Revel Gem - Manual (Page 15)

Figure 13. How to connect
the REVEL ULTIMA GEM
loudspeaker in a vertical
bi-amplified system.
BI-AMPLIFIED SYSTEM CONNECTIONS
A bi-amplified system provides increased sonic performance,
since independent amplifier channels separately drive each set of
high- and low-frequency transducers. You can connect the loud-
speakers in either a vertical or horizontal bi-amplified system
without requiring an additional electronic crossover.
VERTICAL BI-AMPLIFIED SYSTEM
Using two identical amplifier channels, remove the shorting straps
from the rear panel; then connect the loudspeakers as shown in
Figure 13.
Failure to remove the shorting straps when bi-amplifying may
damage some amplifiers.
NOTE: When using two dissimilar amplifiers, connect the loudspeakers
in a horizontal bi-amplified system (see the next section).
