PLACEMENT
Sound quality is heavily dependent on the accuracy of your loudspeak-
ers, their placement in the listening room, and the acoustics of the
room itself. Since the REVEL PERFORMA M20 loudspeakers are
extremely accurate, experimenting with their placement is the most
significant way to optimize their performance in a given environment.
The following guidelines will help you obtain the best results:
NOTE: The REVEL PERFORMA M20 includes a user-adjustable
placement compensation circuit that tailors the response for a desired
application (e.g., stand mounting or mounted in or near a wall, such
as on bookshelves or in a custom installation). See “System
Optimization” on page 15 for details.
• For best stereo imaging, place the REVEL PERFORMA M20
loudspeakers at equal distances from the main listening position
and in symmetry with the room, as shown in Figure 9.
• Optionally, use a pair of REVEL PERFORMA PEDESTAL 1s
to solidly mount the REVEL PERFORMA M20s at an ideal
height for seated listeners, as shown in Figure 10.
