FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS
• Beryllium Dome Tweeter
• 5th-generation Acoustic Lens Waveguide
• Deep Ceramic Composite (DCC™) Cone Midrange and Woofers
• Wide bandwidth and dynamic range with minimal dynamic compression
• High-order Crossovers with Film Capacitors and Air Core Inductors

Thank you for purchasing the Revel PerformaBe loudspeakers. These true full-range
loudspeakers deliver an impressive combination of wide frequency range, uncompressed
dynamic range and low distortion across the entire audible spectrum.
The tweeter dome is pure Beryllium (Be), a rare and costly metal with a multitude of
properties that make it the ideal tweeter dome material. Beryillium is extremely low mass
(approximately half the weight of aluminum, titanium and diamond) yet up to 4.5 times
stiffer than aluminum or titanium, yielding superior high frequency extension and resolution
to 40kHz. Its high thermal conductivity helps cool the voice coil for increased reliability. This
newly developed tweeter sets a new standard of transparency for speakers anywhere near
the PerformaBe’s class. The tweeter’s integrated 5th generation acoustic lens waveguide
is based on a breakthrough mathematical approach that accurately matches the tweeter’s
dispersion to that of the midrange transducer in the crossover region. This gives the
loudspeaker very smooth sound over an exceptionally wide listening area–an important
contributor to lifelike imaging for multiple listeners in a room. Further, the remarkable
waveguide actually increases the tweeter’s dispersion at frequencies above the crossover
range. The Revel PerformaBe’s low frequency and midrange transducers feature newly
developed Deep Ceramic Composite (DCC) cone technology. With DCC the aluminum cone
is exposed to intense plasma discharge in order to fuse a deep layer of ceramic to both
sides of the cone, thereby stiffening and damping the cone far beyond untreated aluminum.
DCC technology reduces cone resonance and promotes ideal piston motion; the benefits
are immediately audible in midrange purity and detail retrieval. Their cast aluminum frames
eliminate another source of resonance that is common in many lesser-quality loudspeakers.
The PerformaBe models employ a sophisticated fluid-model designed low frequency port
with identical flares on both ends. This greatly minimizes dynamic compression and portgenerated noise, assuring low distortion low frequency performance.
The Performa enclosures are similar to our flagship Ultima2 Series. The fully curved
enclosure is inherently stiffer than conventional rectangular enclosures. The cabinet walls
are formed with contiguous wood layers to damp material resonance, while strategically
placed braces eliminate the possibility of enclosure-induced coloration. These beautiful,
modern enclosures are finished in high-gloss black, white, metallic or genuine American
walnut in a process (developed and overseen by Italian luxury cabinet makers) that exceeds
automotive finish quality. The loudspeaker grilles are designed to minimize diffraction to
maintain perfect three-dimensional imaging. The magnetic grille attachment method
completely eliminates ugly hardware on the loudspeaker baffle. Whether you use them
with or without grilles PerformaBe speakers will always present a clean, sophisticated
appearance.
Revel Performa Be’s crossover networks features carefully selected components that
contribute to great performance and benchmark setting value. These high-order crossover
networks dramatically reduce distortion and dynamic compression for clear sound that
maintains the same quality over a very wide dynamic range. These precision networks
optimize the speakers’ timbre accuracy, enhancing musical enjoyment for listeners who are
anywhere in the room, not only those seated on-axis to the loudspeakers. Revel-designed
binding posts are heavily gold plated and include an articulated section that allows for more
secure connections when using spade lugs. The floor standing F226Be includes two sets of
binding posts that enable the loudspeakers to be bi-wired or bi-amped.
During development every Revel loudspeaker model is compared to competitive models in
our unique position-independent double-blind listening lab. This process utilizes the latest
psychoacoustic research to assure that these listening tests are valid, enabling us to verify
that all Revel loudspeakers are superior to their competitors before they are allowed to go
into production.

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
Loudspeaker fidelity depends on the following three factors: loudspeaker accuracy,
loudspeaker placement, and listening room acoustics. Experimenting with loudspeaker
placement and listening room acoustics will have the most significant impact on the
loudspeakers’ performance.

