EMBRACE

Owner’s Manual

surround loudspeaker.

INTRODUCTION

EMBRACE sets an entirely new standard for surround channel per-

formance where stunning musical precision and industrial design are

judiciously allied to complement other Revel loudspeakers. With its

striking and sophisticated appearance, EMBRACE hints at its

advanced design from the first glance. But its sculptured lines can

only begin to tell the story of this exceptional surround channel sys-

tem, with its custom-designed drivers, highly functional enclosure,

and flexible, individually optimized networks.

ABOUT THE MANUAL AND WARRANTY

To begin enjoying your EMBRACE speakers, first read and then

perform the instructions in this owner’s manual. Maximum perfor-

mance is dependent 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 EMBRACE surround speaker 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

Each Revel EMBRACE surround speaker uses an 8-inch mica and

carbon-filled co-polymer woofer to reproduce the lower octaves.

Two 4-inch titanium transducers reproduce the very important

midrange frequencies. Two 1-inch textile-dome tweeters reproduce

higher frequencies.

EMBRACE also features a user-selectable control for dipolar or

bipolar dispersion that optimizes the system for any recording for-

mat. When used in dipole mode, EMBRACE offers a new level of

freedom from “localization,” resulting in more theater-like perfor-

mance for film sound, and more natural results reproducing music.

MIDRANGE

One of the keys to EMBRACE performance is the use of two

extraordinary 4-inch (102-mm) mid-frequency transducers. They

feature neodymium motors and titanium domes with an incredible

stiffness-to-weight ratio for resonance-free, wide bandwidth opera-

tion. Their 1.5-inch (38-mm) voice coils are very rare in 4-inch

midrange design, and contribute greatly to EMBRACE’s freedom

from coloration due to compression. The inverted titanium dome

is truly pistonic throughout its bandwidth and is just one of the

technical elements that set this transducer apart from those used in

any other surround loudspeaker.

WOOFERS

EMBRACE’s 8-inch (210-mm) mica and carbon-filled co-polymer

dome bass transducer utilizes a 2-inch (52-mm) voice coil with a

very long winding length. This dissipates heat far more efficiently

than a typical 1-inch voice coil, or even most 2-inch voice coils with

short winding lengths. A copper shorting ring is employed to

decrease inductance and flux modulation. The result is a dramatic

reduction in distortion. EMBRACE’s compression-free operation is

further optimized by its unusually long mechanical excursion.

TWEETERS

The two EMBRACE tweeters have several important design ele-

ments that correspond to their midranges. The 1-inch (26-mm)

textile dome tweeters are coated and have an advanced suspension,

oversized 1-inch voice coils, and a low-distortion magnetic system.

Among the results are increased accuracy and more natural musical

dynamics. Moreover, the EMBRACE tweeter shows virtually no

signs of frequency response change at high output levels (i.e., com-

pression), while still maintaining harmonic distortion levels below

the threshold of hearing.

CROSSOVER NETWORK

Built into each EMBRACE speaker is an individually-optimized

crossover network with the following features:

• An extremely sophisticated variable crossover offers dipole,

bipole, remote, and Dual Drive™ capability.

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

capacitors are calibrated to match each Ultima EMBRACE

speaker to the reference standard.

• External level controls for the tweeter via calibrated switched

precision resistors, thus maintaining identical response from

both speakers.

• Rear-wall proximity compensation switch for optimum perfor-

mance under varying listening conditions.

CABINET

EMBRACE’s inspiring Revel industrial design uniquely comple-

ments the most refined home interiors. While the cabinet design

offers exquisite appearance, it also contributes to the system’s perfor-

mance. 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 includes an integral wall-mount system. An optional

ceiling-mount version is also available from your Revel dealer.

Owner’s Manual

Figure 3. In this 5.1-channel

system, a pair of EMBRACE

surrounds are shown placed to

the sides of the listening area

with optimum coverage for the

front row. As an option, the

EMBRACE surrounds can be

placed farther back to cover

additional rows of listeners.

PLACEMENT

The EMBRACE surround loudspeakers are extremely flexible. They

may be used in a “5.1” channel system in dipole or bipole mode, or

in a “7.1” channel system in dipole, bipole, or Dual Drive™ mode.

5.1-CHANNEL DIPOLE/BIPOLE PLACEMENT

The most common home theater and multi-channel music system

configuration utilizes a pair of EMBRACE surrounds in dipole or

bipole mode, to the sides of the listening area, as shown in

Figure 3. If most listening will occur in the front row, place the

EMBRACE surrounds to the sides of the front row.

NOTE: Each pair of EMBRACE surrounds has distinct left and right

versions, as denoted by labels on the rear. To insure correct surround

operation, be sure to mount the left speaker on the left wall (as you’re

facing the screen) and the right speaker on the right wall.

If the listening area consists of several rows, place the surrounds to

the sides of the back row (see Figure 3). This avoids placing the

surrounds in front of any listener, at the expense of reduced opti-

mization in the front row.

In a very large room, use two pairs of EMBRACE surrounds, as

shown in Figure 4 (on the next page). Both pairs may be placed to

the sides of the listeners, or one pair may be placed to the sides of

the listeners and the second pair may be placed to the rear of the

listeners, as shown in Figure 5 (on the next page).

7.1-CHANNEL DIPOLE/BIPOLE PLACEMENT

Some multi-channel controllers provide two pairs of independent

outputs to drive two pairs of surround loudspeakers or for use in

Dual Drive™ operation. Several configurations are possible:

• Two pairs of EMBRACE surround loudspeakers may be used in

dipole or bipole mode.

• A pair of EMBRACE surrounds may be used to the sides, along

with a pair of direct-radiator loudspeakers to the rear.

• A pair of EMBRACE surrounds may be used in the Dual

Drive™ mode.

NOTE: Each pair of EMBRACE surrounds has distinct left and right

versions, as denoted by labels on the rear. To insure correct surround

operation, be sure to mount the left speaker on the left wall (as you’re

facing the screen) and the right speaker on the right wall.

Both pairs of surrounds may be placed on the side walls, or one

pair may be placed on the sides with a second pair on the rear wall,

as shown in Figures 6 and 7 (on the next page).

In this configuration, the EMBRACE surrounds are placed to the

sides of the listening area, and direct-radiator loudspeakers are

placed behind the listening position. The direct-radiator speakers

may be placed either out in the room behind the listeners, or on

or near the wall behind the listeners. Consult your Revel dealer

for advice regarding your particular application.
