About Revel

Since the first Revel® speakers in 1996, Revel products have stood at
the forefront of loudspeaker design and performance. Revel in-wall
loudspeakers draw upon the same research, resources and unique
perspective that put all Revel loudspeakers in a class by themselves.
Revel in-wall loudspeakers provide unparalleled value and are known
for their standard-setting low sonic coloration and their freedom from
distortion over an extraordinarily wide dynamic range.

• Long-throw woofers with cast aluminum frames, MCC (Micro
Ceramic Composite) cones and rubber surrounds provide high output
with low distortion.

• 1-inch (25mm) aluminum-dome tweeter with an integrated
waveguide provides optimized response both on and off axis.

• 3.5-inch (89mm) midrange (W990) handles critical mid-band
frequencies with natural tonal balance over a wide operating range.

• High-order crossover network with premium-quality components
delivers extraordinarily accurate timbre reproduction.

• Boundary compensation switch lets you adjust the speaker to
maintain tonal accuracy when the speaker is placed near an
additional wall or the ceiling.

• Three-position tweeter level control lets you adjust for optimum
response in a variety of acoustical environments, or for using the
speakers without grilles.

• High-frequency tilt and listener axis controls help compensate for
less-than-ideal speaker placement.

Carefully unpack the speaker. If you suspect damage from transit, report
it immediately to your dealer and/or delivery service. Keep the shipping
carton and packing materials for future use.

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,
careful attention to the placement of your Revel in-wall loudspeakers
will have a significant impact on the general performance of the
loudspeakers.
