STUDIOART TV pedestal If it is difficult to mount the TV on the wall, e.g. due to the structural stability of the wall, Revox offers a large STUDIOART pedestal for TV sets measuring up to 65" into which the S100 audiobar is also integrated. In this case, the screen "floats" several centimetres above the audiobar, and can be optimally aligned to it.
Installation in a room The audiobar is designed as a 3.1 system so that you can enjoy excellent music and film playback without requiring any extensions. A full-range phase-linear speaker with its own power amplifier is used in each case for the left, right, and centre channels.
B100, can barely be localised by the human ear. The goal is to integrate the B100 such that it is not perceived in the foreground, but instead positively expands the overall audio experience where deeper frequencies are concerned. In order to achieve this, Revox recommends observing the following points: ...
2. Integrating the S100 audiobar into the home network via WiFi/LAN The S100 audiobar functions primarily by streaming content from the internet. For the full range of control options, the audiobar communicates with the STUDIOART app, which must also be in the same network as the audiobar.

At low volume levels, our ears perceive low frequencies with less intensity than medium or high frequency ranges. This leads to persons listening to music at low volume levels feeling that the bass frequencies are missing. Hence, Revox has created an adaptive bass correction algorithm that takes hearing perception into account.

.Widening effect. The Revox audiobar has been designed as a multi-channel speaker for high-quality audio playback. If you wish to experience the audio on its own without additional spatial effects, select Off.

1. The audiobar is not shown in the STUDIOART app The STUDIOART app does not show the audiobar in the device list (left main tab with speaker symbol ), even though a connection was established in the past. Possible causes: The S100 audiobar is not on the same network as the STUDIOART app.
Solution 3: Use a LAN connection instead of a WiFi connection. If no LAN connection is available at the installation site, powerline adapters can be used to establish a LAN connection between the router and the STUDIOART product via normal power cables (230 V AC). This wired transmission technology is highly resistant to wireless interference. Popular manufacturers of powerline products are the companies Devolo and TP-Link.
6. When playing an album, music playback stops at the end of a title Possible causes: The STUDIOART app was closed during the playing of the album. It does not matter if it was an album from a music service (e.g. Spotify) or the music server.
