Cable Choice - Tannoy revolution SIGNATURE Owner's Manual

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 10amps, 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 left and right speakers.
Remember, 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)
TERMINAL PANEL
An exclusive five way terminal panel has been designed for the Revolution Signature range to optimise
performance further by take advantage of the driver earthing facility. Use a shielded or screened loudspeaker
cable; connecting the screening termination to the earth or 'ground' (green) terminal on the loudspeaker and to
the ground or earth connection on the amplifier. Alternatively if you are not using a screened loudspeaker cable
but wish to utilise the earthing facility, run a single cable between the earth or 'ground' (green) terminal on the
loudspeaker to the earth (ground) connection on the amplifier. (See fig.2)
FLOOR STANDING MODELS
Revolution Signature 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.
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.