Owner’s Manual
LOUDSPEAKER PLACEMENT
The following are important loudspeaker placement considerations for all models:
• Remove all obstructions between the loudspeaker and the primary listening position.
For instance, a coffee table between the loudspeaker and the primary listening
position will create reflections that will degrade stereo imaging and timbre. Placing the
loudspeakers near large objects may also cause unwanted reflections.
• For the best stereo imaging, place the loudspeakers so that they are both the same
distance from the primary listening position and so they are both the same distance
from the side walls, as shown in the illustration at the top of the next column.
• For optimal stereo imaging and timbre, aim the loudspeakers directly toward the
primary listening position as shown in the illustration above. If you wish to widen the
stereo soundstage you can reduce this toe-in angle, even to the point at which the
loudspeakers are pointing straight forward.
• Moving the loudspeakers farther from the front and side listening room walls will
improve stereo imaging and the sense of spaciousness in the listening space.
• Moving the loudspeakers closer to the corners or walls of the listening room will
increase bass level.
ADJUSTABLE SPIKES
Four adjustable spikes are included for each F226Be loudspeaker. You can install these
spikes in the bottom of the loudspeaker cabinets to provide optimal stability, accommodating
installations on tile, hardwood, or carpeted floors.
To install and adjust the spikes:
1. Place the loudspeaker on its side on a soft towel or carpeted floor.
2. Screw the spikes into the fittings on the bottom of the loudspeaker. The spikes can be
installed with either the pointed end or round end protruding from the cabinet.
Pointed
Rounded
End Out

or
Clamping Ring (included)
Washer (included)
• If the loudspeakers are to be placed on a wood, linoleum or tile floor, install the
spikes with the round ends protruding from the cabinet. After determining the final
locations for the speakers, you can place coins or use specific discs under the
spikes to protect the floor surface from damage.
NOTE: If you prefer to install the spikes with the pointed ends protruding from the cabinet,
you must place coins or similar items under the spikes to avoid damaging the floor
surface.
3. Rotate the locking ring clockwise to firmly secure the spike to the cabinet. Make
sure to thread the locking rings of all four spikes to achieve a level balance when the
loudspeaker is placed right side up on the floor.
CAUTION: Floor-standing loudspeakers such as the F226Be have a high center of gravity,
which may cause them to fall if tipped or improperly positioned. To avoid this, anchor
the loudspeaker to the floor and/ or wall using the same procedures and hardware used
to anchor bookcases, wall units, and other furniture. HARMAN International Industries,
Inc. assumes no responsibility for proper selection and installation of hardware or for
any personal injuries or product damages resulting from improper installation or a fallen
loudspeaker.
LISTENING ROOM ACOUSTICS
Listening rooms have a profound impact on sound, particularly at lower frequencies. In
fact, the effect of the listening room can dominate sounds below around 400Hz. Ideally;
listening rooms would include optimized dimensional ratios to minimize the effects of room
resonances. But in reality, most listening rooms are not designed to enhance loudspeaker
performance.
The interaction between loudspeakers and listening rooms is complex, with two important
determinants that affect the loudspeaker and the listener:
• Surfaces and other boundaries often cause large peaks and dips in low-frequency
response.
• All rooms suffer, at least to some degree, from standing waves (also known as room
modes or resonances) that create large low-frequency response errors. Bass loudness
can vary plus or minus 12dB or more in different areas of the room.
Unfortunately, there is no simple solution that addresses both of these factors. Even
computer software programs that examine one or both factors may not calculate proper
primary listening position or loudspeaker placement values.
In most cases, proper selection of the primary listening position combined with proper
placement of the loudspeaker can result in superior performance at lower frequencies.
The difference between superior and inferior results is often just a small adjustment of the
ACOUSTIC TREATMENT MATERIALS
The Revel PerformaBe models feature high-order filters that optimize the loudspeakers’ onaxis and off-axis response, minimizing sonic degradations that occur in overly “live” rooms
(those with surfaces that are acoustically reflective). Many listeners choose to place acoustic
treatment materials at the room’s primary reflection points to reduce these reflections. The
most important locations are the first reflection points on the front and side walls. Either
broadband acoustic absorbers or diffusers may be placed at the first reflection points on
the rear wall.
NOTE: There are numerous options for absorbent material. None are superior to low-cost
fiberglass. It is important to use absorbers that are at least four inches thick, to avoid
altering the spectral response of the loudspeakers. If sculpted foam is used, it must be
at least eight inches thick, as such absorbers are less efficient than non-sculpted foam.
Because the listener’s eyes and ears are on the same plane, the “mirror method” is an
accurate determinant of first reflection points. This method can be used to determine
reflection points for side walls, rear walls, front walls, and even the ceiling. Applying acoustic
treatment materials to the side walls is most important, followed by the ceiling, front wall
and rear wall.
NOTE: When moving the F226Be with the spikes installed, avoid dragging the loudspeaker
across the floor.
• If the loudspeakers are to be placed on a carpeted floor, install the spikes with the
pointed ends protruding from the cabinet.
To determine reflection points using the mirror method:
1. Once the loudspeakers have been placed, sit in the primary listening position and ask
another person to slide a mirror along the listening room walls.
2. Note the locations at which you can see either loudspeaker in the mirror from the
primary listening position. Be sure to look for both loudspeakers in the reflection

on each room boundary. These are reflection points that require acoustic treatment
materials.
If acoustic treatment materials are not available, hanging a rug over the reflection points
will help reduce sonic degradation in overly “live” rooms. Carpeting the floor area between
the loudspeakers and the primary listening position and placing irregular surfaces such as
bookcases at the first reflection points will also help minimize strong reflections.

