Connecting the speakers
P
LEASE NOTE
Before connecting the speakers
to your hi-fi system (amplifier,
receiver, power amplifier etc.),
make sure this has been fully
unplugged from the mains.
Connect the speaker outputs A
or B on the back of your
amplifier to the corresponding
terminal screws on the
speakers, having first removed
the insulation from the ends of
the speaker cables.
You must be careful to keep the
correct polarity in order to
ensure perfect stage sound
reproduction.
Positive pole of the amplifier to
the positive pole of the speaker
Negative pole of the amplifier
to the negative pole of the
speaker
Crossed polarity doesn't cause
any damage to the speaker or
the amplifier, but it leads to an
imprecise, bassy and somewhat
diffused sound picture.
Cable Length & Cross Section
Revox loudspeakers have
balanced electrical impedance
and phase characteristics and
represent an uncritical load for
the power amplifier and the
loudspeaker cables.
Your specialist dealer stocks
loudspeaker cables in various
styles and with different cross
sections and will be glad to
advise you according to your
individual needs.
In order to keep cable loss as
low as possible however, we
suggest the following cable
cross section dimensioning
scheme:
Cable Length Cross Section
up to 5m / 16ft: 2.5 mm
2
/ AWG15
up to 20m / 66ft: 4.0 mm
2
/ AWG13
We advise against using long
cables (more than 20 m / 66
feet), because of the inevitable
sound loss.
