IWS 65/ 85
Re:sound I
10
Technical details
IWS 65 speaker polarity:
Connect the plus to the
red
speaker connector
Connect the minus to the black
speaker connector
IWS 85 speaker polarity:
Connect the speaker following the
+/- markings on the screw
connector
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 lengths and diameters
In order to keep the cabling and high
frequency losses to a minimum, we
recommend that you use cables with
the following diameter and always to
use 2-core cables.
Up to 15 m:
Ø 0.75 mm
2
Up to 30 m:
Ø 1.50 mm
2
Over 30 m:
Ø 2.50 mm
2
Up to 50 ft:
AWG 17
Up to 100 ft:
AWG 14
Over 100 ft:
AWG 12
We would advise against having
cable runs longer than 50 metres (165
ft) because of an unavoidable loss in
HiFi reproduction.
Load capacity
The power capacity details given on
the Revox rating plate refer to a
linearly set sound controller at the
amplifier.
You can use these speakers with an
amplifier with a higher output
performance. In this case, however,
you must ensure that the volume is
not turned up so high that your ear
becomes aware of an overload. You
will become aware of this in good
time by an increase in sound
distortion.
A short-term overload will not damage
your Revox speakers. If the chassis
should be damaged by a long-term
overload, this will be clearly
identifiable for a service technician. In
this case, you are no longer covered
by your Revox guarantee.
