Configuration

First contact

Various connections have to be made
before setting up your S118 for the first
time.

Speakers and outputs

Use cables with sufficient cross section
profile to connect your speakers to the
S118.
The Revox recommendation:
Length 0 - 5 m: min. 1.5 mm
Length 5 - 10 m: min. 2.5 mm
Each speaker must have an impedance
of at least 4Ω. You must ensure that all
the cable strands are located correctly
in the speaker connection terminal and
that no individual strand is touching
another connector or has contact with
the S118 housing.
Fully-insulated banana plugs provide an
elegant solution for making speaker
connections. The screw connectors
must be fully tightened to ensure a
secure contact.
Ensure correct polarity when connecting
the cables in order to ensure perfect
stage sound reproduction. Crossed
polarity doesn't cause any damage to
the speaker or the amplifier, but it leads
to an imprecise and somewhat diffused
sound picture that is weak in the bass
ranges.

Power cable

Only use the power cable supplied by
Revox. AC Power 100 – 240 VAC.

LAN/WLAN network connection

The S118 network receiver is designed
for network-based functions, such as
playing Internet radio or as a streaming
client for your music library that is
located on a network hard drive. The
receiver needs access to your network
for these functions. This can be done
preferably through
connection, using the supplied RJ45
network cable or wirelessly through a
WLAN (WLAN antenna suppied).
The reason for preferring a wired LAN
connection to a WLAN connection is its
reduced susceptibility to failures and the
option of being able to transmit high-
resolution audio formats (≥ 96 kHz)
without any interruptions. If a LAN
connection is used, the WLAN function
is switched off. In this case, the supplied
WLAN antenna is not needed. The
wireless connection to the S208 remote
control is done through the radio (RF)
module integrated in the glass front
panel, which is independent of the
WLAN.
