Step Six

The wall-bracket design allows for rotation of the speakers
at angles up to 30º of center. Position the speakers so that
they face toward the primary listening position, before
fully tightening.

Wiring the Speaker

After placing the speaker, you are ready to connect it
to your system. First, turn off all audio-system power.
Use high-quality speaker wire to make the connections.
Consult the owner’s manuals included with your amplifier
or receiver, for connection and operation procedures.

Surround Modes

When using the system in a Dolby

®

Digital or DTS

®

home

theater system, make sure the receiver or processor is
set to “Small” for all M10 loudspeakers.

Some receivers/processors offer a choice of crossover
frequencies. Select 110Hz as the crossover frequency
for all M10 loudspeakers in the system.

Some Dolby Digital-equipped receivers/processors offer
different setup options for each source or surround
mode, e.g., CD-stereo, DVD, Dolby, Pro Logic

®

. In each

case, follow your equipment’s instructions to ensure that
the subwoofer output is turned on and that the speakers
are set to “Small” or to a crossover frequency of 110Hz
in each mode.

Wiring and Polarity

The M10 speaker has gold-plated terminals that can
accept bare wire.To ensure proper polarity, connect
each + terminal on the back of the amplifier or receiver
to the respective + (red) terminal on each speaker, as
shown in Figure 3. Connect the – (black) terminals in
a similar way. See the owner’s manuals that were
included with your amplifier or receiver to confirm
connection procedures.

Figure 3: This example shows how to connect bare
wires to the terminals. Banana plugs may also be
inserted directly into the rear of the connector.

1. Loosen the terminals.
2. Inset bare ends; tighten terminals.

Important! DO NOT reverse polarities (+ to – or
– to +) when making connections. Doing so will
degrade the imaging and bass response of the
home theater system.

After correctly placing and wiring the M10 and the rest
of your speaker system, adjust the levels for all of the
channels as recommended by the manufacturer of your
receiver/processor.

Maintenance
and Service

When needed, use a soft cloth to remove any fingerprints
or to wipe off dust. Do not use any cleaning products or
polish. Clean the grille by gentle vacuuming.

If your M10 loudspeaker should ever need service,
please contact your local dealer or distributor, or
visit www.revelspeakers.com for the location of a
service center.
