HORIZONTAL BI-AMPLIFIED CONNECTIONS
Horizontal bi-amplified connections are made between both
pairs of Voice2 terminals and two separate output channels on
two separate power amplifiers. The high-frequency pair of Voice2
input terminals are connected to one power amplifier, while the
low-frequency pair are connected to another power amplifier.
These power amplifiers can be identical or non-identical, but
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. Horizontal bi-amplified connections
are shown in Figure 14.
To make horizontal bi-amplified connections:
1. Remove the jumper straps identified in Figure 3.
2. Connect one pair of loudspeaker wires to the high-frequency
pair of Voice2 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 Voice 2 input terminals. Then connect the
same pair of loudspeaker wires to the desired output channel
on another power amplifier.
4. Make sure that all terminals are firmly hand-tightened.

Note
When making horizontal bi-amplified connections, both power
amplifiers must receive identical input signals from the associated
preamplifier. A “y” adaptor is required if the associated preamplifier
does not offer two connectors per output channel. Otherwise, each
power amplifier can be connected to a separate connector for the
same output channel of the preamplifier.
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.
