PERFORMA C30

center-channel loudspeaker.

INTRODUCTION

The REVEL®PERFORMA™ C30 center-channel loudspeaker

draws upon the same research, resources, and unique perspective

made famous by Revel’s ULTIMA™ Series, resulting in standard-

setting low coloration and freedom from distortion over an extra-

ordinarily wide dynamic range.

The REVEL PERFORMA C30 loudspeaker provides this excep-

tional performance uniformly over a wide listening area through

the use of placement compensation circuits tested in a wide range

of real-world applications. Individually hand-tuned crossovers

assure that this loudspeaker will produce the same extraordinary

sound quality as the original reference standard, and an ideal tim-

bre match to Revel left and right front loudspeakers. Its superior

performance, validated by our objective listening tests, will greatly

enhance the enjoyment of music or film sound in your home.

ABOUT THE MANUAL AND WARRANTY

To begin enjoying your new loudspeaker, first read and then perform

the instructions in this owner’s manual. Maximum performance

depends on following all instructions described here, as well as those

found in the owner’s manuals of associated components in your

audio system. Save these instructions for future reference.

The REVEL PERFORMA C30 center-channel loudspeaker is cov-

ered by a limited 5-year warranty, so save the bill of sale to protect

your purchase and aid in any service-related questions.

DESCRIPTION

The REVEL PERFORMA C30 loudspeaker uses two 6.5-inch

(165 mm) inverted magnesium/aluminum-alloy dome woofers, a

4-inch (102 mm) inverted magnesium/aluminum-alloy dome

midrange, and an aluminum-alloy dome 1-inch (25 mm) tweeter.

Combined with an individually-optimized crossover network, this

transducer arrangement provides a uniform “listening window” or

area in which the sound varies little.The dual high power-handling

woofers and high-order crossover networks assure an extraordinary

dynamic range capability with very low dynamic compression. Full

magnetic shielding allows use near a video monitor.

WOOFERS

The two 6 .5-inch (165 mm) woofers feature:

• 1.5-inch (38 mm) diameter voice coils wound on Kapton

bobbins for unsurpassed dynamic capability and freedom

from compression.

• Fully-pistonic operation throughout their entire operating

range, with inverted magnesium/aluminum alloy diaphragms

for low coloration and distortion.

• Large 26-ounce (0.737 kg) magnet system with optimized cir-

cuits for vanishing low distortion.

• Die-cast basket to eliminate coloration from resonances.

MIDRANGE

The 4-inch (102 mm) midrange features:

• 1.5-inch (38 mm) diameter voice coil on a Kapton®former for

extraordinary power handling and freedom from distortion.

• Ferrofluid magnetic cooling for high power handling and low

dynamic compression.

• Large co-polymer surround for linear operation over a wide

dynamic range.

CROSSOVER NETWORK

The REVEL PERFORMA C30 crossover is expertly designed to

seamlessly integrate the transducers over a wide listening area, and

to compensate for a wide range of listening environments. The

crossover features:

• A 3-way, high-order crossover at 280 Hz and 2.5 kHz for high

power handling, optimized dispersion, and freedom from dis-

tortion and dynamic compression.

• Individual calibration to match each REVEL PERFORMA

C30 to the original reference standard.

• 3-position placement compensation switch for low coloration

under a wide range of conditions.

• Calibrated high-frequency level control for accurate,

repeatable settings.

• Separate woofer, midrange, and tweeter crossover boards to

eliminate any distortion-causing interaction.

CABINET

The cabinet is constructed of 0.75-inch (19 mm) thick MDF

walls with extensive internal bracing for unshakable performance.

Three cast aluminum feet adorn the cabinet for superior coupling

to any surface.

UNPACKING

To avoid injury, please use care during unpacking. Always

stand as straight as possible and use your leg muscles to lift the

REVEL PERFORMA C30 loudspeaker. Do not lift it while

bending from the waist.

To unpack the REVEL PERFORMA C30 loudspeaker, perform

the following steps:

1. Place the REVEL PERFORMA C30 loudspeaker onto its side.

2. Open the bottom flaps. Stand the carton in the up position.

3. Lift the carton off the loudspeaker and set it aside, being careful

not to damage the contents (see Figure 3).

4. Remove the spike foot kit and set it aside.

5. Remove the left and right pads and the protective bag. Use cau-

tion to avoid scraping the finish or pulling off the grille.

After unpacking the unit, carefully inspect it for possible damage

due to shipping. If you discover any damage, immediately contact

your Revel dealer for further assistance. When moving a REVEL

PERFORMA C30 loudspeaker (e.g., when experimenting with

placement), avoid touching the transducers.

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.

See Obtaining Service on page 18 for additional details.

contains the spikes, lock nuts, covers, screws, and a wrench. Set

all parts aside.

2. Start the stand assembly by fastening three upright bars to the

bottom ‘T’ base with three enclosed 1⁄4 -20 x 1" flat head

screws. Note the position of the angled ends on the short and

long upright bars, as shown in Figure 5 (right side view).

3. Place the stand in its upright position. Install the top plate with

three enclosed 1⁄4 -20 x 1" flat head screws, as shown in Figure 6.

4. Place the stand (as shown below) and install the feet (from

Step 1) onto the bottom of the ‘T’ base. Thread spikes about

halfway into each foot and use the wrench to tighten each one

with a locking nut, as shown in Figure 7.

5. Place your Revel Performa C30 loudspeaker as shown onto a

carpeted surface or soft towel. Attach the assembled stand with

four 8-32 x 3⁄4" flat head screws, as shown in Figure 8. Turn the

unit upright. Make final placement and spike adjustments.

INSTALLING SPIKES

If desired, you can add spikes to the REVEL PERFORMA C30

loudspeaker as follows:

1. Remove the spike feet, lock nuts, and wrench from the plastic bag.

2. Lay the REVEL PERFORMA C30 loudspeaker on its top on a

carpeted area or soft towel. Use caution to avoid touching the

transducers and grille. Remove the black screws that serve as

glides on the three feet and store them for future use. Start a set

of spikes, as shown in Figure 9. Be sure to thread each spike the

same amount to achieve a level placement.

NOTE: If you want to place the loudspeaker on a hardwood or tile

floor, or on a large-screen television set, use the round ends with

optional supplied covers. Further adjustment of each spike may be

necessary due to uneven floors.

3. (Optional) To tilt the REVEL PERFORMA C30 loudspeaker

down (or up) so that it is on-axis with the listener(s), perform

the following:

• For a downward tilt, adjust the two front spikes for decreased

extension and the rear center spike for increased extension to

achieve the amount of tilt you desire.

• For a upward tilt, adjust the two front spikes for increased

extension and the rear center spike for decreased extension to

achieve the amount of tilt you desire.

4. Using the supplied wrench, tighten a lock nut onto each spike.
