Revel F12 - Manual (Page 17)

17 REVEL Concerta F12
Owner’s Manual
Note
Horizontal bi-amplified connections can
be made using identical or dissimilar
power amplifiers. However, these power
amplifiers must have identical “gain
factors.” If the gain factors are dissimilar,
a means of adjusting the input level of at
least one power amplifier is required.
Contact an authorized Revel dealer for
assistance.
5. Repeat step 3 to connect the input con-
nectors labeled LF (Low Frequency) on
the second F12 to the same power
amplifier that was selected in step 3.
CAUTION
• Failure to remove the shorting straps
may damage the associated power
amplifiers.
OPTIMIZING
PERFORMANCE
To optimize the F12 for best performance:
1. Make connections with power amplifi-
er(s). See the Making Connections
section beginning on page 13.
2. Begin playback of a familiar music or
film source.
• It is recommended to listen to well-
recorded dialogue from more than
one film source, as sound quality
varies from film to film.
3. Listen from the primary listening
position, increasing volume to a
comfortable level.
4. Experiment with the F12 loudspeaker’s
placement to achieve the best overall
tonal balance, image precision, and
sense of spaciousness in the listening
room. Refer to the Loudspeaker
Placement section that begins on page
10 for additional information about
loudspeaker placement.
5. Repeat these steps to optimize
performance of the second F12.
LOUDSPEAKER VOLUME LEVELS
High-order filters include steep cut-offs to
reduce potential damage from “out-of-
band” frequencies. Combined with carefully
designed transducers and filter networks,
this approach helps the F12 to maintain its
performance under extreme operating con-
ditions.
However, all loudspeakers have limits
when it comes to continuous playback. To
extend these limits, avoid playback at
volume levels that distort or strain sound.
CAUTION
To avoid damage, reduce volume level
immediately if loudspeaker sound is not
clean and clear.
