Connecting the speakers
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 the positive pole of the
amplifier to the positive 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 lengths & cross sections
Revox speakers have consistent
electrical phase and impedance
characteristics and are an uncritical
load for the power amplifier and the
speaker cables.
Your specialist dealer offers
speaker cables in different 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 10 m / 33 ft 1.5 mm
2
/ AWG15
over 10 m / 33 ft 2.5 mm
2
/ AWG13
We advise against using long
cables (more than 30 m / 100 feet)
because of inevitable loss.
