Here’s where real-world experience counts. We suggest consulting your Revel dealer for help in determining the optimum loudspeak- er and listener placement for your listening room. REVEL PERFORMA F30... -
Page 10: Room Treatment
PLACEMENT (CONTINUED) ROOM TREATMENT REVEL PERFORMA F30 loudspeakers have very accurate off-axis response, which minimizes any degradation caused by overly “live” rooms. However, far superior performance will be achieved by placing at least minimal acoustic treatment materials at the primary reflection points. -
Page 11: Installing Spikes
After choosing a final placement, add spikes as follows: 1. Remove the spike feet, lock nuts, and wrench from the plastic bag. 2. Lay a REVEL PERFORMA F30 loudspeaker on its side on a carpeted area or soft towel. Use caution to avoid touching the tweeter and midrange. -
Page 12: Connections
Failure to do so will cause poor imaging and diminished bass response. • For bi-wired or bi-amplified applications, remove the shorting straps on the rear of each REVEL PERFORMA F30 loudspeak- er (refer to Figures 9, 10, and 11 on the next three pages). (AWG) -
Page 13: Single-Wired System Connections
For single-wired applications, simply leave the shorting straps in place and connect the + and - from a single amplifier channel to the + and – terminals on the rear of the REVEL PERFORMA F30 loudspeaker, as shown in Figure 8. -
Page 14: Bi-Amplified System Connections
VERTICAL BI-AMPLIFIED SYSTEM Using two identical amplifier channels, remove the shorting straps from the rear panel; then connect the REVEL PERFORMA F30 loudspeakers, as shown in Figure 10. CAUTION: Failure to remove the shorting straps when bi-amplifying may damage some amplifiers. - Page 15 HORIZONTAL BI-AMPLIFIED SYSTEM Using two amplifier channels, remove the shorting straps from the rear panel; then connect each REVEL PERFORMA F30 loud- speaker, as shown in Figure 11. CAUTION: Failure to remove the shorting straps when bi-amplifying may damage some amplifiers.

Page 16: System Optimization
NOTE: Set the controls the same on both left and right channels. CABINET CARE Each cabinet for the REVEL PERFORMA F30 loudspeaker has a wood veneer finish and does not require any routine maintenance. Occasionally, use a soft cloth, dampened with household furniture polish, to remove any fingerprints or dust. -

Your Revel dealer can order a new set of shipping materials if you no longer have the original cartons. Since there will be a charge for this service, we strongly recommend saving all packing materials. -
Page 18: Specifications
Sensitivity provides an indication of how much amplifier power is required for the loudspeaker to play at satisfactory volume levels. This conservatively-rated specification indicates moderate sensitivity and denotes that a REVEL PERFORMA F30 loudspeaker does not require huge amplifiers to achieve realistic levels in all but the largest rooms. - Page 19 Revel, a division of Madrigal Audio Laboratories, constantly strives to update and improve existing products, as well as create new ones. Therefore the specifications and construction details in this and related Revel publications are subject to change without notice.

Questions and answers
I have a pair of Revel Performa F-30 speakers which I’ve owned since new approx 15 years ago have had in original box for 10 years plus and now have a home to set them up in, I sold my receiver and amplifier 10 years ago but saved the speakers now I want to set hem up for with my turntable for music listening what and I’m asking how many amps would you recommend for my purchase of a new amplifier / receiver ? Thank you for your advice
The REVEL PERFORMA F30 speakers have a nominal impedance of 6 ohms and a minimum impedance of 3 ohms. They do not require large amplifiers to achieve realistic volume levels in most rooms. Any competently designed amplifier that can handle a 3-ohm minimum load should be able to drive these speakers effectively. If bi-amplifying, the shorting straps must be removed to avoid potential damage to the amplifier.
