Congratulations on your selection of the 

TRx 

loudspeaker.  

TRx

represents

Carvin's highest performance sound reinforcement loudspeakers.  The 

TRx

series was designed from the beginning as a complete system using the high-
level components needed in a professional sound rig. The 

TRx

series includes:

12" and 15" dual angle 2-way monitor/mains speakers,  a 15" 3-way medium
throw passive or triamp mains speaker and a powerful dual 18" subwoofer.
Each 

TRx

cabinet is constructed of cross grain 13 ply laminated 

Baltic Birch

plywood with internal bracing to increase efficiency and eliminate cabinet
resonance.  Specially selected drivers for each loudspeaker assure optimum
performance and each enclosure is covered in Carvin's 

Duratex™

scratch-

resistant, UV stable, weatherproof polyurethane finish.  For install and concert
rigs, the 

TRx

series includes fly point on all enclosures except subwoofer.
