Remove the input panel jumper-straps identified in Figure 3 before making bi-wired or bi-amplified connections. Failure to do so may cause damage to some power amplifiers. Before making connections, note the following: · The standard connections method uses a single loudspeaker cable. The Voice2 is equipped with two pairs of input terminals to allow for bi-wiring or bi-amplification. While Revel does not endorse one particular connection method over another, these additional connection options are available if desired. The design of this loudspeaker is such that optimal performance can be attained using the standard connection method. Make all connections observing the proper polarity, positiveto-positive (+) and negative-to-negative (-). Connections that do not observe the proper polarity will cause poor stereo imaging and diminished bass response. Use high-quality loudspeaker cable with a maximum total loop resistance of 0. 07 Ohms or less (for each wire run). Refer to the following table to determine the appropriate wire gauge. 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 · · Note High loop resistances that exceed 0. 07 Ohms (for each wire run) will cause the filter network to be mis-terminated, resulting in considerable degradation of sound quality. Ultima Voice2 Owner's Manual 17 · Vertical bi-amplified connections must be made with identical power amplifiers. Horizontal bi-amplified connections can be made with identical or non-identical power amplifiers with identical gain factors. When making bi-amplified connections, both power amplifiers must receive identical input signals from the associated preamplifier. A "Y" adaptor is required if the associated preamplifier does not offer two connectors per output channel. Otherwise, each power amplifier can be connected to a separate connector for the same output channel of the preamplifier. If desired, contact an authorized Revel dealer for information about the suitability of power amplifier components before connecting the Voice2 to the associated power amplifier. Review the owner's manuals for associated audio components to determine their connection procedures. · · · 18 Ultima Voice2 Owner's Manual SINGLE WIRED CONNECTIONS Single-wired connections are the most common.
