In-Ceiling Architectural Loudspeaker
Instruction Manual
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: Do not use the tweeter-mounting baffle as a handle 
to move, carry or position the speaker. Doing so can damage the 
baffle. Such damage is not covered by the speaker’s warranty.
Revel architectural speakers are extremely easy to install. However, if 
you are unable to understand and follow the instructions in this manual 
clearly and fully, or if you are unsure of your ability to install these 
loudspeakers properly, please contact your dealer or a qualified installer.
WARNING: HARMAN International assumes 
no responsibility for improper installation of 
hardware or for any personal injuries or product 
damages resulting from improper installation or 
a fallen loudspeaker.
CONNECTING TO THE AMPLIFIER
CAUTION: REMOVE POWER
You must connect the speaker wires before the speaker is fully 
installed. To protect the audio system and yourself from damage 
or injury through accidental electrical shorting and surges 
during installation, turn all audio system power OFF before 
beginning the speaker installation.
Speaker Wire
Use high-quality speaker wire to obtain the best performance from your 
Revel in-ceiling speakers. 
 
•  For wire lengths of less than 50 ft (15m), use at least 16-gauge 
speaker wire. 
 
•  For wire lengths between 50 ft and 100 ft (15m – 30m), use at least 
12-gauge speaker wire. 
 
•  For wire lengths of greater than 100 ft (30m), use at least 10-gauge 
speaker wire. 
Note: All speaker wires must comply with all local building and 
safety codes for use in in-ceiling applications.
Making Connections
Connect each channel’s positive (+) terminal on the back of the amplifier 
or receiver to the positive (red) terminal on the corresponding speaker; 
connect each channel’s negative (–) terminal on the back of the amplifier 
or receiver to the negative (black) terminal on the corresponding 
speaker. Do not reverse polarities (that is, do not connect + to –, or – to 
+) when making connections. Doing so will cause poor imaging and 
diminished bass response.
Negative Terminal 
(Black)
Positive Terminal 
(Red)
Press down on the terminal tab to open the hole; insert the bare end of 
the wire into the hole; and release the tab to secure the wire. NOTE: 
C383XC and C363XC models have post-type terminals. Press down on the 
post to open the hole; insert the bare end of the wire into the hole and 
release the post to secure the wire.
CAUTION: To avoid short circuits that may damage your 
equipment, be certain that positive and negative wire strands do 
not touch each other and do not touch metal parts such as the 
speaker frame.
