Revel W780 - Manual (Page 4)

4 In-Wall Architectural Loudspeaker
Instruction Manual
Although the Revel W552L is designed for use primarily as front left,
center and front right speakers in a home theater system, the high-order
crossover networks employed in all Revel in-wall speakers provide very
smooth response over a wide listening area, allowing you to use any
model in any application with excellent results.
Note: All Revel in-wall speakers, including the W552L, can be used in
either horizontal or vertical orientation.

video display. Its tweeter should be no more than 2 ft (0.6m) above
or below the tweeters of the front left and front right speakers.
