REV 8/10

Introduction

Congratulations on purchasing your TRACE ELLIOT Rev PA system.

Please take a few minutes to read the following instructions to ensure maximum safety and reliability from these loudspeakers.

TRACE ELLIOT’s experience in the Pro-Audio industry with continued development of amplifiers and loudspeaker systems has led us to

develop a range of install cabinets. The Revo 8 and Revo 10 represent a new concept in enclosure design being manufactured from very

rigid tubing. The construction of the units allows them to be very strong as well as providing a smooth dynamic response ideally suited to

the reproduction of recorded music in a variety of situations.

The Revo 10 is also ideally suited to PA applications for use in small band and vocal monitoring situations.

Installation and room positioning

Both units are fitted with brackets to accommodate the omnimount installation system. This represents the industry standard for

permanent mounting of loudspeaker cabinets and provides the most versatile method of positioning the speakers to give the required

coverage.

The Revo 8 uses the omnimount 50WA system and the Revo 10 uses the 75WA system, each designed for the respective weights. These

are available from your TRACE ELLIOT dealer and are not included as the units can be used free-standing. Full instructions for the

mounting of the cabinets and all precautionary information is found in the booklet supplied with the omnimount hardware.

Ideally the units should be positioned in the corner of the room or at least close to a rear wall in open surroundings. It is best to try and

keep other objects away from them which may interfere with the sound reproduction. When using one pair try to keep them spaced apart

on the same plane and in many situations when using pairs or multiple pairs a better result is obtained running the system in mono so

sound coverage is maximised. Take care to only use the brackets provided and never screw to or through the cabinets.

The two units are also fitted with 35mm top hats to allow them to be stand mounted for non-permanent applications. Stands are available

from your Trace Ellioit dealer.

Connecting the system

The Revo 8 is fitted with two connectors wired in parallel. One is a standard 1/4” jack socket wired tip + VE and the other is a sprung wire

trap type which will accept bare wires (red being + VE). Take care when using this method that no stray ends can be shorted between the

terminals (i.e tightly twist the wire ends before clipping them in).

When running multiple pairs off a single amplifier the cabinets should be wired in parallel, i.e. either twist the two sets of wires together

(+VE to +VE, -VE to - VE) before clipping them in or use the other connector to link to the next cab.

The Revo 10 is fitted with a 4-way speakon socket wired +VE on 1+ and -VE on 1- and also a single jack socket which is wired from the

speakon in parallel. We recommend the use of the speakon wherever possible as this provides the best and most reliable connection from

the amplifier, as they are lockable. The jack socket can then be used to link to other cabinets.

Amplification and precautions

The Revo 8 and 10 are rated at 100Watts RMS and 150Watts RMS respectively. We recommend the use of power amps rated at least

100Watts per channel as damaged to the speakers is far more likely to occur with the clipping distortion associated with overdriving a

smaller power amp than over powering the speakers with a larger amplifier. If at any time distortion is heard then the output level from the

amplifier should be reduced.

Used properly, loudspeakers will rarely fail and if a similar distortion is evident in more than one cabinet in a system then the fault

generally lies somewhere else in the set up (speakers only reproduce the signals fed to them).

Both of the models are 8 ohms so two pairs can be run from the TRACE ELLIOT PPA300 and PPA600 power amps as they drive down to

4 ohms. Four pairs can be run off a PPA1200 as this will provide its full power into 2 ohms.

Remember, keep distortion out of the system and don’t use excessive volume which will cause unpleasant sound as the bass driver is

pushed beyond its limits.

High frequency attenuation

The Revo 8 is fitted with a 3-position rotary attenuator. This allows the tweeter to have low, medium or high power sent to it, as the switch

is turned clockwise more volume will be achieved from 2KHz upwards.

The reason for fitting this control is that very few install cabinets provide a balanced dynamic sound at all volume levels. When required

levels are low the attenuator should be set fully clockwise and if high volumes are required then the tweeter can be turned down. Careful

use of this attenuator will allow for maximum intelligibility of the reproduced music and in most situations position 2 will give a balanced

sound at moderate volume levels.

Warranty

All TRACE ELLIOT products carry a 2 year warranty which covers manufacturing defects. Loudspeakers rarely fail for any other reason

than coil burn out due to distortion or serious over-powering and these failures are not covered.

In the unlikely event of a failure then please refer to your Trace dealer or contact our service department on +44 (0)1621 840959.

Thank you for taking the time to read this manual and if all the precautions are followed the units should give many years of trouble-free

service.

EMC Warning

It is inherent in the design of a loudspeaker and in the design of guitar pickups that they should emit or be affected by electro magnetic fields. Trace Elliot loudspeaker enclosures

should not be used less than 2 metres away from equipment which is likely to be affected by electro magnetic interference. Likewise, guitars fitted with electro magnetic pickups should

not be used less than 2 metres away from any source of electro magnetic emissions such as loudspeakers. Emissions from loudspeakers are dependent on the frequency characteristic

of the drive unit. Levels were measured direct from the drivers of 30 dBuV. These levels are reduced to a safe level at a distance of 1.27 metres from the drivers.

Compatibilité électromagnétique - avertissement

La conception d’un haut-parleur et des pickups de guitare est telle qu’ils sont affectés par des champs électromagnétiques ou en émettent les enceintes de haut-parleur Trace Elllot ne

devraient pas étre utilisées à moins de 2 mètres de l’équipement susceptible d’être affecté par les parasites électromagnétiques. Les émissions en provenance de haut-parleurs

dépendent de la caractéristique fréquentielle de l’émetteur piloté. De même, les guitares équipées de pickups électromagnétiques ne devraient pas être utilisées à moins de 2 mètres de

toute source d’émissions électromagnétiques telles que des haut-parleurs. Les niveaux ont été mesurés directement à partir des drivers de 30 dBuV. Ces niveaux sont réduites à un

niveau sûr à une distance de 1,27 mètre des drivers.
