INSTALLATION
CONSIDERATIONS

Loudspeaker fidelity depends on the following
three factors:

1. Loudspeaker accuracy

2. Loudspeaker placement

3. Listening room acoustics

Advanced Revel design features allow the
M22 to achieve exceptional acoustical
precision. Each M22 is individually hand-
tuned during manufacturing to match the
production reference standard within a
fraction of a decibel, ensuring incompara-
ble loudspeaker-to-loudspeaker consistency.
As a result, experimenting with loudspeaker
placement and listening room acoustics
will have the most significant impact on
the M22’s performance.

LOUDSPEAKER PLACEMENT

The bulleted items that begin below
indicate important loudspeaker placement
considerations for the M22.

Remove all obstructions between the
M22 and the primary listening position.
For instance, a coffee table between the
M22 and the primary listening position
will degrade stereo imaging and timbre.
Placing the M22s near large objects
may also cause unwanted reflections.

For the best stereo imaging, place the
M22s at equal distances from the
primary listening position and the side
walls as shown in Figure 5 (top-right).

For optimal stereo imaging and timbre,
point the M22s directly toward the
primary listening position as shown in
Figure 5 (top-right). The toe-in angle
can be reduced to widen the soundstage,
