Revel Performa3 C205 业主指南

This switch alters the tweeter’s output by – 1dB, – 0.5dB, 0dB, + 0.5dB, 
or + 1dB. 

This switch compensates for less-than-ideal loudspeaker placement 
near a wall, or in an entertainment center.

 

t  Select “Normal” if the loudspeaker is placed on a stand, more than 

two feet (0.61m) away from walls or other large objects.

 

t  Select “Boundary” if the loudspeaker is installed into an 

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

These gold-plated terminals provide connections from the power 
amplifier(s). 

The C208 has one pair of high-frequency and one pair of low-frequency 
binding posts that come from the factory connected by a pair of shorting 
straps (see below). The two sets of binding posts can be configured for 
single-wired, bi-wired, or bi-amped connections. Refer to the Making 
Connections section on page 5 for additional information.

Two gold-plated shorting straps that configure the loudspeaker for 
single-wired connections are installed at the factory. The shorting straps 
must be removed when the binding posts are re-configured for bi-wired 
or bi-amped connections. Refer to the Making Connections section on 
page 5 for additional information.

Loudspeaker fidelity depends on the following three factors: loudspeaker 
accuracy, loudspeaker placement and listening room acoustics.

Advanced Revel design features allow the C208 and C205 to achieve 
exceptional acoustical precision. As a result, experimenting with 
loudspeaker placement and listening room acoustics will have the most 
significant impact on the loudspeakers’ performance.

The C205’s performance is optimized for the most common center-
channel speaker placement options: near a wall, on a stand or inside a 
cabinet or entertainment center.

We recommend that you remove all obstructions between the 
loudspeaker and the primary listening position. For instance, a coffee 
table between the loudspeaker and the primary listening position will 
create reflections that will degrade timbre which can make film dialog 
more difficult to understand. Placing the loudspeakers near large objects 
may also cause unwanted reflections.

Optional Performa3 C Stand pedestal stands are available for the 
C208 and C205 that place the loudspeakers at the proper height for 
installation below a TV display. Refer to the assembly instructions that 
are included with the stands for additional information.

 

t  When mounting the loudspeaker on the C Stand, if the speaker/

stand is placed more than approximately two feet (0.6m) from the 
front wall, set the C208’s Low-Frequency Compensation Switch in 
the “Normal” position.

When flush-mounting the C208 and C205 inside of a cabinet or 
entertainment center:

 

t  Make sure that the front of the loudspeaker is flush with the front 

edge of the mounting shelf and surrounding surfaces.

 

t  Set the C208’s Low-Frequency Compensation Switch in the 

“Boundary” position when flush-mounting the speaker.

 

t  If necessary to aim the loudspeaker directly at the listeners’ ears, 

use the supplied long feet to angle the loudspeaker down if it is 
placed above the TV display, or use the supplied short feet to angle 
the loudspeaker up or straight forward if it is placed below the TV 
display. See Adjustable Feet, on page 5.
