SYSTEM OPTIMIZATION
The REVEL PERFORMA S30 surround loudspeaker may be
operated in dipole or monopole mode, manually or remotely.
1. After connecting the loudspeakers and with system power off,
initially set the HIGH FREQUENCY LEVEL control (on the
front panel) to the “0” position, as shown in Figure 16.
2. For manual operation, set the mode switch to DIPOLE or
MONOPOLE. For remote operation, set it to REMOTE:
• Select the dipole position for the greatest freedom from
“localization” and for all film sound, since it is always mixed
using non-localizable surrounds. Most acoustic recordings,
including classical, are mixed utilizing the surrounds for a
natural ambiance. The dipole mode is also the best choice for
such recordings.
• Select the monopole position for discrete multi-channel
recordings that feature equal emphasis on the front and sur-
round (rear) loudspeakers. Multi-channel “pop” recordings are
mixed using monopole surrounds and are most faithfully
reproduced using the monopole setting.
