Figure 16. How to connect the
EMBRACE for dipole or bipole
operation, the most common type
of installation.
NOTE: Do not remove the gold-
plated shorting straps.
SPEAKER CONNECTIONS
The EMBRACE surround speakers can be connected to your sys-
tem in a variety of ways, as discussed in the following sections.
Also, please observe these points:
• Use high-quality speaker cable of sufficient gauge (maximum
total loop resistance of 0.1 ohms per channel) with high-quali-
ty connectors between the speaker and your audio system.
Consult your Revel dealer as to specific recommendations for
your application.
• Turn off all audio system power before making any connections.
• Read the owner’s manuals that were included with your audio
components to confirm their connection procedures.
• Verify correct polarities (i.e., + to + and - to -) when making
connections. Failure to do so will degrade the EMBRACE’s
performance.
DIPOLE OR BIPOLE SYSTEM CONNECTIONS
For dipole or bipole operation, simply leave the EMBRACE short-
ing straps in place. Using correct polarity, connect either set of ter-
minals to an amplifier channel output, as shown in Figure 16.
