PLACEMENT

Sound quality is heavily dependent on the accuracy of your loudspeak-

ers, their placement in the listening room, and the acoustics of the

room itself. Since the REVEL ULTIMA STUDIO loudspeakers are

extremely accurate, experimenting with their placement is the most

significant way to optimize their performance in a given environment.

The following guidelines will help you obtain the best results:

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.

• Optimum timbre and imaging precision is obtained with the

loudspeakers pointing almost directly toward the prime listen-

ing position. Some listeners prefer a wider “soundstage,” which

is achieved by reducing the toe-in angle, perhaps to the point of

aiming the loudspeakers straight ahead.

• Imaging and a sense of spaciousness will improve as the

loudspeakers are moved away from the wall behind the loud-

speakers and the side walls.

NOTE: You may then need to move the listening position back to

maintain the best stereo image.

• For more bass reinforcement, try moving the loudspeakers closer

to the back wall or corners (also see Room Acoustics on next page).

NOTE: You may then need to move the listening position forward

to maintain an acceptable stereo image.
