Planning Your sYsTem

CAUTION: Revel C763L loudspeakers are specifically
designed to be used only at frequencies above 80Hz, with a
suitable electronic crossover and powered subwoofer. Do
not operate the speakers at full range (below 80Hz).

A powered subwoofer will add impact and realism to both music and
film soundtracks. Contact your Revel dealer for recommendations on
subwoofer models for your application.

Your new Revel loudspeakers have been engineered to provide
extremely accurate performance. However, any speaker’s ultimate
performance will be affected by the speaker’s placement in the listening
room and the acoustics of the room. Not all listening spaces can
accommodate the ideal conditions of these two factors. Therefore, the
placement of your Revel in-ceiling loudspeakers will have a significant
impact on their general performance.

Place the left and right loudspeakers the same distance from the
primary listening area (or as close to the same distance as possible). The
distance from each speaker to its nearest side wall should also be the
as close to the same distance as possible.

5.1-Channel Speaker Placement

• In a 5.1-channel system, the surround left and surround right
loudspeakers should be located to the sides of, and approximately
10 degrees behind, the main listening area. The midrange/tweeter
transducers should normally be oriented towards the listeners.
However, if a more diffuse surround soundfield is desired – for
instance, if the room has more than one row of seats – you can orient
the midrange/tweeter transducers towards the room’s rear wall.

Ideally, the distance between the left and right loudspeakers should be
slightly less than their distance from the primary listening area.

loudsPeaker PlaCemenT for home TheaTer

• The front left, center and front right loudspeakers should be
centered relative to the video display, with their midrange/tweeter
transducers facing towards the listening area.

• The front left, center, and front right loudspeakers should be closer
to the video display than to the main listening area. For example,
if the video display is 10 ft (3m) from the main listening area, the
loudspeakers should be no more than 4 ft (1.2m) from the display.

• The front left and front right loudspeakers should be relatively close
to the sides of the video display. For example, front left and front
right loudspeakers used with a 50-in (1.2m) video display should
generally not be more than 80 in (2m) apart.

• The center loudspeaker should be aligned with the center of the
video display.

• The surround-channel loudspeakers should be as far from the main
listening area as possible, but at least 2 ft (0.6m) from side and rear
walls.
