Connecting the loudspeakers
Important
Before cabling disconnect your
hi-fi system (amplifier, receiver,
power amplifier etc.) from the
mains !
Connect the speaker outputs A
or B on the back of your
amplifier to the corresponding
terminal screws on the
speakers, using speaker cables
with bared ends. You must be
careful to keep the correct
polarity in order to ensure
perfect sound reproduction.
Connect:
Positive pole of the amplifier -
Positive pole of the speaker
Negative pole of the amplifier -
Negative pole of the speaker
Crossed polarity doesn't cause
any damage to the speaker or
the amplifier, but it leads to an
imprecise bass and a somewhat
diffused sound picture.
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: 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 inevitable loss.
