the REVEL ULTIMA SUB 30
(without its internal high-pass
crossover) between a stereo pre-
amplifier and main power
amplifier.
STEREO POWER AMPLIFIER AND A REVEL ULTIMA
SUB 30 WITHOUT HIGH-PASS CROSSOVER
Revel strongly recommends using both a low-pass and high-pass
crossover with any “main” left and right loudspeakers of any size.
The use of a high-pass crossover greatly reduces distortion, increases
dynamic range, and optimizes the transition from the REVEL
ULTIMA SUB 30 to the main loudspeakers.
If you plan to use the REVEL ULTIMA SUB 30 without a high-
pass crossover (see Figure 12), contact your Revel dealer for help in
setting the crossover controls so the main speakers and the REVEL
ULTIMA SUB 30 subwoofer(s) will produce an optimum com-
bined response.
