C208 Bi-Amped Connections
CAUTiOn: Remove the shorting straps before making
bi-amped connections. Failure to do so may cause damage
to some power amplifiers.
Bi-amped connections are made between both pairs of C208 input
terminals and two separate output channels of a single power amplifier.
Each C208 input is connected to an individual power amplifier channel,
which can sometimes increase sonic performance.
nOTE:
When making bi-amped connections, both power amplifier
channels must receive identical input signals from the associated
preamp/processor. If the associated preamp/processor only has
one connector for the center channel, a “Y” adapter is required.
1. Remove the shorting straps.
2. Connect one loudspeaker cable to the high-frequency set of C208
input terminals. Then connect the other end of that loudspeaker
cable to the desired power amplifier output channel.
3. Connect another loudspeaker cable to the low-frequency set
of C208 input terminals. Then connect the other end of that
loudspeaker cable to the other output channel of the same power
amplifier you connected to the high-frequency input terminals.
4. Connect both amplifier channel inputs to the center channel output
of the preamp/processor. If the preamp/processor only has one
connector for the center channel, use a “Y”-adaptor.
nOTE: Do not use an electronic crossover network when
bi-amping a Revel C208 loudspeaker. Doing so will cause a
considerable degradation of sound quality.
