The numbers in Figure 4 on the previous
page correspond with the numbered items
in this section.

2. High Frequency Level (dB)

Control

Alters tweeter output levels by -1, -.5, 0,
+.5, or +1dB.

3. Input Connectors

Provide high and low-frequency input
connections from the associated power
amplifier(s). Two high-frequency and
two low-frequency gold-plated binding
posts are available. These input
connectors can be configured for
single-wired, bi-wired, or bi-amplified
connections. Refer to the Making
Connections section that begins on
page 13 for additional information.

4. Shorting-Straps

Accommodate single-wired, bi-wired,
and bi-amplified connections. Two
gold-plated shorting-straps are installed
for single-wired connections. The
shorting-straps must be removed when
the input connectors are configured for
bi-wired or bi-amplified connections.
Refer to the Making Connections
section that begins on page 13 for
additional information.

LOUDSPEAKER
PLACEMENT

Loudspeaker fidelity depends on the following
three factors:

1. Loudspeaker accuracy

2. Listening room acoustics

3. Loudspeaker placement

Advanced Revel design features allow the
C32 to achieve stunning acoustical
precision with exceptional freedom from
coloration and distortion across a wide
dynamic range. As a result, experimenting
with loudspeaker placement will have the
most significant impact on the C32’s
performance.

In general, it is recommended to remove
all obstructions between the C32 and the
primary listening position. The input panel
Placement Compensation switch can be
used to optimize the C32’s performance for
the loudspeaker placement options
described in this section.

The C32 is magnetically shielded to
minimize any effect on CRT video monitors.
However, small, stray magnetic fields may
affect large CRT monitors located in close
proximity to the C32. These magnetic
fields decrease rapidly with distance, so
moving the C32 farther away from the
monitor will reduce interference. It is
important to confirm that the C32 is
suitable for use with the intended CRT
monitor.

Note

DLP, LCoS and Plasma display devices are
not affected by magnetic fields.

FLUSH MOUNTED

Set the Placement Compensation switch to
Flush Mounted if the C32 loudspeaker is
placed in a bookcase or wall unit as shown
in Figure 5 on the next page (top).
