Connecting the loudspeakers
Important
Before cabling disconnect your
hi-fi system (amplifier, receiver,
power amplifier etc.) from the
mains!
Connect the loudspeaker outputs A
or B on the back of your amplifier to
the corresponding terminal screws
on the speakers, using loudspeaker
cables with bared ends. Watch the
polarity:
amplifier - Ioudspeaker
amplifier - Ioudspeaker
Please note:
If one or even more speakers are
connected with the wrong polarity,
there is a significant reduction in
the bass reproduction and the
sound portrait is uneven and
diffused.
Cable Length & Cross Section
Revox
loudspeakers have
consistent electrical phase and
impedance characteristics and are
an uncritical load for the power
amplifier and the loudspeaker
cables.
Your specialist dealer offers
loudspeaker cables in diverse styles
and with various cross sections. He
will be glad to advise you according
to your individual needs.
In order to keep cable loss as low
as possible, we suggest the
following cable cross section
dimensioning scheme:
Cable length
Dimension
up to 5m / 16ft:
1.5 mm
2
/ AWG15
up to 10m / 33ft:
2.5 mm
2
/ AWG13
over 10m / 33ft:
4.0 mm
2
/ AWG11
We advise against using long
cables (more than 20 m / 65 feet)
because of inevitable loss.
