DESCRIPTION
The REVEL ULTIMA SUB-15 features a unique transducer that
combines the brute-force capabilities of sound reinforcement drivers
with the nuances necessary for audiophile sound reproduction.
Combined with the LE-1’s huge power capability, the result is a
new standard of superb bass performance and adaptability for home
entertainment systems.  
SUB-15
To ensure uncompressed dynamic range, each ULTIMA SUB-15 is
unique in the following ways: 
Oversized 4-inch diameter voice coil with flat copper wire
offers higher power handling and freedom from compression
for control of low frequencies during high acoustic output.
Extremely long-throw voice coil is capable of 1.5 inches of
peak-to-peak linear excursion, and 2 inches of maximum
excursion for pure reproduction of deep sustained bass notes.
Ultra-rigid Kevlar
®
- and Kapoc
®
-impregnated cellulose pulp
cone body and dome operate as a perfect piston under all
reproduction conditions.
The heavy wall, cast aluminum frame maintains alignment
between the massive 35-pound magnet structure and the mov-
ing elements, while offering excellent rigidity.
The ULTIMA SUB-15 cabinet has been optimally designed and
internally braced with the aid of laser interferometry. Integral top
and bottom panels provide a custom look via available finishes. 
LE-1
The ULTIMA LE-1’s amplifier section is rated for a minimum
700 watts (rms) into a single ULTIMA SUB-15, and a minimum
1,200 watts (rms) into two ULTIMA SUB-15s under actual load
conditions. A unique circuit can be switched in to provide com-
pensation for room gain. A remote control provides the listener
with wireless control to set optimum performance while seated in
the listening position. The internal FM-2 electronic crossover
offers truly optimized performance for ideal blending between one
or two ULTIMA SUB-15s and any main loudspeakers.
