Revel Performa3 F206 业主指南

11

Revel Performa3 fl oorstanding loudspeakers include a pair of foam 
port plugs that can be used to adjust the loudspeaker’s low-frequency 
performance in certain installation situations.

If your loudspeakers are built into an entertainment center or shelving unit, 
or if the loudspeaker is located less than about two feet (0.61m) from walls 
or other large objects, inserting the port plugs into the loudspeaker’s port 
openings can reduce the overly-aggressive bass output that can be created 
by the speaker’s proximity to large surfaces that refl ect bass energy. 

 

t  In the F208 you can experiment with the port plugs in conjunction 

with the loudspeaker’s Low-Frequency Compensation adjustment to 
fi ne-tune the low-frequency performance even further.

Insert the port plug into the loudspeaker’s port tube opening far enough 
so that the end of the plug is fl ush with the inside end of the port tube’s 
fl ared section.

As discussed in the F208/F206 Overview section on page 5, the F208 
has Low-Frequency Compensation and Tweeter Level adjustments that 
allow you to tailor its performance for your individual listening situation 
and personal preferences.

Once you have installed and connected your loudspeakers follow these 
steps the fi rst time you turn you new F208 loudspeakers on:

1.   Set the Tweeter Level switch to 0. (Different installation situations 

may require other settings.)

2.   Set the Low Frequency Compensation switch to the appropriate 

position.

 

t  Select the Normal setting if the loudspeaker is located at least 3 

feet (0.91m) from walls.

 

t  Select the Boundary setting if the loudspeaker is built into an 

entertainment center or shelving unit or if the loudspeaker is 
located less than about 2 feet (0.61m) from walls and other objects.

3.   Begin playback of a familiar music or fi lm source.

4.   Listen from the primary listening position, increasing volume to a 

comfortable level.

5.   Experiment with the loudspeakers’ placement to achieve the 

best overall tonal balance, stereo image precision, and sense 
of spaciousness in the listening room. Refer to the Installation 
Considerations section on page 5 for additional information about 
loudspeaker placement.

6.   Adjust the Tweeter Level switch on each loudspeaker to change 

the high-frequency level and fi ne-tune the overall tonal balance.

NOTE: For best results, set the Tweeter Level switches on both 
loudspeakers to the same position.

7.   Experiment with the Low-Frequency Compensation switch and the 

port plugs to achieve the best low-frequency performance for your 
particular listening room and installation.

The high-order fi lters employed in Revel Performa3 series loudspeakers 
include steep cut-offs to reduce potential transducer damage from “out-
of-band” frequencies. Combined with carefully selected transducers 
and fi lter network components, this approach helps the Performa3 
fl oorstanding loudspeakers maintain their performance under extreme 
operating conditions.

However, all loudspeakers have limits when it comes to continuous 
playback. To avoid exceeding these limits, avoid playback at volume 
levels that distort or strain the sound.

Revel Performa3 fl oorstanding speakers feature grilles with a magnetic 
attachment method that eliminates unsightly attachment hardware from 
the speaker baffl e, so if you decide to use your speakers with the grilles 
removed they will retain their elegant appearance.

When installing the grilles on the speakers, orient them so that the 
"TOP" markings (embossed in the rears of the grille frames) are towards 
the tops of the speaker cabinets.

The cabinet’s wood veneer fi nish does not require routine maintenance. 
Cabinet surfaces that have been marked with dust, fi ngerprints, or other 
dirt can be cleaned using a soft cloth – preferably micro-fi ber, and high 
quality auto wax. Take care not to come in contact with the transducers.

 

t  Use caution to avoid contacting the rubberized trim on the top of the 

loudspeaker with auto wax. If necessary, the rubberized trim can be 
cleaned with denatured alcohol on a microfi ber cloth. 

To clean the grille, gently vacuum it using a soft-bristled brush vacuum 
attachment with the vacuum cleaner set to the lowest possible suction.
