C426BE BI-AMPED CONNECTIONS

CAUTION: Remove the shorting straps before making bi-amped connections. Failure

to do so may cause damage to some power ampliﬁers.

Bi-amped connections are made between both pairs of C426Be input terminals and two

separate output channels of a single power ampliﬁer. Each C426Be input is connected to

an individual power ampliﬁer channel, which can sometimes increase sonic performance.

Note: When making bi-amped connections, both power ampliﬁer channels

must receive identical input signals from the associated preamp/processor. If the

associated preamp/processor only has one connector for the center channel, a “Y”

adapter is required.

1. Remove the shorting straps.

2. Connect one loudspeaker cable to the high-frequency set of C426Be input terminals.

Then connect the other end of that loudspeaker cable to the desired power ampliﬁer

output channel.

3. Connect another loudspeaker cable to the low-frequency set of C426Be input terminals.

Then connect the other end of that loudspeaker cable to the other output channel of the

same power ampliﬁer you connected to the high-frequency input terminals.

4. Connect both ampliﬁer channel inputs to the center channel output of the preamp/

processor. If the preamp/processor only has one connector for the center channel, use

a “Y”-adaptor.

Note: Do not use an electronic crossover network when bi-amping a Revel C426Be

loudspeaker. Doing so will cause a considerable degradation of sound quality.
