Learning about ® the finer details of their design and construction will deepen your appreciation of their lasting value. 3 The Revel Performa Series represents the culmination of Revel's tremendous acoustical research and technological resources. Revel's world-class team of engineers, designers, and acoustical researchers was challenged to create premium loudspeakers that combine superior audio performance with handsome aesthetics. The resulting Performa Series loudspeakers feature proprietary drivers housed in beautiful cabinetry that attains stunning sonic performance and placement flexibility while complementing the décor in most homes. THE LISTENING LAB The Performa Series offers truly superior sound quality and incomparable technical pedigree, thanks in part to Revel's sophisticated laboratory listening technique that -- for the first time -- provides an accurate correlation between loudspeaker measurements and sonic performance. [. . . ] It features four magnetically-shielded proprietary drivers that offer a host of improvements in vital areas such as dynamics, distortion, and dynamic compression along with improved low-frequency reproduction and wider placement versatility. The F32 features two highperformance 6 /2-inch woofers that 1 At left, the F32 driver complement: 61/2-inch woofers 51/4-inch midrange 1-inch tweeter F32 crossovers woofer midrange tion. The treble frequencies are faithfully reproduced by a newlytweeter formance in an elegant slim cabinet developed 1-inch pure titanium dome tweeter that features true pistonic behavior over its entire operating range and incorporates Ferrofluid® cooling. Nearly half the width of its predecessor, the F32 cabinetry features tapered sides that provide a svelte appearance and improved placement flexibility, aided by a Contour setting for various inroom acoustical conditions as well as a Boundary setting that allows for near-wall and in-wall installations. Each F32 is carefully calireference standard to within a fraction of a decibel and is superbly finished in a choice of Natural Cherry, Maple or Black Ash wood veneer.

Treble frequencies are ably reproduced by our exclusive pure, magnetically-shielded 1-inch titanium dome wide dispersion tweeter, featuring an advanced co-polymer surround and Ferrofluid cooling, Reviewed as "Class-A sound quality from a small loudspeaker, " the Performa M20 set the standard for state-of-the-art compact monitor performance. The new M22 continues to elevate the performance standard, featuring newly developed driver technology shared with the F32 floor-standing speaker system, along with a new slim cabinet design that allows tremendous placement versatility and high visual appeal. Featuring a pair of 8-inch Organic Ceramic Composite cone high performance woofers, along with a 5 /4-inch OCC cone 1 dome tweeter is housed in the specially-shaped CAI waveguide, which provides optimum acoustic impedance loading along with precise horizontal and vertical dispersion. Together, these components contribute to the virtual acoustic invisibility of the tweeter, which cannot be localized as an individual driver, providing a seamless acoustic blend and a broad and expansive soundstage. The three high order, steep slope crossovers are physically separated to prevent mutual interference, and each C52 is individually hand-tuned to within a fraction of a decibel to match the production reference standard. A rear panel control allows acoustic optimization for stand mounting, on-monitor, and in-cabinet placement. Another control provides high frequency level adjustment in . 5 dB increments. The elegant cabinetry is available in your choice of Natural Cherry, Maple or Black Ash natural wood veneers.

The 1-inch aluminum C52 Rear panel with placement compensation, high frequency level controls and binding posts C32 Shown in Black Ash Finish on optional pedestal PERFORM a C32 TM 17 At left, the C32 driver complement: 51/4-inch woofers 4-inch midrange 1-inch tweeter The C32 mates with the F32 floor-standing loudspeaker and the M22 monitor. Featuring broad dispersion, low coloration and consistent off-axis response, the C32 is remarkably versatile, with an adjustable boundary compensation system that provides monitor placement or stand mounting, and even for built-inwall applications. A three-way design, the C32 features a pair of 51/4-inch woofers and a 4-inch midrange; all magnetically-shielded and equipped with newly developed Organic Composite Ceramic cones for improved transparency, timbral accuracy, and freedom from distorNeodymium magnet motor system, these drivers also incorporate large flat-wire edge-wound voice coils for maximum dynamic range and freedom from dynamic compression. A precision switchedresistor high frequency level control provides exact treble level tuning for optimal high frequency balance from the 1-inch pure titanium dome tweeter. Precise multi-element highorder crossovers are individually divided on separate circuit boards to prevent degradation due to component interaction. As with all individually tuned to match the production reference standard to within a fraction of a decibel, assuring outstanding consistency and optimal blend with other Revel speakers. Two sets of binding posts provide for bi-amping and biwiring as well. The elegant slim cabinet features sophisticated internal bracing that eliminates cabinetin a choice of three beautiful wood veneer finishes: Natural Cherry, Maple or Black Ash. [. . . ] Frequency responses In-room response is a breakthrough measurement that, in a single curve, closely correlates to sound quality and has been a goal of loudspeaker engineers for years. Research, and simple observation, reveals that ubiquitous "on-axis" response curves often cannot distinguish between two loudspeakers with radically different sound quality. This specification for Revel loudspeakers is even more powerful when it is taken in context with the other measurements presented here. A target response is the ideal response goal and is not flat at the frequency extremes and is used when the ideal reference is not a "flat" line. [. . . ]
