- Page 2 Utilizing our own in-house developed 12” Shiva subwoofer driver, a CNC machined cabinet, and a built-in 250W amp with crossover, the Rava can meet nearly any audio reproduction requirement. And with the fine level of finishes available, it will fit in with nearly any décor.
- Page 3 Now, this may not seem like a big deal. But wait until you decide to move the sub to another room. There’s nothing worse than tripping over a dangling power cord. With Rava, simply detach the cord, and away you go! Note, too, that it’s a nice standard IEC-type cord (the same type used with most electronics now days).
- Page 4 Well, now we’re done with the marketing-speak. On to the details of using this sub system! The setup of Rava is rather simple: unpack, put in your room, plug it in, hook up to your signal source, and sit back! Well, maybe not that simple...
- Page 5 Connecting Rava will depend upon the type of system you’re going to use it with: processor with sub out, no sub out with Rava’s built-in high pass speaker level crossover for the mains, no sub out mains run full range.
- Page 6 SPEAKER INPUTS/ OUTPUTS In this case, you’ll want to use some thick wire from the processor to Rava, and then from Rava to the main speakers. Rava will do a passive high-level/speaker-level crossover between the processor and main speakers. Rava Owner’s Guide...
- Page 7 SPEAKER INPUTS/ OUTPUTS This is a fairly common connection scheme: the mains and Rava are driven in parallel from the speaker outputs. Here you don’t need thick wire for Rava, only for the main speakers. Rava Owner’s Guide Copyright © 2001 Adire Audio. All Rights Reserved.

Page 8: Gain Setting
Turn the gain all the way down. Now slowly increase the gain of the Rava amp until it sounds too “loud” in the bass. Back off the gain setting a bit. There, you’re done! NOTE: Home Theater processors with variable LFE outputs should use a bit different setup. -
Page 9: Tech Stuff
Adire loudspeakers are from a variety of vendors; each driver is individually selected to serve its role. The woofer used in Rava is Shiva, which is custom-built to our specifications. This is a completely unique driver, which was designed in-house by Adire’s engineering department. -
