• Be sure that the amplifi er is switched OFF and then prepare the two sets of cabling for each "side" of the system separately. Measure and cut four lengths of cable, two per speaker.
• Label two of the cable lengths Left LF and Left HF (low frequency and high frequency) then repeat this process for the right pair.
• If your amplifi er is not equipped with separate output terminals for bass and treble information then, at the amplifi er end of the cables, twist the Left LF+ (positive) and the Left HF+ (positive) together.
Connect these to the amplifi er Left channel positive terminal marked + (plus) or coloured red.
• Twist the Left LF- (negative) and the HF- (negative) cables together and connect them to the amplifi er Left channel negative terminal marked - (minus) or coloured black.
• At the loudspeaker end connect the cables labelled Left LF+ and Left LF- to the left hand loudspeaker LF terminals, ensuring that you note the polarity markings on the cable sheathing.
• Then proceed to connect the Left HF+ and Left HF- to the HF terminals on the same loudspeaker.
• Repeat this process to connect the right hand loudspeaker to the amplifi er right channel output, once again ensuring that polarity is correct throughout.
• Switch the amplifi er on with the volume control set at its lowest setting. Select a favourite source and slowly turn up the volume to a low level. Check that bass and treble information is being
reproduced from both speakers – if not, switch OFF the amplifi er and recheck the connections.

Bi-Amping
Bi-Amping extends the principle of bi-wiring one stage further. In this connection option separate power amplifiers are used for bass and treble signals in each
loudspeaker. Four mono (or two stereo) amplifiers of the same type are required for a stereo pair of loudspeakers. Ensure that the link plates between the loudspeaker
terminals are removed and that correct polarity is maintained throughout. If two stereo amplifiers are used, it is recommended that one amplifier supply bass
information to left and right loudspeakers and the other, the treble information.

Positioning and Fine Tuning
To get best results from your new TANNOY Revolution XT loudspeakers it is worthwhile spending a little time finding the optimum setup configuration. Begin by
angling the speakers towards your chosen listening position, usually this is on the centre line of the room, so that when seated you can just see the inner side panel of
each speaker. The front of the loudspeaker should not be obstructed in any way. The loudspeakers should be located between 1.5 to 4.5 metres (5 ft to 15 ft) apart
– with the listening position set slightly further away than the speakers are apart. Avoid positioning the loudspeakers in corners of the room, as this will have a
negative effect on performance. Ideally, maintain a distance of at least 0.5 metres (20") from the rear wall, and 1 metre (39") from the side.
