Revel Performa3 F208 Owner's Manual

9

Vertical bi-amped connections are made between both pairs of F208 
input terminals and two separate output channels of a single power 
amplifi er. Each F208 loudspeaker is connected to an individual power 
amplifi er, which can sometimes increase sonic performance. The power 
amplifi ers for the two loudspeakers must be identical.

power amplifi ers, one for each loudspeaker. 

s

amplifi er channels must receive identical input signals from the 
associated preamplifi er. If the associated preamplifi er does not 
have two output connectors for each channel, “Y” adaptors are 
required.

1.  Remove the shorting straps.

2.   Connect one speaker cable to the high-frequency set of F208 input 

terminals. Then connect the other end of that speaker cable to the 
desired power amplifi er output channel.

3.   Connect another speaker cable to the low-frequency set of F208 

input terminals. Then connect the other end of that speaker 
cable to another output channel of the same power amplifi er you 
connected to the high-frequency input terminals.

4.   Connect both amplifi er channel inputs to the output of a single 

preamplifi er channel. If the preamp only has one connector for the 
channel, use a “Y”-adaptor.

5.   Repeat steps 1, 2 and 3 to connect the second F208 to another, 

identical power amplifi er. Repeat step 4 to connect the second 
amplifi er to the preamplifi er’s other channel.
