Cable Choice
Always use the best quality of cable available within your budget. High quality audio signals passing from the amplifier to the loudspeaker are unusual in their
demands on the cable. Wide dynamic range and frequency bandwidth information has to coexist with the ability to transmit peak currents of at least 10 amps,
without incurring any loss or signal impairment. This explains why the sound quality of the information reproduced by the loudspeakers is so dependent on the
physical properties of the cables connecting them to the amplifier. We would recommend that you always keep the cable runs as short as possible and the same length
for each speaker. Remember that cable construction can affect the sound quality so be prepared to experiment to find a cable that suits your ear and audio system.
Unpacking
To unpack the loudspeakers from their boxes remove tape from the top then fold the flaps right back before inverting the carton and contents. Lift the carton clear of
the contents then remove all inner packaging. It is strongly recommended that you store all the packaging to allow protected transportation in future.
Floor Standing Models
Revolution XT floor-standing models perform best with carpet piercing spikes fitted. These are supplied, along with lock nuts, and should be inserted into the
threaded holes in the base of the cabinet. Level the speaker and then tighten the lock nuts firmly but without using undue force. Spike locating cups are provided in
the accessory packand these may be used to protect sensitive floor surfaces.
Warning:
Ensure that the spikes are levelled and that the lock nuts are tightened firmly. The spikes should be pushed through the carpet to locate into the flooring
surface by applying pressure to the top of thecabinet.If using on a sensitive floor surface place the protective cups under the levelled spikes. Failure to do
so could render the speaker unsteady and result in damage or injury should it be knocked over.
Stand Mounting Models
Stand mounting or bookshelf speakers should be located securely on stands or a shelf in an appropriate position to place the Dual Concentric driver high frequency
unit roughly at ear height when seated in the chosen listening position. Positioning recommendations for stand-mounted speakers can be found under the section
entitled "Positioning and fine tuning". The Revolution XT Mini may also be wall mounted with a suitable bracket, using two inserts on the rear of the loudspeaker, with
standard 60 mm spacing. The thread in the inserts is M5. It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure the chosen bracket is used within its load rating, and the
bracket is securely mounted to the wall with suitable hardware.
Installation
To avoid potential damage to your loudspeaker, ensure that the amplifier is switched OFF prior to connecting or disconnecting any cables. Before switching on double
check that all connections are secure and that polarity is correct.
Connection in Single Wire Mode
For single wire mode, leave the link plates between the LF and HF terminals in place. For optimum performance in single wire mode, loudspeaker cable connections
from the amplifier should be made to the high frequency (HF) terminals of the loudspeaker.

LINKS IN PLACE
• The positive (plus) terminal on the amplifi er left channel (marked + or coloured red) must be connected to the positive HF terminal on the left speaker. The left speaker is the one on the left as you look
at the stereo pair from your listening position.
• The negative (minus) terminal on the amplifi er left channel (marked - or coloured black) must be connected to the negative HF terminal on the left speaker.
• Repeat this connection process for the right speaker. Remember that the positive (+ or red) on the amplifi er must be connected to the positive (+ or red) on the speaker and the negative (- or black)
to negative.
• Select a signal source, such as a CD player; switch on the amplifi er and slowly turn up the volume control to check that both loudspeakers are reproducing bass and treble information.
