Introduction: Congratulations on purchasing a TRX3000 Series loudspeaker from Carvin Professional Audio Products. The TRx Series are designed to give you the best in audio quality and many years of reliable, trouble-free operation.
TRx3210 Specifications TRx3210F - with SureFly™ hardware pre-installed System Type: Dual 10-inch 3-Way, Reflex Frequency Response: 70 Hz – 18.5 kHz (-10DB) 85 Hz – 16 kHz (-3 dB) Coverage Pattern: 100˚ H x 10˚ V (single enclosure) Frequency Response Crossover: 3-Way Quasi Speaker Guard™ HF protection Crossover Frequencies: 500Hz & 1.
The Line Array Effect Line Array with J curve The line-array effect is achieved by the 0 degree coupling of the enclosures in the array. The inherent advantage of a line array design allows the rear audience to hear nearly the same levels as the front. The PurePath™ horn produces a tight 10 degree vertical x 100 degree horizontal pattern on a single cabinet. Conventional enclosures drop 6dB when doubling the distance to the listener.
Stacking and Flying Overview To take full advantage of the extremely flexible properties of the TRx3210 system, two modes of rigging systems have been developed. The first mode utilizes the interlocking feet and pole mounts and the second mode is using the optional SureFly™ hardware.
Stacking Array without hardware Each TRx3210 features durable feet and align to interlock without the need for additional hardware. This is ideal for stacking on top of a ground-stacked subwoofer or elevated using two SS4 poles. Stacking with hardware The SureFly™ hardware can also be utilized for ground stacking. The SureFly™ T-bar can be used as a base for a ground stacked array.
Assembling an Array Assembly and deployment of TRx3210 arrays are carried out one array module at a time or in pre assembled groups of array modules. After installing the SureFly™ hardware kit to each enclosure, attach the T-bar to the top array enclosure. The TRx3210F comes with preinstalled SureFlyTRx hardware. Each subsequent enclosure can be pinned at different angles to accomplish wide vertical coverage angles and focus sound energy where needed.
Step 3 Installing the Shackle Attach rated 5/8” shackle to lug # 4. Note: this position sets a basic starting point for a straight vertical hang.

Do not use a tool to tighten GROUND Straight Vertical Hang Step 4 Adding additional enclosures Attach a rated chain motor or hoist hook to the shackle. Using Lug #4the chain motor or hoist, lift asShacklearray module.
Pin Storage The quick-release pins can be stored in the handles on the inside of the SureFly hardware plates on each side of the array module. This keeps them from being misplaced or damaged during transport and holds the inner adjustment plate from swinging down. stment plate swin g Adju wn s do Step 5 Remove the lower quick-release pin from the handle storage location to release the adjustment plate. Allow the adjustment plate to swing down between the two side plates on the lower enclosure.
Step 6 continued If you require a J curve at the bottom of a long array or a curve array, adjust the pins on the lower enclosures to create the desired curve. There are 6 different angles that can be achieved between each enclosure by changing both pin positions. With the lower enclosure in the “A” position, the upper enclosure’s pin positions/angles are: 0, 2.5, 5 degrees. When adjusting angle pin, lower the front of the bottom cabinet to the desired angle. 0 degree Pin position 2.
T-Bar Hang Points To change the angle of the array, attach the shackle to the different lug holes as shown in the below diagram. The further back from center, a larger degree of forward tilt is achieved. By using two hang points and two chain motor hoists, the angle of the array can be changed by raising or lowering the front or back of the array by adjusting the chain motors. This requires the use of a second shackle as shown in the diagram below.
DB3210 Transport Dolly Board (optional) The optional Baltic Birch/Duratec™ DB3210 transport Dolly Board allows a block of up to four TRx3210 speaker cabinets to be conveniently transported in a pre-rigged configuration and is recommended as the most efficient way to truck and handle the cabinets.
Full Range or Bi-Amp Configuration Trx3210 Enclosures can be configured either in full range/passive mode or bi-amped 3-way mode. They ship from the factory as standard in full range/passive mode. Selecting from one to the other is as simples as flipping a concealed switch on the connection panel. Bi Amp Operation: Remove rubber plug marked Full Range/ BiAMP from connection panel.
Pin Flip Switch Carvin TRx3210 loudspeakers come with a speaker pin flip switch. In full range/passive mode, this switch allows the user to select operation from either pins 1+ & 1- (standard) or pins 2+ & 2-. This can significantly simplify speaker cable runs by half with 4-pin TwistLoc cables. Below are a few examples of how the pin flip switch is used. Remove rubber plug marked NORMAL/ PIN FLIP from connection panel.

Processor Settings for XD360, DCMLx or other speaker management systems For optimum performance, a loudspeaker management processor is recommended. Carvin offers both an outboard processor such as the XD360 X-Drive™ as well as the DCMLx power amps that have on-board X-Drive™ processing. Carvin’s XD360 and DCMLx power amps will have the TRx3210 crossover settings as a preset. The following charts provide a variety of settings that cover both full-range and bi-amping.
