Revel M20 - Manual (Page 11)

• Optimum timbre and imaging precision is obtained with the
loudspeakers pointing almost directly toward the prime listen-
ing position. Some listeners prefer a wider “soundstage,” which
is achieved by reducing the toe-in angle, perhaps to the point of
aiming the loudspeakers straight ahead.
• Imaging and a sense of spaciousness will improve as the
loudspeakers are moved away from the wall behind the loud-
speakers and the side walls.
NOTE: You may then need to move the listening position back to
maintain the best stereo image.
• For more bass reinforcement, try moving the loudspeakers closer
to the front wall or corners (also see Room Acoustics on next page).
NOTE: You may then need to move the listening position forward
to maintain an acceptable stereo image.
• For best results, make sure there are no objects between the
REVEL PERFORMA M20 loudspeakers and the intended lis-
tening area (e.g., a coffee table in front of the listener will degrade
timbre and imaging). If possible, avoid placing the loudspeakers
near large objects, which can cause unwanted reflections.
• REVEL PERFORMA M20 loudspeakers can be also be placed
on bookshelves or in a custom wall unit.
• Ideally, the listening room should be acoustically neutral, nei-
ther producing any distinct echoes nor sounding completely
“dead” and lifeless (also see Room Treatment on the next page).
