Revel®Concerta™M8

The Revel®Concerta™M8 satellite loudspeaker continues
the longstanding Revel commitment to accurate sound
reproduction. The proprietary transducers utilizing
Micro Ceramic Composite (MCC) diaphragms, precision
dividing networks, sophisticated high-frequency
waveguides and rigid enclosures all combine to deliver
uncompromising performance in any stereo or
multichannel home theater system. In addition, these
speakers are magnetically shielded for safe placement
near a CRT television.

Home Theater

For front-channel use, place one speaker on the left and
another on the right, along either side of the television
monitor. Since the speakers are magnetically shielded,
you can place them without worrying about the field
distorting a CRT monitor. For surround-channel use,
place speakers on the included brackets or on
bookshelves alongside the listening position. Final
placement depends on room acoustics, availability
of space, and your listening preference (Figure 2).

In 6- or 7-channel configurations, place the rear
channel(s) behind the listening position, as shown
in Figure 2.

Unpacking 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.

Placement

Stereo

Before deciding where to place your speakers, survey
your room and think about placement, keeping the
following points in mind, using Figure 1 as a guide:

• For best results, place the speakers approximately
6'– 8' apart.

• Position each speaker so that the tweeter is
approximately at ear level.

• Generally, bass output will increase as the speaker
is moved closer to a wall or corner.

• Refer to the “Home Theater” section if you also plan
to use the speakers for home theater reproduction.

Note: The Revel Concerta M8 is ideally suited for
use with a subwoofer. Contact your Revel dealer
for recommendations on subwoofer models for
your application.

theater plan. Left/right rear channels are for a
