BI-AMPING

Bi-Amping extends the principle of bi-wiring one stage further. In this connection option separate power amplifiers
are used for bass and treble signals in each loudspeaker. Four mono (or two stereo) amplifiers of the same type
are required for a stereo pair of loudspeakers. Ensure that the link plates between the loudspeaker terminals are
removed and that correct polarity is maintained throughout.
If two stereo amplifiers are used, it is recommended that one amplifier supply bass information to left and right
loudspeakers and the other, the treble information. (See Fig. 4)

POSITIONING AND FINE TUNING

To get best results from your new Tannoy Revolution XT loudspeakers it is worthwhile spending a little time finding
the optimum setup configuration.
Begin by angling the speakers towards your chosen listening position, usually this is on the centre line of the room,
so that when seated you can just see the inner side panel of each speaker. The front of the loudspeaker should
not be obstructed in any way. The loudspeakers should be located between 1.5 to 4.5 metres (5 ft to 15 ft) apart -
with the listening position set slightly further away than the speakers are apart. Avoid positioning the loudspeakers
in corners of the room, as this will have a negative effect on performance. Ideally, maintain a distance of at least
0.5 metres (20") from the rear wall, and 1 metre (39") from the side. (See Fig. 5)

GRILLES

The Revolution XT grille has been designed to provide acoustic transparency. However, for ultimate fidelity the
enthusiast will appreciate the slight improvement in clarity and detail that is achieved by removing the grilles during
listening. It is held in place by concealed magnets, to promote a neat visual appearance when removed.

CARE OF CABINET

The cabinets should only be cleaned with a dry cloth or with a light application of quality non-silicone furniture polish.
