ENGLISH C208/C206 OVERVIEW 1" Aluminum Dome Tweeter with Acoustic Lens Waveguide C205 Dual 5.
TWEETER LEVEL SWITCH (C208) STAND-MOUNTING This switch alters the tweeter’s output by – 1dB, – 0.5dB, 0dB, + 0.5dB, or + 1dB. Optional Performa3 C Stand pedestal stands are available for the C208 and C205 that place the loudspeakers at the proper height for installation below a TV display. Refer to the assembly instructions that are included with the stands for additional information. CAUTION: Do not operate the switch while audio is playing through the speaker.
C208 and C205 loudspeakers include two sets of adjustable feet, one short and one long that let you angle the loudspeaker up or down so it is aiming towards listeners’ ears when it is installed above or below a TV display. The feet screw into the threaded inserts on the bottom of the speaker. ENGLISH MAKING CONNECTIONS ADJUSTABLE FEET CAUTION: Never make or break connections unless all system components are powered off.
C205 CONNECTIONS C208 Single-Wired Connection The C205 features gold-plated binding posts that allow single-wire connection. C205 Connector Panel Amplifier (one channel shown) NOTE: Do not remove the shorting straps between the speaker terminals. Single-wired connections are the most common. These are made between one pair of C208 input terminals and one power amplifier output channel as shown below.
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 C208 input terminals and two separate output channels of a single power amplifier. Each C208 input is connected to an individual power amplifier channel, which can sometimes increase sonic performance.
OPTIMIZING PERFORMANCE LOUDSPEAKER VOLUME LEVELS C208 ADJUSTMENTS The high-order filters employed in Revel Performa3 series loudspeakers include steep cut-offs to reduce potential transducer damage from “out-of-band” frequencies. Combined with carefully selected transducers and filter network components, this approach helps the Performa3 floorstanding loudspeakers maintain their performance under extreme operating conditions.
