Optimizing Performance - REVELL Performa F52 Owner's Manual

Horizontal Bi-Amplified
Connections
(continued)
To make horizontal bi-amplified
connections:
1. Remove the shorting straps identified
in Figure 4.
2. Connect one pair of loudspeaker wires
to the high-frequency pair of F52 input
terminals. Then connect the same pair
of loudspeaker wires to the desired
power amplifier output channel.
3. Connect another pair of loudspeaker
wires to the low-frequency pair of F52
input terminals. Then connect the
same pair of loudspeaker wires to the
desired output channel on another
power amplifier.
Note
Horizontal bi-amplified connections can
be made using identical or non-identical
power amplifiers. However, these power
amplifiers must have identical gain
factors. If the gain factors are not
identical, a means of adjusting the input
level of at least one power amplifier is
required. Contact an authorized Revel
dealer for assistance.
4. Repeat step 2 to connect the high-
frequency pair of F52 input terminals
on the second F52 to the same power
amplifier that was selected in step 2.
5. Repeat step 3 to connect the low-
frequency pair of F52 input terminals
on the second F52 to the same power
amplifier that was selected in step 3.

OPTIMIZING
PERFORMANCE
To optimize the F52 for best performance:
1. Set the Tweeter Level switch to 0.
(Different listening rooms may require
other settings.)
2. Set the Low Frequency Compensation
switch to the appropriate position.
• Select the Normal setting if the
loudspeaker is located at least 3
feet (0.91m) from walls.
• Select the Contour setting to reduce
low-frequency signal levels. This
setting is useful for applications in
which the loudspeakers cannot be
optimally placed, or where room
acoustics result in excessive low-
frequency level. Such conditions
are common with stiff room
construction, such as concrete or
brick. The Contour setting cannot
perfectly counteract such conditions,
but in may cases can significantly
improve the overall spectral
balance.
• Select the Boundary setting if the
loudspeaker is built into an
entertainment center or shelving
unit or if the loudspeaker is located
less than about 2 feet (0.61m) from
walls and other objects.
3. Begin playback of a familiar music or
film source.
4. Listen from the primary listening
position, increasing volume to a
comfortable level.
