Vertical Bi-Amplified Connections
(continued)
To make vertical bi-amplified connections:
1. Remove the input panel shorting-straps
identified in Figure 4 (page 9).
2. Connect one pair of loudspeaker wires
to the C32 input connectors labeled
High Frequency. Then, connect the
same pair of loudspeaker wires to the
desired power amplifier output channel.
3. Connect another pair of loudspeaker
wires to the C32 input connectors
labeled Low Frequency. Then, connect
the same pair of loudspeaker wires to a
separate power amplifier output
channel.
Note
Vertical bi-amplified connections must be
made using two separate output channels
on one power amplifier or separate output
channels on two identical power amplifiers.
HORIZONTAL BI-AMPLIFIED
CONNECTIONS
Horizontal bi-amplified connections are
made between both pairs of C32 input
connectors and two separate output
channels on two separate power amplifiers.
The C32 input connectors labeled High
Frequency are connected to one power
amplifier, while the C32 input connectors
labeled Low Frequency 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 13 at the top of the
next page.
Note
When making horizontal bi-amplified
connections, both power amplifiers must
receive identical input signals from the
associated pre-amplifier. A “Y” adaptor is
required if the associated pre-amplifier
does not offer two connectors per output
channel.
To make horizontal bi-amplified
connections:
1. Remove the input panel shorting-straps
identified in Figure 4 (page 9).
2. Connect one pair of loudspeaker wires
to the C32 input connectors labeled
High Frequency. Then, connect the
same pair of loudspeaker wires to the
desired power amplifier output channel.
3. Connect another pair of loudspeaker
wires to the C32 input connectors
labeled Low Frequency. Then, connect
the same pair of loudspeaker wires to
the desired output channel on another
power amplifier.
Note
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.
