F208 Horizontal Bi-Amped Connections
CAUTION: Remove the shorting straps before making bi
-amped connections. Failure to do so may cause damage to
some power amplifi ers.
Horizontal bi-amped connections are made between both pairs of F208
input terminals and two separate output channels of two separate
power amplifi ers. The F208’s set of high-frequency input terminals is
connected to one power amplifi er, while the F208’s set of low-frequency
input terminals is connected to the other power amplifi er.
The two power amplifi ers can be identical or non-identical, but they
must have identical gain factors. If their gain factors are not identical,
at least one of the amplifi ers must have a means of adjusting its input
level. Contact your authorized Revel dealer for assistance.
NOTE: When making horizontal bi-amped connections, both
power amplifi ers must receive identical input signals from the
associated preamplifi er. If the associated preamplifi er does not
have two output connectors for each channel, “Y” adaptors are
required.
1. Remove the shorting straps.
2. Connect one speaker cable to the high-frequency set of F208 input
terminals. Then connect the other end of that speaker cable to the
desired power amplifi er output channel.
3. Connect another speaker cable to the low-frequency set of F208
input terminals. Then connect the other end of that speaker cable
to the desired output channel on another power amplifi er.
4. Repeat step 2 to connect the high frequency set of input terminals
on the second F208 to the other channel of the power amplifi er
that was connected in step 2.
5. Repeat step 3 to connect the low-frequency set of input terminals
on the second F208 to the other channel of the power amplifi er
that was connected in step 3.
6. Connect the left and right channel inputs of the high-frequency
amplifi er to the preamplifi er’s left and right outputs. Repeat for
the left and right inputs of the low-frequency amplifi er. If the
preamplifi er only has one connector for each channel, use “Y”-
adaptors.
