  • Page 3: Introduction

    For example, to insure compression-free operation during the most demanding pas- sages, the REVEL ULTIMA STUDIO includes large voice coils in each transducer, judiciously selected crossover points, and true 24 dB per octave networks. While the true test of any loudspeaker is the sound it reproduces, we think you’ll agree that this “clean...

  • Page 6: Unpacking

    REVEL ULTIMA STUDIO. Do not lift it while bending from the waist. Each REVEL ULTIMA STUDIO is packed in its own carton with a shipping weight of 164 pounds (74.5 kg). To avoid personal injury and possible product damage, we strongly urge you to enlist additional help before unpacking either carton.
  • 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

    NOTE: Set all loudspeaker controls to “zero” position during place- ment experimentation. If needed, refer to Figure 13 on page 17. • For best stereo imaging, place the REVEL ULTIMA STUDIO loudspeakers at equal distances from the main listening position and in symmetry with the room, as shown in Figure 6.

  • Page 10: Room Treatment

    PLACEMENT (CONTINUED) ROOM TREATMENT REVEL ULTIMA STUDIO 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 pri- mary reflection points.

    Spike 3. Assemble and tighten locking rings onto the front spikes. 4. Tilt the REVEL ULTIMA STUDIO in the other direction and install the other pair of spikes in the same manner. NOTE: If the loudspeaker is to be used on a hardwood or tile floor, use supplied spike covers.

    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 ULTIMA STUDIO loud- speaker (refer to Figures 9, 10, and 11 on the next three pages). (AWG)
