Revel f32 Betriebsanweisung

Thank you for purchasing the Revel
Performa F32 Floor-Standing Loudspeaker.
A true full-range reproducer, the F32 delivers
an impressive combination of expansive
frequency response, low distortion, and
maximum output across the entire audible
spectrum. Four proprietary transducers,
sophisticated filter networks, and an
acoustically inert cabinet allow the F32 to
achieve acoustical precision and performance
befitting the most demanding home
entertainment systems.

A critical aspect of loudspeaker design,
transducers convert electrical signals into
audible sounds, profoundly affecting
loudspeaker performance. Combining
superior form and function, the F32
transducers feature a distinctive design
that allows for smoother frequency
response. The woofer and midrange cones
are constructed with Organic Ceramic
Composite cone material to reduce
distortion, while the spiders are constructed
with a high-strength Nomex blend with
optimized geometry for increased linearity.

A three-way design, the F32 transducers
effectively cover the entire audible spectrum.
Two 6.5-inch (165mm) woofers deliver
highly refined and dynamically authoritative
low frequencies down to the very lowest
octaves. Housed in its own sub-enclosure, a
5.25-inch (133mm) midrange handles criti-
cal mid-band frequencies with natural
tonal balance over a wide operating range.
And, a 1-inch (25mm) titanium-dome
tweeter reproduces high frequencies well
above audible levels, with wide dispersion
for open, airy treble.

An advanced woofer and midrange motor
structure includes two high-grade
Neodymium magnets placed at the center
of the motor structure, inside the voice coil,
for improved magnetic shielding. Inside
the motor, a black-plated steel shield cup
facilitates heat dissipation for higher power

handling. An integrated aluminum flux-
stabilization ring minimizes modulation
inside the motor’s static gap flux field,
greatly reducing distortion. A copper ring
inside the motor’s gap reduces distortion
even further. Both rings are optimally sized
and placed to maintain constant linear
voice coil inductance with forward and
backward motions.

High-order filters at 220Hz and 2.8kHz
optimize loudspeaker on and off-axis
response, helping to ensure smooth octave-
to-octave balance and timbral accuracy.
Separate woofer, midrange, and tweeter
filter boards prevent mutual interference
between filter network components,
dramatically reducing distortion over a
wide dynamic range. Removable shorting-
straps and gold-plated binding posts
accommodate single-wired, bi-wired, and
bi-amplified connections, while separate
Low Frequency Compensation and Tweeter
Level controls provide precise balance to
compensate for less-than-ideal listening
room acoustics and loudspeaker placement. 

The F32 cabinet is constructed with 1-inch
(25mm) thick walls and extensive internal
bracing to reduce cabinet-induced 
colorations. Rounded baffle edges minimize
diffraction and optimize treble response for
even greater sound enhancement. Adjustable
spike footing is attached to the bottom of the
cabinet for optimal stability, accommodating
installations on tile, hardwood, and carpeted
floors. A sonically-optimized grille is also
included.

Since 1996, Revel has stood at the forefront
of loudspeaker design. Backed with Harman
International’s extensive research and
design facilities, the Revel Performa Series
Loudspeakers benefit from cutting-edge
tools such as a multi-channel listening lab
for double-blind listening tests; a laser
interferometer for detailed driver and
cabinet analysis; real anechoic chambers
for precise tests and measurements; finite
element analysis for advanced loudspeaker
modeling; and a stereo lithography apparatus
for tight tolerances.
