Introduction DOCUMENTATION CONVENTIONS REVEL Ultima Voice2 This document contains general safety, installation and operation instructions for the REVEL Ultima VoiceTM 2 loudspeaker. [. . . ] The spikes/glides should be positioned so that the smooth "glide" end is exposed to protect tile, hardwood floors and furniture. 6. When all four spikes have been installed, stand the speaker in the upright position. If needed, adjust the spikes to achieve a level balance. Figure 9: Combination Spike/Glide Components Felt Washer Locking Ring Caution When moving the Voice2, avoid dragging it across the floor or cabinet. If the Voice2 is placed on a carpeted floor, the spikes should be adjusted as shown on the left side of Figure 10 with the sharp end protruding from the cabinet. If needed, follow the instructions that begin below to adjust the spikes Spike (Spike End Down) Figure 10: Combination Spike/Glide Detail To install and position the Combination spikes/glides: 1. Select the appropriate end of the spikes/glides depending on your surface. If the speaker is to be used on a hardwood floor or smooth surface use the glide end of the spike. Locate the four feet and threaded inserts on the bottom of the cradle feet. Rotate the first spike counterclockwise, spike end first, to attach it to the threaded insert. Repeat step 4 with each of the other crade feet spikes and threaded inserts. Make sure the spikes are evenly threaded to achieve a level balance.

Remove the input panel jumper-straps identified in Figure 3 before making bi-wired or bi-amplified connections. Before making connections, note the following: · The standard connections method uses a single loudspeaker cable. The Voice2 is equipped with two pairs of input terminals to allow for bi-wiring or bi-amplification. While Revel does not endorse one particular connection method over another, these additional connection options are available if desired. The design of this loudspeaker is such that optimal performance can be attained using the standard connection method. Make all connections observing the proper polarity, positiveto-positive (+) and negative-to-negative (-). Connections that do not observe the proper polarity will cause poor stereo imaging and diminished bass response. Use high-quality loudspeaker cable with a maximum total loop resistance of 0. 07 Ohms or less (for each wire run). 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 · · Note High loop resistances that exceed 0. 07 Ohms (for each wire run) will cause the filter network to be mis-terminated, resulting in considerable degradation of sound quality. Ultima Voice2 Owner's Manual 17 · Vertical bi-amplified connections must be made with identical power amplifiers. Horizontal bi-amplified connections can be made with identical or non-identical power amplifiers with identical gain factors. When making bi-amplified connections, both power amplifiers must receive identical input signals from the associated preamplifier. [. . . ] Step 3: If the combination spikes/glides were installed on the cradle, remove the spikes, felt washers, and knurled locking rings.
