maximum wire run
(with a maximum loop
resistance of 0.07 ohms)

response error.
NOTE: “Loop resistance” is the
DC resistance measured at one
end of a speaker cable, with the
other ends shorted together.
SPEAKER CONNECTIONS
SALON speakers can be connected to your audio system in three
different ways: single-wired, bi-wired or bi-amplified. Please read
the following three sections before proceeding with the actual con-
nections. Also, be sure to observe the following points:
different ways: single-wired, bi-wired or bi-amplified. Please read
the following three sections before proceeding with the actual con-
nections. 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 8 below to determine the maximum wire gauge.
Figure 8 below to determine the maximum wire gauge.
NOTE: Bi-wiring does not reduce the effective loop resistance
of individual runs. Higher loop resistance will result in mis-
termination of the filter networks, and serious degradation
of sound quality. Use high-quality connectors on the speaker
cables. Consult your Revel dealer as to specific recommenda-
tions 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.,

and

) 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 SALON speaker (refer to Figures 9,
