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 corres-
ponding terminal screws on the
speakers, using loudspeaker
cables with bared ends. Watch
the polarity: connect the positive
pole of your amplifier to the
positive pole of your Ioud-
speaker.
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 D imension
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.
