HORIZONTAL BI-AMPLIFIED CONNECTIONS
Horizontal bi-amplified connections are made between both
pairs of Salon2/Studio2 terminals and two separate output
channels on two separate power amplifiers. The high-frequency
pair of Salon2/Studio2 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 11.
To make horizontal bi-amplified connections:
1. Remove the jumper straps identified in Figure 4, page 9.
2. Connect one pair of loudspeaker wires to the high-frequency
pair of Salon2/Studio2 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 Salon2/Studio2 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.
