IMPORTANT
ROOM TREATMENT
F50a loudspeakers have very accurate off-axis response, which
minimizes any degradation caused by overly “live” rooms.
However, superior performance will be achieved by placing mini-
mal acoustic treatment materials at the primary reflection points.
Ideally, special acoustic absorbers should be placed at the first
reflection points on the side and front walls along with either
absorbers or diffusers at the first reflection points on the front and
rear wall. Short of using acoustic treatment materials, even hanging
rugs can be a great help in overly bright rooms. Carpeting the floor
area between the speakers and listener and placing irregular
surfaces, such as bookcases, will also help break up strong reflec-
tions.

Since our ears and eyes are located on the same plane, we can use a
mirror (also known as the “mirror method”) to accurately deter-
mine the most important locations (the first reflection points) for
acoustic treatment, as follows:

1. After the loudspeakers are placed, the listener should sit in the
prime listening position. If additional seating locations will be
used, try all listening positions during this process to ensure that
the treatment materials adequately cover the listening areas.

2. A second person should slide a mirror along the walls.
3. Note the locations at which the listener can see either of the
loudspeakers. These will be the reflection points that would
require acoustic treatment materials.

Using this method, find all treatment locations for side walls, the
front wall, and rear walls with side walls taking priority. Where
possible, also determine the treatment locations for first ceiling
reflections.

An authorized Revel dealer can recommend acoustic treatment
materials, and can help determine the best plan for the listening
room. If it is a dedicated listening room, qualified room treatment
manufacturers or even acousticians may be consulted for optimum
results. Remember, properly treated rooms provide dramatically
better results with any loudspeakers than untreated rooms.
