  • Page 6: Unpacking

    UNPACKING IMPORTANT! Do not attempt to lift a SALON from its pack- ing carton alone – at least two strong people will be needed to unpack the product properly. To avoid injury, use extreme care during unpacking. Always stand as straight as possible and use your leg muscles to lift a SALON.
  • Page 7 Keep all packing materials for future shipping. In the unlikely event a product will need repair, Revel will only accept a unit in its original shipping carton. Using any other packing materials may result in damage to the product and is not covered by the warranty.

  • Page 8: Placement

    PLACEMENT Sound quality is heavily dependent on the accuracy of your speak- ers, their placement in the listening room, and the acoustics of the room itself. Since the SALON speakers are extremely accurate, experimenting with their placement is the most significant way to optimize their performance in a given environment.
  • Page 9 • Ideally, the listening room should be acoustically neutral, nei- ther producing any distinct echoes nor sounding completely “dead” and lifeless. If needed, consult your Revel dealer for spe- cific recommendations on room acoustics. • After choosing a final placement, add the spikes (and covers, if desired) as described in Installing Spikes on the next page.

    4. Tilt the SALON in the other direction and install the other pair of spikes in the same manner. NOTE: If the speaker is to be used on a hardwood or tile floor, use supplied spike covers. Further adjustment of spike may be necessary due to uneven floors.

  • Page 11: Speaker Connections

    Use high-quality connectors on the speaker cables. Consult your Revel dealer as to specific recommenda- tions for your application. • Turn off all audio system power before making any connections.
