Owning Revel®loudspeakers
is a pleasurable experience for both
the ears and eyes. Learning about
the finer details of their design and
construction will deepen your
appreciation of their lasting value.

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 incom-
parable technical pedigree, thanks in part to Revel’s sophisticated labora-
tory listening technique that — for the first time — provides an accurate
correlation between loudspeaker measurements and sonic performance.
Though laborator
y measurements are critical, human hearing is the ulti-
mate evaluation tool. Revel’s Multichannel Listening Lab (MLL) repre-
sents the industry’s most sophisticated loudspeaker listening facility,
allowing loudspeakers to be compared as single speakers, stereo pairs, or
multiple speaker groups. Revel’s tests are based on extensive real world
listening in more than five different environments that simulate a wide
range of residential settings and room sizes. The MLL facility features a
remarkable, exclusive computer-controlled speaker switching stage that
eliminates the problems associated with speaker placement and aural
memory variables. Loudspeakers are placed on computer-controlled,
movable platfor
ms that can quickly be ar
ranged during testing. As a
3
result, the speaker repositioning process takes only a few seconds,
allowing listeners to quickly and accurately compare speakers to each
o
ther from the same room position and with minimal time in-between
m
odels. All tests are conducted “double-blind.” Once the loudspeakers
are installed on the MLL platforms, an acoustically transparent but visual-
ly opaque veil obscures loudspeaker identities from the listening panelists
to prevent human bias from tainting the results. Even the computer oper-
ator is not aware of the loudspeaker identities, as the computer randomly
determines the listening order prior to the test.
ANECHOIC CHAMBERS
While few loudspeaker companies have access to one, Revel has
three different anechoic (echo-free) chambers. Unlike most other compa-
nies, Revel does not depend on electronic anechoic “simulator” testing
methods that often fail to reveal critical performance flaws such as reso-
nances. Revel’s anechoic chambers are state-of-the-art in design, allow-
ing for accurate and useful loudspeaker measurements of complete
loudspeaker models and individual driver elements.
TRANSDUCERS, TESTING & QUALITY CONTROL
Most loudspeaker manufacturers out-source their transducers,
purchasing off-the-shelf tweeters, midranges, and woofers from vendors.
Revel loudspeakers feature proprietary transducer designs found in no
other company’
s pr
oducts. These transducers ar
e exclusively designed,
5
engineered, and manufactured for Revel loudspeakers.
R
evel engineers use Computer Aided Design (CAD) software to
design transducers that are optimized for each Revel model. A powerful
Finite Element Analysis (FEA) system provides a comprehensive computer
s
imulation of the entire driver assembly, allowing engineers to optimize
every aspect of a transducer assembly. FEA produces precise models of
the driver’s magnetic system, which is used to optimize the electro-mag-
netic circuits for each transducer according to the individual driver’s appli-
cation. Transducer components such as cones, domes, surrounds, and
centering mechanisms (the spider) also benefit from FEA scrutiny in the
design process.
An in-house Stereo Lithography Apparatus (SLA) is used during
development to help assure very tight tolerances and minimize develop-
ment times. The SLA utilizes a high-power laser to precisely solidify a liq-
uid polymer into the 3-dimensional shapes specified in CAD drawings.
This allows designs to be tur
ned in r
eal pr
ototypes very quickly so they
can be verified before going into production.
During development, Revel also uses the industr
y’
s most sophis
-
ticated driver distortion analyzer to pinpoint the precise source and loca-
tion of undesirable distor
tions within the driver assembly. In addition, a
high-resolution Laser Interferometer scans the entire radiating surface of
the driver for evidence of br
eakup, which occurs when the radiating sur
-
face flexes undesirably
. This incr
edible tool helps Revel drivers to achieve
more linear piston-like behavior, delivering minimal coloration and excep-
tionally low distortion.
The Laser Interferometer also contributes to the design of the
l
oudspeaker cabinet. To avoid undesirable coloration, the cabinet enclo-
sure must not cause unwanted resonances. Laser scanning the loud-
s
peaker enclosure allows for optimization of the cabinet design, including
proper placement of internal bracing to create an acoustically inert enclo-
sure conducive to the most neutral and honest sound reproduction.
Prior to installation in the loudspeaker enclosure, each loud-
speaker driver complement and associated crossover elements are sub-
jected to rigorous testing as a complete sub-assembly. Components are
tested in an anechoic chamber and then compared to production refer-
ence standards. But even with the tightest production tolerances, slight
deviations still might occur from one loudspeaker to the next. To prevent
this, a technician compares each loudspeaker to the reference standard,
making careful adjustments by hand as needed. All tuning adjustments
and specifications ar
e then recorded and retained for archive purposes,
referenced to the loudspeaker’s serial number.
This careful attention to detail allows Revel to achieve unparal-
leled consistency among all loudspeakers, alleviating the need for
matched pairs. Instead, all Revel loudspeakers are matched within a frac-
tion of a decibel to achieve superior soundstage imaging and accuracy.
Each pair of Performa loudspeakers sounds the same as the original refer-
ence pair as well as the loudspeakers that have won accolades from
reviewers around the world. Physically separated circuit boards for each
7
frequency range prevent degrading mutual interference caused by com-
p
onent-to-component interaction. The result is distinctly more transpar-
ent and distortion-free sound reproduction.
With the premiere of the Ultima Series, Revel earned a reputa-
t
ion for producing “the world’s finest loudspeakers.” Since then, Revel
loudspeakers have won accolades from discerning audiophiles and critical
reviewers alike. Collectively, the Performa Series offers an impressive
combination of advanced design, precision manufacturing, stunning
audio performance, and handsome aesthetics. Individually, each
Performa loudspeaker is a standout performer that delivers a perform-
ance as powerful as it is precise.
The following pages detail the unique design, engineering, and
capabilities of each Performa loudspeaker model.

