CABLE CHOICE

Always use the best quality of cable available within your budget. High quality audio signals passing from the
amplifier to the loudspeaker are unusual in their demands on the cable. Wide dynamic range and frequency
bandwidth information has to coexist with the ability to transmit peak currents of at least 10 amps, without
incurring any loss or signal impairment. This explains why the sound quality of the information reproduced by the
loudspeakers is so dependant on the physical properties of the cables connecting them to the amplifier.
We would recommend that you always keep the cable runs the same length for each speaker. Remember that
cable construction can affect the sound quality so be prepared to experiment to find a cable that suits your ear
and audio system.

UNPACKING

To unpack the loudspeakers from their boxes remove tape from the top then fold the flaps right back before
inverting the carton and contents. Lift the carton clear of the contents then remove all inner packaging.
It is strongly recommended that you store all the packaging to allow protected transportation in future. (See fig. 1)

FLOOR STANDING MODELS

Revolution floor-standing models perform best with carpet piercing spikes fitted. These are supplied, along with
lock nuts, and should be inserted into the threaded holes in the base of the cabinet. Level the speaker and then
tighten the lock nuts firmly but without using undue force. Spike locating cups are provided in the accessory pack
and these may be used to protect sensitive floor surfaces.
For optimum stability and sound quality, we recommend you fit the optional plinth to the loudspeaker. Fitting
instructions are included within the plinth pack.
WARNING:
Ensure that the spikes are levelled and that the lock nuts are tightened firmly. The spikes should be pushed
through the carpet to locate into the flooring surface by applying pressure to the top of the cabinet.
If using on a sensitive floor surface place the protective cups under the levelled spikes. Failure to do so
could render the speaker unsteady and result in damage or injury should it be knocked over.
