Amplifiers
Model RGSB (Bookshelf) – are designed for use with quality amplifiers that
have a power rating of 30 - 150 watts RMS (for example, the REDGUM
Audio RGi35, RGi60, or RGi120).
Model RGS38i (Floorstanding) – are designed for use with quality
amplifiers that have a power rating of 50 - 200 watts RMS (for example,
the REDGUM Audio RGi120 or RGM175).
Loudspeaker cables
Cable quality and construction do make a difference to sound quality, and
we recommend the use of thick copper cables. When choosing cables,
look at a cross-section of the bare cable to determine its actual thickness,
unmagnified by the surrounding plastic. Choose a cable that offers a
large perimeter of copper, as a large surface area will assist transmission
of the signal.
To minimise the effects of RF interference, keep your speaker cables
uncoiled and away from mains power cables. Wherever possible, keep the
lengths of cable the same for the left and right channels.
Note
Important safety note – Always remember that all speaker cables carry
electrical current. Never touch bare wires! Do not leave any wires with bare
ends exposed where they can come into contact with other cabling,
terminals or humans. Any bare sections of wire should be secured by
covering with electrical insulation tape.