woofers that incorporate our
exclusive Or
ganic Ceramic
Composite cone technology, which
provides the ultimate combination
of rigidity and lightness. Featuring
butyl surrounds and high strength
magnetic motor structures, togeth-
er these woofers provide the deep
bass response commonly associat-
ed with a much larger single driver,
along with low distor
tion and wide

is similarly equipped, and is housed
in its own sub-enclosure within the
F52’
s elegant cabinet, which is
constructed of thick and acoustical-
ly inert MDF and features substan-
tial internal bracing for added rigid-
ity.
The F52 tweeter assembly
features a proprietary 1-inch alu-
minum dome tweeter housed in an
integrated Constant Acoustic
Impedance waveguide, which pro-
vides both optimum acoustic load-
ing as well as optimized horizontal
and vertical dispersion. The result is
a virtually seamless transition from
the midrange to the treble fre-
quencies that also provides virtual
acoustic invisibility, where the
tweeter itself cannot be localized as
an individual driver.
As with other Performa
models, each F52 is individually
calibrated during production,
hand-tuned to within a fraction of
a decibel to the production refer-
ence standard, assuring unparal-
leled unit-to-unit consistency
.
Three physically separated high

opri-
etary drivers that offer a host of
improvements in vital areas such as
dynamics, distortion, and dynamic
compr
ession along with impr
oved
low-frequency reproduction and
wider placement versatility
.
The F32 features two high-
performance 61⁄2-inch woofers that
provide the surface area of a much
larger single driver and produce
authoritative bass with tremendous
output capability. Exclusive Organic
Ceramic Compound cone material
assures piston-like diaphragm
operation, contributing to the ver

Sophisticated Dual
N
eodymium magnetic motor sys-
tems optimize linearity over a wide
operating range, resulting in con-
sistent timbre and low distortion
over a wide dynamic range. These
remarkable drivers also feature 2-
inch high power-handling flat-wire
edge-wound voice coils for
unprecedented power handling
capability and low distortion.
Virtually identical to the
woofer except for size, the 51⁄4-inch
midrange driver is optimized for
the crucial midrange frequencies,
providing remarkably smooth tim-
bral response and wide dynamic
range with vanishingly low distor-
tion. The treble frequencies are
faithfully reproduced by a newly-
developed 1-inch pure titanium
dome tweeter that features tr
ue
pistonic behavior over its entire
operating range and incorporates
Fer
rofluid®cooling.
Nearly half the width of its
predecessor, the F32 cabinetry fea-
tures tapered sides that provide a
svelte appearance and impr

