvin's matching upper and lower 4×12 guitar cabinets for full-stack and half-stack configurations. In the 2012 catalog they are presented prominently with the X100B Series IV. Each closed-back cabinet uses four Carvin GT12 12-inch guitar speakers, with Celestion Vintage 30 upgrades offered as an option. The cabinets use premium 13-ply Poplar hardwood construction and can be operated in stereo or mono configurations.
LS1503 3-Way Loudspeaker
The LS1503 is Carvin's three-way LS-series main loudspeaker, designed to divide the audio spectrum among dedicated low-, mid- and high-frequency sections. A heavy-duty 15-inch woofer handles the low frequencies, a 6-inch midrange driver improves intelligibility and projection through the vocal and instrument range, and a 1-inch titanium HF driver handles the high-frequency band. Carvin rates the enclosure at 400 watts continuous, 800 watts program and 1600 watts peak into 8 ohms.
TRX215N Neo Loudspeaker
The TRx215N is the largest dual-15-inch full-range enclosure shown in the 2012 TRx range. It uses two lightweight neodymium 15-inch woofers with 3-inch voice coils plus a 2-inch-exit neodymium high-frequency driver with a 3-inch voice coil. Its quasi-three-way crossover lets the lower 15-inch driver reinforce the low-frequency range while the upper woofer continues farther into the midrange, and the 60° horizontal × 40° vertical horn controls high-frequency coverage. The cabinet can operate through its internal crossover or provide driver access for tri-amplification through NL8 connectivity.
