2. Tweeter Level (dB) Switch
Alters tweeter output levels by –1, –0.5,
0, +0.5, or +1dB.
Note
Refer to the "Optimizing Performance"
section for more information about the
Low Frequency Compensation and Tweeter
Level switches.
3. Input Terminals
Provide high and low-frequency
connections from the associated power
amplifier(s). One pair of high-frequency
and one pair of low-frequency gold-
plated binding posts are available. The
input terminals can be configured for
single-wired, bi-wired, or bi-amplified
connections. Refer to the "Making
Connections" section for additional
information.
4. Shorting Straps
Accommodate single-wired, bi-wired,
and bi-amplified connections. Two
gold-plated shorting straps are installed
for single-wired connections. The
shorting straps must be removed when
the input terminals are configured for
bi-wired or bi-amplified connections.
Refer to the "Making Connections"
section for additional information.
INSTALLATION
CONSIDERATIONS
Loudspeaker fidelity depends on the
following three factors:
1. Loudspeaker accuracy
2. Loudspeaker placement
3. Listening room acoustics
Advanced Revel design features allow the
F52 to achieve exceptional acoustical
precision. Each F52 is individually hand-
tuned during manufacturing to match the
production reference standard within a
fraction of a decibel, ensuring incomparable
loudspeaker-to-loudspeaker consistency. As
a result, experimenting with loudspeaker
placement and listening room acoustics
have the most significant impact on the
F52's performance.
LOUDSPEAKER PLACEMENT
The bulleted items that begin below
indicate important loudspeaker placement
considerations for the F52.
• Remove all obstructions between the
F52 and the primary listening position.
For instance, a coffee table between the
F52 and the primary listening position
will degrade stereo imaging and tim-
bre. Placing the F52s near large objects
may also cause unwanted reflections.
• For the best stereo imaging, place the
F52s at equal distances from the
primary listening position and the side
walls as shown in Figure 5 (next page).
