Revel in-ceiling speakers are the most easily installed in-ceiling
loudspeakers on the market. However, if you are unsure of your ability
to install these loudspeakers properly, please contact your dealer or a
qualified installer.
WARNING: HARMAN International assumes
no responsibility for improper installation of
hardware or for any personal injuries or product
damages resulting from improper installation or
a fallen loudspeaker.
CAUTION: Revel C760L loudspeakers are specifically
designed to be used only at frequencies above 80Hz, with a
suitable 80Hz or higher electronic crossover and powered
subwoofer. Do not operate the speakers at full range
(below 80Hz).
ConneCTing To The amPlifier
CAUTION: REMOVE POWER
You must connect the speaker wires before the speaker is fully
installed. To protect the audio system and yourself from damage
or injury through accidental electrical shorting and surges
during installation, turn all audio system power OFF before
beginning the speaker installation.
Speaker Wire
Use high-quality speaker wire to obtain the best performance from your
Revel in-ceiling speakers.
• For wire lengths of less than 50 ft (15m), use at least 16-gauge
speaker wire.
• For wire lengths between 50 ft and 100 ft (15m – 30m), use at least
12-gauge speaker wire.
• For wire lengths of greater than 100 ft (30m), use at least 10-gauge
speaker wire.
Note: All speaker wires must comply with all local building and
safety codes for use in in-ceiling applications.
Making Connections
Connect each channel’s positive (+) terminal on the back of the amplifier
or receiver to the positive (red) terminal on the corresponding speaker;
connect each channel’s negative (–) terminal on the back of the amplifier
or receiver to the negative (black) terminal on the corresponding
speaker. Do not reverse polarities (that is, do not connect + to –, or –
to +) when making connections. Doing so will cause poor imaging and
diminished bass response.

To avoid short circuits that may damage your equipment, be
certain that positive and negative wire strands do not touch
each other and do not touch metal parts such as the speaker
frame.
