ABOUT REVEL PERFORMA3

CENTER CHANNEL LOUDSPEAKERS

Thank you for purchasing Revel Performa3 center channel loudspeakers.

These loudspeakers feature ﬂexible placement options and sleek designs,

allowing them to blend-in easily with your existing décor. They deliver

an impressive combination of uncompressed dynamic range and low

distortion across the entire audible spectrum.

Revel C208 and C205 low-frequency transducers and the C208 midrange

transducer feature distortion reduction mechanisms that stabilize the

ﬂux ﬁeld during operation, assuring low distortion even at high listening

volumes. These precision transducers utilize ribbed aluminum cones for

ideal piston-like behavior that eliminates a major source of resonances

that are clearly audible in most other loudspeakers. Their cast aluminum

frames eliminate another source of resonances that is common in many

lesser-quality loudspeakers.

The C208 and C205 tweeter has been created around a newly-designed

motor and dome assembly that sets a new standard of transparency for

the Performa3 category. The tweeter’s integrated acoustic lens waveguide

is based on a breakthrough mathematical approach that accurately

matches the tweeter’s dispersion to that of the midrange transducer in

the crossover region. This gives the loudspeaker very smooth sound far

off-axis – an important contributor to overall sound quality, providing

consistent sound over an exceptionally wide listening area. In fact, this

new waveguide actually the tweeter’s dispersion at higher increases

frequencies.

The C208 and C205 are housed in enclosures that are similar to our

ﬂagship Ultima2 Series. These fully-curved enclosures feature sleek

curved tops and bottoms, which are inherently stiffer than conventional

box shapes and are formed with contiguous wood layers that prevent

splitting. They feature strategically-oriented bracing that eliminates the

possibility of enclosure-induced coloration. These beautiful, modern

enclosures are ﬁnished in high-gloss piano black, high-gloss piano white

(C205 only) or genuine American walnut in a process (developed and

overseen by Italian luxury cabinet makers) that exceeds automotive

ﬁnish quality. The loudspeaker grilles are designed to minimize sonic

diffraction or veiling and provide a clean, subtle appearance. The magnetic

grille attachment method completely eliminates ugly hardware on the

loudspeaker bafﬂe, so if you decide to use the loudspeakers without

grilles they will look like they were designed to be used without grilles.

Revel Performa3 crossover networks feature carefully-selected

components that contribute to great performance and benchmark-

setting value. These high-order crossover networks dramatically reduce

distortion and dynamic compression for clear sound that maintains the

same quality over a very wide dynamic range. These precision networks

optimize the speakers’ timbral accuracy, enhancing musical enjoyment for

listeners who are anywhere in the room, not only those seated on-axis

to the loudspeakers. The C208 network provides a calibrated high-

frequency level control that allows precise ﬁne-tuning of the sound while

maintaining a very tight acoustic match between loudspeakers. Revel-

designed binding posts are heavily gold plated and include an articulated

section that allows for more secure connections when using spade lugs.

The C208 includes two sets of binding posts that enable the loudspeakers

to be bi-wired or bi-amped.

During development, every Revel loudspeaker model is compared to

competitive models in our unique position-independent double-blind

listening lab. This process utilizes the latest psychoacoustic research

to assure that these listening tests are valid, enabling us to verify that

all Revel loudspeakers are superior to their competitors before they are

allowed to go into production.
