OPTIMIZING
PERFORMANCE
To optimize the M22 for best performance:
1. Set the Tweeter Level control to 0.
(Different listening rooms may require
other Tweeter Level control settings.)
2. Set the Placement Compensation
control to the appropriate position.
• Select the Flush Mounted setting if
the M22 is placed in a bookcase or
wall unit or if the M22 is located
less than 2 feet (0.61m) from walls
and other objects.
• Select the Stand Mounted setting if
the loudspeaker is placed on a stand
(such as the optional pedestal
stand).
3. Begin playback of a familiar music or
film source.
4. Listen from the primary listening
position, increasing volume to a
comfortable level.
5. Experiment with the M22’s placement
to achieve the best overall tonal
balance, image precision, and sense of
spaciousness in the listening room.
Refer to the Loudspeaker Placement
section that begins on page 10 for
additional information about
loudspeaker placement.
6. Adjust the Tweeter Level control on
each M22 to change high-frequency
balance and timbre.
7. Repeat these steps to optimize
performance of the second M22.
Note
For best results, set the Tweeter Level
control on both M22s to the same posi-
tion.
LOUDSPEAKER VOLUME LEVELS
High-order filters include steep cut-offs to
reduce potential damage from “out-of-
band” frequencies. Combined with carefully
selected transducers and filter network
components, this approach helps the M22
to maintain its performance under
extreme operating conditions.
However, all loudspeakers have limits
when it comes to continuous playback. To
avoid these limits, avoid playback at
volume levels that distort or strain sound.
CAUTION
To avoid damage, reduce volume level
immediately if loudspeaker sound is not
clean and clear.
Note
If desired, contact an authorized Revel
dealer for information about the suitability
of power amplifier components before
connecting the M22 to the associated
power amplifier.
