ABOUT REVEL®IN-CEILING SPEAKERS

Since the ﬁrst Revel®speakers in 1996, Revel products have stood at

the forefront of loudspeaker design and performance. Revel in-ceiling

loudspeakers draw upon the same research, resources and unique

perspective that put all Revel loudspeakers in a class by themselves.

Revel in-ceiling loudspeakers provide unparalleled value and are known

for their standard-setting low sonic coloration and their freedom from

distortion over an extraordinarily wide dynamic range.

IN-CEILING LOUDSPEAKER HIGHLIGHTS

sLong-throw woofers with rubber surrounds provide high output with

low distortion.

s1-inch (25mm) metal-dome tweeter with an integrated waveguide

provides optimized response both on and off axis.

sHigh-order crossover network delivers accurate timbre reproduction.

sLow-proﬁle (LP) models offer high performance and allow

installation in areas where mounting depth is restricted.

UNPACKING THE SPEAKER

Carefully unpack the speaker. If you suspect damage from transit, report

it immediately to your dealer and/or delivery service. Keep the shipping

carton and packing materials for future use.

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

Your new Revel loudspeakers have been engineered to provide

extremely accurate performance. However, any speaker’s ultimate

performance will be affected by the speaker’splacement in the listening

room and the acoustics of the room. Not all listening spaces can

accommodate the ideal conditions of these two factors. Therefore,

careful attention to the placement of your Revel in-ceiling loudspeakers

will have a signiﬁcant impact on the general performance of the

loudspeakers.

LOUDSPEAKER PLACEMENT FOR DISTRIBUTED

SOUND

sSince distributed sound is general sound throughout an area, place

the loudspeakers as uniformly as possible for even sound coverage

throughout the area.

sPlace the left and right loudspeakers roughly the same distance

from the primary listener locations.

sTo avoid “hot spots” where the sound is too loud, plan to use more

loudspeakers, with each set to play at a lower volume.

LOUDSPEAKER PLACEMENT FOR TWO-CHANNEL

STEREO

Place the left and right loudspeakers the same distance from the

primary listening area (or as close to the same distance as possible). The

distance from each speaker to its nearest side wall should also be the

as close to the same distance as possible.

LOUDSPEAKER PLACEMENT FOR HOME THEATER

sThe front left, center and front right loudspeakers should be

centered relative to the video display.

sThe front left, center, and front right loudspeakers should be closer

to the video display than to the main listening area. For example,

if the video display is 10 ft (3m) from the main listening area, the

loudspeakers should be 6 ft (1.8m) or further from the main listening

area.

sThe front left and front right loudspeakers should be relatively close

to the sides of the video display. For example, front left and front

right loudspeakers used with a 50-in (1.2m) video display should

generally not be more than 80 in (2m) apart.

sThe center loudspeaker should be aligned with the center of the

video display.

sThe surround-channel loudspeakers should be as far from the main

listening area as possible but at least 2 feet (0.6m) from side and

rear walls.

5.1-Channel Speaker Placement

sIn a 5.1-channel system, the surround left and surround right

loudspeakers should be located directly to the sides of, or up to

10 degrees behind, the main listening area.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: Do not use the tweeter-mounting bafﬂe as a handle

to move, carry or position the speaker. Doing so can damage the

bafﬂe. Such damage is not covered by the speaker’s warranty.

Revel architectural speakers are extremely easy to install. However, if

you are unable to understand and follow the instructions in this manual

clearly and fully, or if you are unsure of your ability to install these

loudspeakers properly, please contact your dealer or a qualiﬁed installer.

WARNING: HARMAN International assumes

no responsibility for improper installation of

hardware or for any personal injuries or product

damages resulting from improper installation or

a fallen loudspeaker.

CONNECTINGTO THE AMPLIFIER

CAUTION: REMOVE POWER

You must connect the speaker wires before the speaker is fully

installed. To protect the audio system and yourself from damage

or injury through accidental electrical shorting and surges

during installation, turn all audio system power OFF before

beginning the speaker installation.

