Introduction

Revel®Concerta™M8

The Revel®Concerta™M8 satellite loudspeaker continues

the longstanding Revel commitment to accurate sound

reproduction. The proprietary transducers utilizing

Micro Ceramic Composite (MCC) diaphragms, precision

dividing networks, sophisticated high-frequency

waveguides and rigid enclosures all combine to deliver

uncompromising performance in any stereo or

multichannel home theater system. In addition, these

speakers are magnetically shielded for safe placement

near a CRT television.

Unpacking 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.

Placement

Stereo

Before deciding where to place your speakers, survey

your room and think about placement, keeping the

following points in mind, using Figure 1 as a guide:

• For best results, place the speakers approximately

6'– 8' apart.

• Position each speaker so that the tweeter is

approximately at ear level.

• Generally, bass output will increase as the speaker

is moved closer to a wall or corner.

• Refer to the “Home Theater” section if you also plan

to use the speakers for home theater reproduction.

Figure 1: This overhead view shows typical positioning

in stereo applications.

Home Theater

For front-channel use, place one speaker on the left and

another on the right, along either side of the television

monitor. Since the speakers are magnetically shielded,

you can place them without worrying about the field

distorting a CRT monitor. For surround-channel use,

place speakers on the included brackets or on

bookshelves alongside the listening position. Final

placement depends on room acoustics, availability

of space, and your listening preference (Figure 2).

In 6- or 7-channel configurations, place the rear

channel(s) behind the listening position, as shown

in Figure 2.

Note: The Revel Concerta M8 is ideally suited for

use with a subwoofer. Contact your Revel dealer

for recommendations on subwoofer models for

your application.

theater plan. Left/right rear channels are for a

7-channel system. The center rear channel is for a

6-channel system.

Speaker Connections

Wiring and Polarity

First, turn off all audio-system power. Use high-quality

speaker wire to make your connections. 18-Gauge

speaker wire with polarity coding is recommended.

For longer distances, 16-gauge or heavier wire is

recommended. The side of the wire with a ridge or

other coding is usually considered positive polarity (+).

Also, consult the owner’s manuals that were included

with your amplifier or receiver to confirm connection

procedures. Observe polarities when making speaker

connections, as shown in Figure 4. Connect each

+ terminal on the back of the amplifier or receiver

to the respective + (red) terminal on each speaker.

Connect the – (black) terminals in the same way.

Important! DO NOT reverse polarities (+ to – or

– to +) when making connections. Doing so

will cause poor imaging and diminished bass

response. Be certain that positive and negative

wire strands are completely isolated to avoid

short circuits that may damage your equipment.

Figure 4: Wiring diagram shows polarity connections

for one channel of an audio or home theater system.

Wall-Mounting

the Satellites

Revel Concerta M8 satellites are designed to be used

on a bookshelf or tabletop, or they can be mounted

on the wall. A wall bracket is included with the M8.

Each speaker bracket will require three 1-1/2", #10

wood screws; each screw should be fastened to

a wall stud. If a wall stud is unavailable, install an

anchor appropriate for a 1-1/2", #10 screw.

Note: The customer is responsible for the

correct selection and use of mounting hardware

(available through hardware stores) that will

ensure the proper and safe wall-mounting of

the speakers.

Step One

Place bracket against the wall and mark the positions

on the wall where you would like to place the

mounting screws.

Step Two

Place the bracket against the wall and fasten three

1-1/2", #10 wood screws through the bracket’s screw

holes into the wall. If a wall stud is not available, use an

appropriate anchor.

Step Three

Remove rear foot, place the speaker on the bracket and

insert the provided 1/4"-20 screw through the bottom

of the bracket into the threaded insert on the bottom

of the satellite (Figure 3).Turn satellite to desired angle

and tighten.

Operation

Surround Modes

When using the system in a Dolby®Digital or DTS®home

theater system, make sure the receiver or processor is

set to “Small” for all M8 loudspeakers.

Some receivers/processors offer a choice of crossover

frequencies. Select 110Hz as the crossover frequency for

all M8 loudspeakers in the system.

Some Dolby Digital-equipped receivers/processors offer

different setup options for each source or surround

mode, e.g., CD-stereo, DVD, Dolby, Pro Logic.

®In each

case, follow your equipment’s instructions to ensure that

the subwoofer output is turned on and that the speakers

are set to “Small” or to a crossover frequency of 110Hz

in each mode.

Maintenance

and Service

The satellite enclosure may be cleaned using a soft cloth

to remove fingerprints or to wipe off dust.

All wiring connections should be inspected and cleaned

or remade periodically. The frequency of maintenance

depends on the metals involved in the connections,

atmospheric conditions and other factors, but once

per year is the minimum.

If a problem occurs, make sure that all connections

are properly made and clean. If a problem exists in one

loudspeaker, reverse the connection wires to the left

and right speakers. If the problem remains in the same

speaker, then the fault is with the loudspeaker. If the

problem appears in the opposite speaker, the cause is

in another component or cable. If your M8 loudspeaker

should ever need service, please contact your local

dealer or distributor, or visit www.revelspeakers.com

for the location of a service center.
