FRONT PANEL LAYOUT
Figure 1: Front-panel controls and indicators
1. Power LED
The Power Indicator LED identifies the current state of the SA1000 amplifier. The amplifier has three different powered states:
- Red: Standby – the SA1000 automatically enters Standby if no signal is detected from the system for 10 minutes.
- Green: On – the SA1000 turns on to the "On" state, or when a signal is detected.
- No Light: Off - the AC mains power switch is in the off position or the SA1000 is unplugged.
2. Volume Control
Adjusts the volume level of the amplifier.
REAR PANEL LAYOUT
Numbers in Figure 2 correspond with the numbered items in this section
Figure 2: Rear-panel controls and connectors
The rear panel of the SA1000 amplifier, shown in Figure 2, contains the following connectors and controls:
CONNECTIONS
1. Input
Input is made through RCA line level input jacks. Connect the outputs of the preamplifier, receiver or surround processor to these connectors. If you are connecting to a single LFE output, you can connect it to either jack. If you need more sensitivity from the subwoofer/amplifier system, then connect the LFE signal lead to a Y-adapter cable and connect one output into each jack.
2. Output(s)
Two output connections with 5-way binding post terminals are provided. Each binding post accepts standard 4mm banana connectors, crimp-on lugs, pins or twisted bare wire through the post hole under the post nut covers, and twisted bare wire around the metal post. Each output has a minimum impedance of 8 Ohms (one B28W or B28C).
IMPORTANT NOTE: The SA1000 is not designed for use in Bridged configuration.
3. Low Pass Crossover
The variable 50Hz – 150Hz low-pass crossover determines the frequency at which the SA1000 blends to the main speakers.
NOTE: This control does not limit the frequency range of the main speakers in the system. Adjust the Low-Pass Crossover control to properly blend to the satellite speakers. When the blend is correct, notes of instruments and voice in the crossover region should sound correct in level; not too loud relative to the subwoofer frequencies or satellite frequencies, but also not too soft. When the control is turned to "LFE" the crossover is by-passed and all crossover settings are now set in the Processor or AVR menu.
EQUALIZATION
The equalization controls tailor the amplifier's response for your listening position in your specific listening room. The parametric equalizer includes variable controls to adjust Frequency, Bandwidth (or "Q") and EQ Level of one band of eq, as shown in Figure 3. To use these controls, you first must set the EQ switch to "ON".
Figure 3: Rear-panel equalization controls
NOTE: Specific measurement equipment is required to properly adjust the Equalization controls. Your authorized REVEL® dealer can make the appropriate measurements, using suitable equipment to ensure optimal results.
4. EQ Frequency Control
This adjustment allows you to select the center frequency of the particular problem area. The range is from 32Hz to 100Hz.
5. EQ Bandwidth Control
Sets the range of frequencies over which the equalizer will have an effect. The range is from 0.1 octaves to 0.6 octaves.
6. EQ Level Control
Allows you to adjust how much boost or cut is applied to the selected frequency by the EQ Frequency Control. This control adjusts from -12dB to a maximum of +3dB.
7. Phase Switch
Adjusts the phase of the subwoofer's output to the front speakers. Proper phase adjustment can also depend on variables such as the in-wall subwoofer placement and listener position. Set this switch for maximum mid-bass output at the primary listening position.
8. EQ On/Off Switch
Enables/Disables the parametric EQ controls (Frequency, Bandwidth, and EQ Level, but not Phase).
9. "1 2", or Subwoofer Type Switch
Selects the factory pre-programmed subwoofer type settings:
- Select the Type 1 setting for use with the Revel® B28C
- Select the Type 2 setting for use with the Revel® B28W
10. AC Mains Power Switch
Connects and disconnects power from the AC input cord. During periods of intermittent use, the power switch can be left On. It is recommended to turn off the power switch for extended periods of non-use.
11. Power Cord Connector
Plug the supplied power cord into this connector and into a wall-mounted AC outlet. Due to the current draw of the SA1000, accessory outlets on the back of any audio/video components should NEVER be used to power this product.
The power cord connector includes the fuse tray, located at the lower side of the receptacle. If you need to gain access to the fuse, always disconnect the unit from the AC source/outlet. Replace the fuse with the same type, voltage and current rating specified.
100-120VAC Model: 10AH,250V
CAUTION: Before you begin, make sure your amplifier is disconnected from the power source and all level controls turned completely down (counterclockwise).
Make sure the power source is adequate to supply the correct AC mains voltage and current for the Revel® SA1000 amplifier. Be sure that your amplifier operating voltage matches your available AC mains voltage.
To install the SA1000 in your cabinet/rack system, follow the steps below:
- If applicable and or required by the installation, attach the rack mount brackets to each side of the front of the amplifier using the screws provided. Refer to Figure 4
- Install the assembly into the cabinet using the mounting screws for your rack through the rack mount brackets. For details of installation into the cabinet, refer to the user guide of your cabinet.

COOLING REQUIREMENTS
With proper installation, your new Revel ^® SA1000 amplifier is designed for continuous operation of your Revel ^® Architectural subwoofer, either the B28W In-wall subwoofer or the B28C In-ceiling subwoofer.
Your Revel® SA1000 amplifier is equipped with a thermal protection circuit, which will shut the amplifier off when it gets too hot. If you experience thermal issues, several factors may be contributing to the problem, including load impedance, air flow and ambient temperature.
To avoid impedance related heating, DO NOT USE any subwoofer other than the recommended REVEL® Architectural subwoofers.
Air flow restrictions could be another factor. Always install the amplifier allowing sufficient air flow around the unit, favoring natural convection. The SA1000 works fine in a rack-mounted environment of conventional design. You may have to experiment with positioning, as hotter equipment below it will raise its ambient temperature. If you experience it thermally cycling, then you may need to move it lower in your rack.
Ambient temperature can also be a factor as a higher room temperature will start the SA1000 closer to its thermal limit than a lower room temperature. If the room is excessively hot, either cool the room or use the amplifier/subwoofer system at a cooler time.
CONNECTIONS/AMPLIFIER
CAUTION: NEVER make or break connections unless all system components are powered off.
2 CHANNEL APPLICATION –
CONNECTING TO THE MAIN OUTPUTS
Figure 5
CONNECTION TO MAIN OUTPUTS
- Connect a dual-channel RCA patch cable between Left & Right main outputs of the receiver/preamplifier and to the respective INPUT connectors on the SA1000 rear panel, as shown in Figure 5.
NOTE: This configuration applies to receivers with preamplifier outputs or to preamplifier/subwoofer amplifier configurations in which there are two sets of Main outputs. If the receiver has jumpers from the Pre- or Main-Out to the Amp-in connectors or if the preamplifier has only one set of Main-Out connectors, a Y-adapter should be used to send the same signal to both the main power amplifier and the subwoofer(s). Tape Out or Record Out connectors cannot be used.
