Figure 11. 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
For best results, please read the following points before connecting
the REVEL PERFORMA M20 loudspeakers:
• 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 11 below to determine the maximum wire gauge.
NOTE: A high 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 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, as shown in Figure 12 on the next page. Failure to
do so will cause poor imaging and diminished bass response.
