Revel’s tests are based on extensive real world listening in more than five different environments that simulate a wide range of residential settings and room sizes.

ANECHOIC CHAMBERS While few loudspeaker companies have access to one, Revel has three different anechoic (echo-free) chambers. Unlike most other compa- nies, Revel does not depend on electronic anechoic “simulator” testing methods that often fail to reveal critical performance flaws such as reso- nances.

Revel loudspeakers. Revel engineers use Computer Aided Design (CAD) software to design transducers that are optimized for each Revel model. A powerful Finite Element Analysis (FEA) system provides a comprehensive computer simulation of the entire driver assembly, allowing engineers to optimize every aspect of a transducer assembly.

This careful attention to detail allows Revel to achieve unparal- leled consistency among all loudspeakers, alleviating the need for matched pairs. Instead, all Revel loudspeakers are matched within a frac- tion of a decibel to achieve superior soundstage imaging and accuracy.

The result is distinctly more transpar- ent and distortion-free sound reproduction. With the premiere of the Ultima Series, Revel earned a reputa- tion for producing “the world’s finest loudspeakers.” Since then, Revel loudspeakers have won accolades from discerning audiophiles and critical reviewers alike.