MAKING CONNECTIONS
CAUTION: Never make or break connections unless all system components are powered
off.
BINDING POSTS
These gold-plated terminals provide connections from the power amplifier(s) to provide
secure connection for speaker cables terminated with banana plugs, spade lugs, pin
connectors or bare wire.
OBSERVE PROPER POLARITY
Connect the amplifier’s positive (+) terminal to the positive (+) terminal on the corresponding
speaker; connect the amplifier’s negative (–) terminal to the negative (–) terminal on the
corresponding speaker. Do not reverse polarities (that is, do not connect + to –, or – to +)
when making connections. Doing so will cause poor stereo imaging and diminished bass
response.
SPEAKER CABLE
Use high-quality loudspeaker cable with a maximum total loop resistance of 0.07 Ohms or
less for each wire run. Refer to the table below to determine the appropriate wire gauge for
your installation.

Before making connections to the F226Be speakers note the following:
• The standard connection method uses a single loudspeaker cable. The F226Be is
equipped with two pairs of input terminals to allow for bi-wiring or bi-amping. 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.
• Vertical bi-amped connections (see below) must be made with identical power
amplifiers. Horizontal bi-amped connections (see below) can be made with identical or
non-identical power amplifiers with identical gain factors.
• When making bi-amped connections, both power amplifiers must receive identical
input signals from the associated preamplifier. If the associated preamplifier offers two
connectors per output channel, each power amplifier can be connected to a separate
connector for the same output channel of the preamplifier. If the associated preamplifier
does not offer two connectors per output channel “Y” adaptors are required.
• No matter which connection method you choose, the speaker cables used for the left
and right loudspeakers should always be the same length.
• If desired, contact your authorized Revel dealer for information about the suitability of
power amplifier components before connecting the F226Be to your power amplifier(s).
• Review the owner’s manuals for all associated audio components to determine their
correct connection procedures.
NOTE: Do not use an electronic crossover network when bi-amping Revel F226Be
loudspeakers. Doing so will cause a considerable degradation of sound quality.
SINGLE-WIRED CONNECTION
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
F226Be input terminals and one power amplifier output channel as shown below.
NOTE: High loop resistances that exceed 0.07 Ohms (for each wire run) will cause the
loudspeaker’s filter network to be mis- terminated, resulting in considerable degradation
of sound quality.
F226Be
The F226Be has one pair of high frequency and one pair of low frequency binding posts that
come from the factory connected by a pair of shorting straps (see below). The two sets of
binding posts can be configured for single-wire, bi-wired, or bi-amped connections. See the
instructions on this page through page 10 for additional information.

To make single-wire connections:
1. Connect one speaker cable to the desired set of F226Be input terminals. (The highfrequency – “HIGH” – input terminals are recommended.) Then connect the other end
of that speaker cable to the desired power amplifier output channel.
2. Repeat step 1 to connect the second F226Be to the power amplifier’s remaining output
channel.
BI-WIRED CONNECTIONS
CAUTION: Remove the shorting straps before making bi-wired connections. Failure to do
so may cause damage to some power amplifiers.
Bi-wired connections use two sets of speaker cables to connect both sets of F226Be input
terminals to a single power amplifier output channel as shown below.

3. Connect another speaker cable to the low-frequency set of F226Be input terminals.
Then connect the other end of that speaker cable to the same power amplifier output
channel that you connected in step 2.
4. Repeat steps 1, 2 and 3 to connect the second F226Be to the power amplifier’s
remaining output channel.
VERTICAL BI-AMPED CONNECTIONS
CAUTION: Remove the shorting straps before making bi- amped connections. Failure to
do so may cause damage to some power amplifiers.
Vertical bi-amped connections are made between both pairs of F226Be input terminals
and two separate output channels of a single power amplifier. Each F226Be loudspeaker
is connected to an individual power amplifier, which can sometimes increase sonic
performance. The power amplifiers for the two loudspeakers must be identical.
NOTE:
• Vertical bi-amped connections must be made using two identical power amplifiers,
one for each loudspeaker.
• When making vertical bi-amped connections, both power amplifier channels must
receive identical input signals from the associated preamplifier. If the associated
preamplifier does not have two output connectors for each channel, “Y” adaptors
are required.
1. Remove the shorting straps.
2. Connect one speaker cable to the high frequency set of F226Be input terminals. Then
connect the other end of that speaker cable to the desired power amplifier output
channel.
3. Connect another speaker cable to the low-frequency set of F226Be input terminals.
Then connect the other end of that speaker cable to another output channel of the
same power amplifier you connected to the high-frequency input terminals.
4. Connect both amplifier channel inputs to the output of a single preamplifier channel. If
the preamp only has one connector for the channel, use a “Y” adaptor.
5. Repeat steps 1, 2 and 3 to connect the second F226Be to another, identical power
amplifier. Repeat step 4 to connect the second amplifier to the preamplifier’s other
channel.
HORIZONTAL BI-AMPED CONNECTIONS
CAUTION: Remove the shorting straps before making bi-amped connections. Failure to
do so may cause damage to some power amplifiers.
The two power amplifiers can be identical or non-identical, but they must have identical
gain factors. If their gain factors are not identical, at least one of the amplifiers must have
a means of adjusting its input level. Contact your authorized Revel dealer for assistance.
Horizontal bi-amped connections are made between both pairs of F226Be input terminals
and two separate output channels of two separate power amplifiers. The F226Be’s set of
high-frequency input terminals is connected to one power amplifier, while the F226Be’s set
of low-frequency input terminals is connected to the other power amplifier.
NOTE: When making horizontal bi-amped connections, both power amplifiers must
receive identical input signals from the associated preamplifier. If the associated
preamplifier does not have two output connectors for each channel, “Y” adaptors are
required.

