Revel Salon - Manual (Page 5)

• A motor system that utilizes neodymium magnets and a large
voice coil for exceptional performance.
• Oversized 2-inch diameter voice coils with flat aluminum wire
offer higher power handling than average-sized coils for greater
accuracy at high volume levels and during extended crescendos.
• The cast magnesium frame provides optimum voice coil cooling
and minimum reflections, while offering excellent rigidity.
TWEETERS
Each REVEL ULTIMA STUDIO also includes a pair of
high-performance tweeters with these features:
• True pistonic behavior throughout its entire operating range for
a new level of freedom from coloration.
• A front aluminum-alloy dome tweeter with a large voice coil and
oversized surround roll for higher power handling and longer
excursion capability with extraordinarily low-harmonic distortion.
• A rear textile dome tweeter that flattens the “in-room” response,
resulting in superior “air” and detail.
CROSSOVER NETWORK
Each REVEL ULTIMA STUDIO has an individually-optimized
crossover network with:
• A 3-way, 24 dB per octave crossover at 220 Hz and 2.2 kHz to
optimize the on- and off-axis response of the system.
• Hand-wired filter networks with air-core inductors and film capac-
itors to match each loudspeaker to the reference standard.
• Provision for bi-amplified and bi-wired applications via remov-
able external shorting straps on the gold-plated binding posts.
• External level controls for both the front and rear tweeters via
calibrated switched precision resistors for ideal imaging.
CABINET
The cabinet offers exquisite appearance and aids in overall system
performance. The main enclosure and internal bracing are
designed to act as an acoustically-inert platform for sound-wave
generation. Interchangeable side panels are available in a full array
of optional finishes when updating home decor (see Panel
Replacement on page 19).
