B112/B110 Subwoofer
Quick Start Guide
B112/B110 OVERVIEW
(Note: B112 and B110 rear panels are identical.)
Subwoofer Out connectors: If you are using more than one Performa3 
subwoofer in the system, connect the Subwoofer Out connector to 
the additional Performa3 subwoofer’s Input Connector. Balanced (XLR) 
and unbalanced (RCA) connectors are available. Both outputs are 0dBv 
(nominal)/+20dBv (maximum). The XLR output is pin 2 high.
High-Pass Out connectors: Use these connectors to send a high-pass 
filtered signal to the main (left/right) amplifier’s inputs. Balanced (XLR) 
and unbalanced (RCA) connectors are available. Both outputs are 0dBv 
(nominal)/+20dBv (maximum). The XLR output is pin 2 high. NOTE: The 
factory-default high-pass crossover setting is at 80Hz with a 24dB/octave 
(4th-order) slope. You can change these settings using the Revel LFO 
programming software. See the Revel Performa3 Subwoofer User Guide 
for more information.
Input connectors: Connect these to the outputs of a stereo preamp or 
connect a surround processor's subwoofer output to either the left or right 
input. Balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) connectors are available. Both 
inputs are 0dBv (nominal)/+20dBv (maximum). The XLR input is pin 2 high.
12V Trigger In/Out connectors: When the subwoofer’s Power Mode 
Switch is set to “Trigger,” the subwoofer will automatically turn on when 
5V – 12V is present at the 12V Trigger In connection and will turn off when 
the voltage at this connection is removed. Whenever the subwoofer is on, 
a 12V trigger signal is available at its 12V Trigger Out connector for use 
with additional Performa3 subwoofers, or another triggerable device.
USB connector: To program the subwoofer’s room equalization and 
high-pass and low-pass crossover characteristics, connect this USB Type 
B receptacle to the USB receptacle of a computer that is running the Revel 
LFO programming software.
Subwoofer Gain control: Use this control to adjust the volume of the 
subwoofer relative to the system’s other speakers. (The Gain control can 
be disabled using the Revel LFO programming software.)
Power Mode switch: This switch determines how the subwoofer will 
turn on and off:
s
is set to “On,” the subwoofer will automatically turn on when it first 
detects an audio signal at any of its inputs, and will automatically 
enter the standby mode after it has received no audio signal for a 
period of time (30 seconds to 120 minutes) you can set using the 
Revel LFO programming software. 
s
on when the Power switch is set to “On” and will remain on until the 
Power switch is set to “Off.”
s
switch is set to “On,” the subwoofer will automatically turn on when 
a voltage is present at the 12V Trigger In connection and will remain 
on as long as the voltage is present. When the voltage at the 12V 
Trigger In connection is removed the subwoofer will automatically 
turn off.
Power switch: When this switch is set to “On,” the subwoofer’s on/off 
status is dependent on the setting of the Power Mode switch (see above). 
When the Power switch is set to “Off” the subwoofer is turned off and 
cannot turn on automatically.
We suggest setting the Power switch in the “Off” position if you will not 
be using the subwoofer for a long period of time, such as when you’re on 
vacation.
Power Cord connector: Plug the supplied power cord into this 
connector and into a working unswitched AC power outlet.