“Y”- adaptors.
OPTIMIZING PERFORMANCE
PORT PLUGS
Revel PerformaBe loudspeakers include a pair of foam port plugs that can be used to adjust
the loudspeaker’s low-frequency performance in certain installation situations.
If your loudspeakers are built into an entertainment center or shelving unit, or if the
loudspeaker is located less than about two feet (0.61m) from walls or other large objects,
inserting the port plugs into the loudspeaker’s port openings can reduce the overlyaggressive bass output that can be created by the speaker’s proximity to large bass energy
reflecting surfaces.
Insert the port plug into the loudspeaker’s port tube opening far enough so that the end of
the plug is flush with the inside end of the port tube’s flared section.
CAUTION: Be careful not to insert the port plug so far into the port tube that it falls inside
of the speaker.
LOUDSPEAKER VOLUME LEVELS
The high-order filters employed in Revel PerformaBe 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 PerformaBe floorstanding loudspeakers maintain their performance under extreme
operating conditions.
However, all loudspeakers have limits when it comes to continuous playback. To avoid
exceeding these limits, avoid playback at volume levels that distort or strain the sound.
CAUTION: To avoid damage, reduce the volume level immediately if the loudspeaker
sound is not clean and clear. If you hear distortion, turn it down!
Once you have installed and connected your loudspeakers follow these steps the first time
you turn your new PerformaBe loudspeakers on:
1. Begin playback of a familiar music or film source.
2. Listen from the primary listening position, increasing volume to a comfortable level.
3. Experiment with the loudspeakers’ placement to achieve the best overall tonal balance,
stereo image precision, and sense of spaciousness in the listening room. Refer to
the Installation Considerations section on page 5 for additional information about
loudspeaker placement.

CARING FOR YOUR LOUDSPEAKERS
LIMITED WARRANTY
GRILLES
Revel PerformaBe speakers feature grilles with a magnetic attachment method that
eliminates unsightly attachment hardware from the speaker baffle, so if you decide to use
your speakers with the grilles removed they will retain their elegant appearance.
F226Be
When installing the grilles on the F226Be speakers, orient them so that the “TOP” markings
(embossed in the rears of the grille frames) are towards the tops of the speaker cabinets.
CABINET FINISH
The cabinet’s wood veneer or lacquer finish does not require routine maintenance. Cabinet
surfaces that have been marked with dust, fingerprints, or other dirt can be cleaned using
a soft cloth – preferably micro-fiber, and high quality auto wax. Take care not to come in
contact with the transducers.
• To clean the grille, gently vacuum it using a soft-bristled brush vacuum attachment with
the vacuum cleaner set to the lowest possible suction.
CAUTION: To prevent cabinet damage, do not use a cloth made with steel wool or metal
polish to clean the cabinet. To prevent possible transducer damage, do not apply furniture
polish directly to the cabinet.
CAUTION: BERYLLIUM TWEETER CAUTION
Beryllium dust is a hazardous material. The Revel PerformaBe Beryllium dome will not
emit any dust under normal circumstances and is perfectly safe unless it is damaged. The
tweeter dome is protected by the acoustic lens and waveguide. As long as the waveguide
remains intact there is no cause for concern. In the unlikely event that the dome is
damaged in any way, cover the tweeter with adhesive plastic tape and contact Revel for
further instructions. Do not play the speaker if it has a damaged tweeter dome.
At the end of the speaker’s life do not dispose of it in a landfill or incinerator. Bring the
speaker to an appropriate recycling or hazardous waste disposal site. Please contact
Revel customer service for more information about proper disposal.
Revel loudspeakers are warranted against defects. The duration of a warranty depends on
the laws in the country in which it was purchased. Your local Revel retailer can help you
determine the duration and coverage of your warranty.