As the most important
reproducer in a multi-channel sur-
round sound system, the center
channel speaker must deliver
vocals and dialog with the utmost
clarity along with music and special
effects, and must also match the
tonality of the main left and right
front speakers.
The Performa C52 center
channel loudspeaker is the ideal
companion to our F52 and F32
models, delivering a combination
of tonal neutrality and outstanding
dynamic range, fully up to the task
of providing faithful reproduction
with today’s explosive movie
soundtracks and high resolution
multi-channel music sources, such
as DVD-Audio and SACD.
Featuring a pair of 8-inch
Or

midrange driver, the F52 also fea-
tur
es our recently developed and
proprietary Constant Acoustic
Impedance tweeter waveguide
technology. The 1-inch aluminum
dome tweeter is housed in the spe-
cially-shaped CAI waveguide,
which provides optimum acoustic
impedance loading along with pre-
cise horizontal and vertical disper-
sion. 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 sep-

The Performa B15a subwoofer fea-
tures unique Revel advantages that
no other subwoofer provides, for
authoritative low frequency repro-
duction. Featuring a massive long-
excursion, 15-inch driver that is
equipped with an inverted metal
dome that delivers incredible
acoustic output at the very lowest
deep bass registers, the B15a’s
pr
odigious deep bass capabilities
will do justice to the most explosive
movie soundtracks, as well as the
newest generation of high resolu-
tion music formats, such as DVD-
Audio and Super Audio Compact
Disc (SACD). A built-in 1,000-watt
power amplifier featuring a
tremendous 40% r
eser
ve capacity
powers the 15-inch driver, deliver-
ing up to 1.4 kilowatts to handle
the most thunderous special effects
and the lowest musical octaves.
Revel’s extensive research
into r
oom acoustics has r
evealed
that even a theoretically ideal sub-
woofer would fail to provide accu-
rate deep bass r
esponse due to the
fact that the mer
e placement of
the subwoofer within the confines
of any listening room introduces
significant and degrading r
esponse
variations caused by room-induced
resonances.
Conventional subwoofer
crossover frequency and level con-
trols alone cannot compensate for
these inevitable and inescapable
timbre response irregularities.
Therefore, the Performa B15a sub-
woofer is equipped with a sophisti-
cated tuning system featuring a
three-band parametric equalizer
that allows room-induced reso-
nance peaks to be tamed. This
smooths the response dramatically
and delivers tuneful and musical
low bass reproduction without the
boomy and irritating “one-note”
bass response typical of conven-
tional subwoofers. Fully adjustable
high- and low-pass filters with
adjustable slopes are also pr

Sensitivity provides an indication of how much amplifier power is required for the loudspeaker to play at satisfactory volume levels. Conservatively rated specifications indicate moderate sensitivity and denote that Revel loudspeakers do not require huge amplifiers to achieve
realistic levels in all but the largest rooms. 4 pi anechoic represents testing done in a true
anechoic (echo or reflection-free) listening environment.
Impedance
Impedance indicates whether the speaker system pr
esents a “hard” or “easy” load on the
amplifier. Moderate minimum impedance values and phase angles signify that almost any
amplifier can easily drive Revel Performa loudspeakers.
Filters (crossover)
Steep filter slopes ensure good acoustical behavior in the crossover regions, with a minimum of acoustical interference, along with low distortion and wide dynamic range. Revel filters feature specially selected components. Woofer and tweeter filter boards are physically
independent. F52, F32 and C32 models include a provision for bi-amping or bi-wiring, while
all models include rear panel compensation controls.
Frequency responses
In-room r
esponse 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 obser
vation, r
eveals that ubiquitous “on-axis” r
esponse 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 r
eference is not a “flat” line. A tar
get response must be tailored to the
loudspeaker’
s intended application and takes into account the acoustic impact of the loud-
speaker’s location, such as freestanding or placement near a wall.
First reflections response is a measure of the response a listener hears that is contributed by
the first reflections from the walls, floor, and ceiling. This superb specification indicates that
Revel loudspeakers will remain accurate even in the presence of strong reflections.
The listening window r
esponse (on-axis) measurement reduces the visual confusion of
inaudible local inter
ference, yet still retains full accuracy without using “spectral smoothing”
which r
esults in significant data loss.
Studies have shown that the –10 dB low fr
equency extension specification is the one that
best correlates to controlled listening tests. At low frequencies, most loudspeaker/room
combinations exhibit significant “room gain,” which is an increasing rise in level as frequencies decrease. In addition, the –10 dB specification reflects the steepness (i.e., order) of the
low-frequency roll-off, which is not significantly indicated in –3 dB specifications.
