REVEL PERFORMA F50a

Owner’s Manual

Figure 7. Wire gauge versus
maximum wire run (with a
maximum loop resistance of
0.07 ohms) for less than 0.2 dB
response error.

NOTE: “Loop resistance” is the
DC resistance measured at one
end of a loudspeaker cable, with
the other ends shorted together.

CONNECTIONS

Revel Performa F50a loudspeakers can be connected to your audio
system in three different ways: single-wired, bi-wired, or bi-ampli-
fied. Please read the following three sections before proceeding with
the actual connections. Also, be sure to observe the following
points:

• Use high-quality speaker cable with a maximum total loop resis-

tance (for each wire run) of 0.07 ohms or less. Use the chart in
Figure 7 below to determine the maximum wire gauge.

NOTE: A high loop resistance will result in mis-termination of the fil-
ter networks, and serious degradation of sound quality. Use high-qual-
ity connectors on the speaker cables. Consult an authorized Revel deal-
er 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 cause poor imaging and
diminished bass response.

• For bi-wired or bi-amplified applications, remove the shorting

straps on the rear of each F50a loudspeaker (refer to Figures 8,
9, and 10 on the next three pages).
