PERFORMA S30

surround loudspeaker.

INTRODUCTION

The REVEL®PERFORMA™ S30 surround 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 extraordinarily

wide dynamic range.

The REVEL PERFORMA S30 surround loudspeaker combines a

timbre-matched direct-radiator with a state-of-the art dipolar loud-

speaker.The resulting configuration creates superb surround sound

over a wider dynamic range with low power compression for a larger

number of listeners to enjoy. 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 S30 surround loudspeaker is covered

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 S30 loudspeaker features a 6.5-inch

(165 mm) high-power handling woofer, two 4-inch (102 mm)

full-range drivers with specially-designed dispersion patterns, and

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

The REVEL PERFORMA S30 loudspeaker also features a user-

selectable control for dipole or monopole dispersion that optimizes

the system for any recording format. When used in dipole mode, a

unique radiation angle allows more listeners to enjoy theater-like

performance for film sound, and more natural results in reproducing

music. When used in monopole mode, the unique design facilitates

placement which matches surround-music monitoring standards.

WOOFER

The 6 .5-inch (165 mm) woofer features:

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

extraordinary power handling and freedom from distortion in

monopole and dipole modes.

• Fully-pistonic operation throughout its entire operating range

for low coloration and distortion.

• Die-cast basket to eliminate coloration from resonances.

FULL-RANGE DRIVERS

Each 4-inch (102 mm) full-range driver features:

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

extraordinary power handling and freedom from distortion.

TWEETER

The 1-inch (25 mm) tweeter features:

• An aluminum-alloy dome for fully-pistonic operation.

• 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

Built into each REVEL PERFORMA S30 loudspeaker is an indi-

vidually-optimized crossover network with the following features:

• An extremely sophisticated variable crossover offers dipole,

monopole, and remote capability.

• Hand-wired filter networks with air-core inductors and film

capacitors are calibrated to match each REVEL PERFORMA

S30 loudspeaker to the reference standard.

• An external high-frequency level control to tailor sound output

from the tweeter for varying acoustic conditions.

CABINET

The REVEL PERFORMA S30 loudspeaker’s inspiring Revel

industrial design uniquely complements the most refined home

interiors. While the cabinet design offers exquisite appearance, it also

contributes to the system’s performance with asymmetrical

construction for mirror-imaged left and right surround loudspeakers.

The sophisticated main enclosure and its internal bracing were

designed based on our exclusive knowledge developed from laser

interferometry.The result is an acoustically-inert platform for the

generation of sound waves.

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

walls and includes an integral mounting system for direct wall or

ceiling placement.

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 S30 loudspeakers. Do not lift it while

bending from the waist.

To unpack a pair of REVEL PERFORMA S30 loudspeakers, per-

form the following steps:

1. Place the carton onto its top and open the bottom flaps.

2. Turn the carton over and open the top flaps.

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

careful not to damage the contents (see Figure 3).

4. Remove the mounting kit and set it aside.

5. Remove the top and bottom pads and the protective bags. Use

caution to avoid scraping finishes or pulling off the grilles.

After unpacking, carefully inspect each loudspeaker for possible

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

contact your Revel dealer for further assistance. When moving a

REVEL PERFORMA S30 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 21 for additional details.

WARNING

Figure 4. In this 5.1-channel

dipole system, a pair of REVEL

PERFORMA S30 surround

loudspeakers are placed on side

walls. Optimum surround

coverage for all listeners is

attained by placing the

loudspeakers 20 to 30 degrees

behind the prime listener (see top

view) at a height of 15 degrees

above the prime listener’s ears

(see front view).

NOTE: Also see mounting

instructions and precautions,

starting on page 12.

PLACEMENT

Sound quality is heavily dependent on the accuracy of all your loud-

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

the room itself. Not only are REVEL PERFORMA S30 surround

loudspeakers extremely accurate, they offer flexible placement on

walls or ceiling in 5.1- or 7.1-channel systems.

Each pair of REVEL PERFORMA S30 surround loudspeakers

has distinct A and B versions, as denoted by labels on the rear.

To insure correct surround operation, be sure to mount the

appropriate loudspeaker, either A or B, as shown and

described in Figures 4 through 8 on pages 7 through 11. See

mounting instructions and precautions, starting on page 12.

5.1-CHANNEL WALL PLACEMENT

The most common home theater system configuration uses a pair

of REVEL PERFORMA S30 surround loudspeakers, placed on

the side walls above the listening area, as shown in Figure 4. The

loudspeaker’s radiation pattern is optimized for use at 110 degrees,

or up to 120 degrees, and to the sides of the primary listening

area. This occurs when the loudspeakers are placed somewhat

behind the front row, along the side walls. The ideal height is

located at 15 degrees above the prime listener’s ears.

IMPORTANT

Figure 5. In this 5.1-channel

dipole system, a pair of REVEL

PERFORMA S30 surround

loudspeakers are placed on

the ceiling behind the first row

of listeners.

NOTE: Also see mounting

instructions and precautions,

starting on page 12.

PLACEMENT (CONTINUED)

5.1-CHANNEL CEILING PLACEMENT

As an alternative, a pair of REVEL PERFORMA S30 surround

loudspeakers may be placed on the ceiling from 20 to 30 degrees

behind the prime listening area, as shown in Figure 5.They may be

used in either dipole or monopole mode (see System Optimization

on page 19).

The ideal placement is behind the first row of listeners so sound

radiates down upon all listeners. A less favorable placement is

behind the last row of listeners with sound radiating down

towards the backs of all listeners.

NOTE: In order to be effective, each REVEL PERFORMA S30

surround loudspeaker on the ceiling must be orientated so that

the woofer and tweeter on the largest enclosure plane fires towards

the listeners.

7.1-channel system, two pairs of

REVEL PERFORMA S30

surround loudspeakers are placed

on side and rear walls.

NOTE: Placement on the rear

wall is opposite of the placement

on the side walls. Also see

mounting instructions and pre-

cautions, starting on page 12.

7.1-CHANNEL PLACEMENT

Some multi-channel controllers can independently drive two pairs

of surround loudspeakers. Three configurations are possible:

• One pair of REVEL PERFORMA S30 surround loudspeakers

may be placed on the side walls, along with another pair on the

rear wall (see details below).

• One pair of REVEL PERFORMA S30 surround loudspeakers

may be placed on the side walls, along with another pair on the

rear ceiling (see details on the next page).

• Two pairs of REVEL PERFORMA S30 surround loudspeakers

may be placed on the ceiling (see details on page 10).

NOTE: If you not sure which configuration is appropriate for your

needs, review all three before deciding on placement.

7.1-CHANNEL PLACEMENT ON SIDE AND REAR WALLS

In this recommended placement, a pair of REVEL PERFORMA

S30 surround loudspeakers may be placed on the side walls with a

second pair on the rear wall, as shown in Figure 6. For film sound

reproduction, the front pair should be set to dipole mode, while

the rear pair may be set to dipole or monopole mode.

If placing a second pair REVEL PERFORMA S30 surround loud-

speakers on the rear wall is impossible, try placing this pair on the

rear ceiling, as shown in Figure 7. For film sound reproduction,

the front pair (on the side walls) should be set to dipole mode,

while the rear pair may be set to dipole or monopole mode.

NOTE: In order to be effective, each REVEL PERFORMA S30

surround loudspeaker on the ceiling must be orientated so that

the woofer and tweeter on the largest enclosure plane fires towards

the listeners.