Speaker Wire

Use high-quality speaker wire to obtain the best performance from your

Revel in-ceiling speakers.

sFor wire lengths of less than 50 ft (15m), use at least 16-gauge

speaker wire.

sFor wire lengths between 50 ft and 100 ft (15m – 30m), use at least

12-gauge speaker wire.

sFor wire lengths of greater than 100 ft (30m), use at least 10-gauge

speaker wire.

Note: All speaker wires must comply with all local building and

safety codes for use in in-ceiling applications.

Making Connections

Connect each channel’spositive (+) terminal on the back of the ampliﬁer

or receiver to the positive (red) terminal on the corresponding speaker;

connect each channel’snegative (–) terminal on the back of the ampliﬁer

or receiver to the negative (black) terminal on the corresponding

speaker. Do not reverse polarities (that is, do not connect + to –, or – to

+) when making connections. Doing so will cause poor imaging and

diminished bass response.

Negative Terminal

(Black)

Positive Terminal

(Red)

Press down on the terminal tab to open the hole; insert the bare end of

the wire into the hole; and release the tab to secure the wire. NOTE:

C283LP and C263LP models have post-type terminals. Press down on the

post to open the hole; insert the bare end of the wire into the hole and

release the post to secure the wire.

CAUTION: To avoid short circuits that may damage your

equipment, be certain that positive and negative wire strands do

not touch each other and do not touch metal parts such as the

speaker frame.

MOUNTINGTHE SPEAKERS

For New Construction

If you wish to pre-install a rough-in frame for the speakers before the

drywall is installed in new construction, you will need to purchase

the correct rough-in frame kit for your loudspeaker model from your

authorized Revel dealer. Detailed mounting instructions are supplied

with the rough-in kit. After the drywall is installed, follow the

installation instructions in For Existing Construction, below.

For Existing Construction

Note: The installation procedure is the same for all models

covered by this manual.

1. Ensure that the drywall, plywood or other ceiling material is 1/2" –

2" (13mm – 51mm) thick and capable of withstanding the weight of

the speaker being installed.

Make sure to allow at least 3/4" (19mm) between the edge of the

supplied installation template and any rafters or other obstructions

behind the wall, so the speaker’slocking mechanism will have room to

engage fully. Perform an obstruction survey to be sure that there are

no studs, lengths of conduit, pipes, heating ducts or air returns in the

ceiling cavity that will interfere with the speaker.

2. Determine the correct speaker location and use the template included

with the speaker to mark the ceiling material.

3. Cut the ceiling drywall along the mark you made in Step 2 to create

the mounting opening.

4. Connect the speaker to the ampliﬁer as explained in Connecting to the

Ampliﬁer, on page 4.

5. Attach the speaker's seismic tab to a support line, as per local safety

regulations.

securely hold the grille in place.

Attach Supplied Grille

Painting the Grille

Revel architectural loudspeaker grilles can be painted to match any

décor. If you wish to change the grille’s color,its satin ﬁnish will function

as a primer coat. For the best results follow this procedure:

1. Gently remove the scrim cloth from the back side of the grille before

painting.

2. Use a high-quality spray paint and apply a thin coat of color. Ensure

that the grille perforations remain free of paint. Filling them with

paint will diminish the speaker’ssound quality. If any perforations are

plugged, use compressed air to blow the paint out of the perforations.

Note: If you ﬁnd any grille perforations that are plugged with paint

after the paint has dried, carefully use a straight pin or sewing

needle to remove the paint.

3. We have included replacement scrim cloths. After the paint has dried,

apply a light coat of spray adhesive to the inside of the perforated

grille and attach a new scrim cloth. IMPORTANT:Never spray

adhesive on the cloth. The square scrim cloth has pre-attached foam

pads that help prevent the grille from vibrating against the ceiling.

NOTE: Square grilles are available for Revel C263, C283, C263LP and

C283LP speakers. Contact your authorized Revel dealer for details.

EXCESSIVE OUTPUT LEVELS

Your Revel loudspeakers feature custom-designed transducers and

high-quality network components featuring high-order ﬁlters with steep

cutoffs that reduce the potential of damage to individual speaker drivers

and help the loudspeakers maintain their performance even under

extreme operating conditions. However, all loudspeakers have limits

when it comes to continuous playback. To extend these limits, avoid

playback at volume levels that result in distorted or strained sound.
