DESCRIPTION
Each Revel EMBRACE surround speaker uses an 8-inch mica and
carbon-filled co-polymer woofer to reproduce the lower octaves.
Two 4-inch titanium transducers reproduce the very important
midrange frequencies. Two 1-inch textile-dome tweeters reproduce
higher frequencies.
EMBRACE also features a user-selectable control for dipolar or
bipolar dispersion that optimizes the system for any recording for-
mat. When used in dipole mode, EMBRACE offers a new level of
freedom from “localization,” resulting in more theater-like perfor-
mance for film sound, and more natural results reproducing music.
MIDRANGE
One of the keys to EMBRACE performance is the use of two
extraordinary 4-inch (102-mm) mid-frequency transducers. They
feature neodymium motors and titanium domes with an incredible
stiffness-to-weight ratio for resonance-free, wide bandwidth opera-
tion. Their 1.5-inch (38-mm) voice coils are very rare in 4-inch
midrange design, and contribute greatly to EMBRACE’s freedom
from coloration due to compression. The inverted titanium dome
is truly pistonic throughout its bandwidth and is just one of the
technical elements that set this transducer apart from those used in
any other surround loudspeaker.
WOOFERS
EMBRACE’s 8-inch (210-mm) mica and carbon-filled co-polymer
dome bass transducer utilizes a 2-inch (52-mm) voice coil with a
very long winding length. This dissipates heat far more efficiently
than a typical 1-inch voice coil, or even most 2-inch voice coils with
