ABOUT REVEL® IN-WALL SPEAKERS

Since the first Revel ^® speakers in 1996, Revel products have stood at the forefront of loudspeaker design and performance. Revel in-wall loudspeakers draw upon the same research, resources and unique perspective that put all Revel loudspeakers in a class by themselves. Revel in-wall loudspeakers provide unparalleled value and are known for their standard-setting low sonic coloration and their freedom from distortion over an extraordinarily wide dynamic range.

IN-WALL LOUDSPEAKER HIGHLIGHTS

• Long-throw woofers with rubber surrounds provide high output with low distortion.
• 1-inch (25mm) metal-dome tweeter with an integrated waveguide provides optimized response both on and off axis.
  • High-order crossover network delivers accurate timbre reproduction.
• Dual-woofer model (W253L) is ideal for installation as left/center/right speakers with a wall-mounted flat-screen TV.

Your Revel in-wall loudspeaker box should contain the following items:

1 x Revel in-wall loudspeaker
1 x rectangular grille
1 x extra scrim cloth for rectangular grille (with attached foam pads)
1 x mounting template
1 x instruction manual

UNPACKING THE SPEAKER

Carefully unpack the speaker. If you suspect damage from transit, report it immediately to your dealer and/or delivery service. Keep the shipping carton and packing materials for future use.

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

Your new Revel loudspeakers have been engineered to provide extremely accurate performance. However, any speaker's ultimate performance will be affected by the speaker's placement in the listening room and the acoustics of the room. Not all listening spaces can accommodate the ideal conditions of these two factors. Therefore, careful attention to the placement of your Revel in-wall loudspeakers will have a significant impact on the general performance of the loudspeakers.

Although the Revel W253L is designed for use primarily as front left, center and front right speakers in a home theater system, the high-order crossover networks employed in all Revel in-wall speakers provide very smooth response over a wide listening area, allowing you to use any model in any application with excellent results.

Note: All Revel in-wall speakers, including the W253L, can be used in either horizontal or vertical orientation.

LOUDSPEAKER PLACEMENT FOR TWO-CHANNEL STEREO

Place the left and right loudspeakers the same distance from the primary listening area (or as close to the same distance as possible). The distance from each speaker to its nearest side wall should also be the as close to the same distance as possible.

Equal Distance Left Speaker Right Speaker Equal Distance

Ideally, the distance between the left and right loudspeakers should be slightly less than their distance from the primary listening area.

LOUDSPEAKER PLACEMENT FOR HOME THEATER

- The front left and front right loudspeakers should be located on either side of the video display, with their tweeters as close to ear level as possible.

2' (0.6m) or less As close to screen as practical

• The front left and front right loudspeakers should be relatively close to the sides of the video display. For example, front left and front right loudspeakers used with a 50-in (1.3m) video display should generally not be more than 80 in (2m) apart.
• The center loudspeaker should be aligned with the center of the video display. Its tweeter should be no more than 2 ft (0.6m) above or below the tweeters of the front left and front right speakers.

5.1-Channel Surround Speaker Placement

- In a 5.1-channel system, the surround left and surround right loudspeakers should be located to the sides of the main listening area, 5 ft – 7 ft (1.5m – 2.1m) from the floor.

Front Left Front RightCenter Video Display Surround Left Surround Right

7.1-Channel Surround Speaker Placement

• In a 7.1-channel system, the surround left and surround right loudspeakers should be located directly to the sides of the main listening area, 5 ft – 7 ft (1.5m – 2.1m) from the floor.
• In a 7.1-channel system, the surround back left and surround back right loudspeakers should be located on the rear wall, 3 ft – 6 ft (0.9m – 1.8m) apart and at 5 ft – 7 ft (1.5m – 2.1m) from the floor.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

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 from damage and yourself from 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-wall 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-wall 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's tab to open the hole; insert the bare end of the wire into the hole; and release the tab 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 on the speaker.

MOUNTING THE SPEAKERS

For New Construction

If you wish to pre-install a rough-in frame for the speakers before the drywall is installed in new construction, you will need to purchase the correct rough-in frame kit for your loudspeaker model from your authorized Revel dealer. Detailed mounting instructions are supplied with the rough-in kit. After the drywall is installed, follow the installation instructions in For Existing Construction, below.

For Existing Construction

Note: The installation procedure is the same for all models covered by this manual.

1. Ensure that the drywall, plywood or other wall material is 1/2" - 2" (13mm – 51mm) thick and capable of withstanding the weight of the speaker being installed.

Make sure to allow at least 3/4" (19mm) between the edge of the supplied installation template and any studs or other obstructions behind the wall, so the speaker's locking mechanism will have room to engage fully. Perform an obstruction survey to be sure that there are no studs, lengths of conduit, pipes, heating ducts or air returns in the stud bay that could interfere with the speaker.

1. Determine the correct speaker location and use the template included with the speaker to mark the wall material.

W263 W283 REVEI

1. Cut the drywall along the mark you made in Step 2 to create the mounting opening.

1. Make sure all of the speaker clamps are retracted in their "ready-to-mount" position at the tops of the mount towers, tucked within the mounting opening's border.

Speaker Clamps in Ready-to-Mount Position

1. Insert the speaker straight into the mounting opening. Tighten the speaker clamp screws on the front of the speaker baffle. The speaker clamps will automatically rotate into position and begin clamping the speaker.

- When you notice resistance on the screws the speaker has been clamped successfully.

Insert Speaker Straight Into Mounting Cut-Out All Clamps Inside Mounting Cut-Out Tighten Clamping Screws

IMPORTANT: Always use low-torque settings. NEVER over-tighten the clamp screws.

1. Attach the supplied grille. Powerful magnets in the speaker frame will securely hold the grille in place. Be sure that it is attached evenly, and that the edges of the grille extend over the baffle on all sides.

Adjusting the tension of the speaker clamps so that the speaker frame is flat will help ensure that the grille contacts the wall all the way around the speaker for a proper fit.

Attach Supplied Grille

Painting the Grille

Revel architectural loudspeaker grilles can be painted to match any décor. If you wish to change the grille's color, its satin finish will function as a primer coat. For the best results follow this procedure:

1. Gently remove the scrim cloth from the back side of the grille before painting.
2. Use a high-quality spray paint and apply a thin coat of color. Ensure that the grille perforations remain free of paint. Filling them with paint will diminish the speaker's sound quality. If any perforations are plugged, use compressed air to blow the paint out of the perforations.

Note: If you find any grille perforations that are plugged with paint after the paint has dried, carefully use a straight pin or sewing needle to remove the paint.

1. We have included a replacement scrim cloth. After the paint has dried, apply a light coat of spray adhesive to the inside of the perforated grille and attach a new scrim cloth. IMPORTANT: Never spray adhesive on the cloth. The scrim cloth has pre-attached foam pads that help prevent the grille from vibrating against the ceiling.

EXCESSIVE OUTPUT LEVELS

Your Revel loudspeakers feature custom-designed transducers and high-quality network components featuring high-order filters with steep cutoffs that reduce the potential of damage to individual speaker drivers and help the loudspeakers maintain their performance even under extreme operating conditions. However, all loudspeakers have limits when it comes to continuous playback. To extend these limits, avoid playback at volume levels that result in distorted or strained sound.

TWEETER WAVEGUIDE ASSEMBLY

High-frequencies are reproduced from minimum-diffraction, acoustically optimized tweeter waveguides. Waveguides match the dispersion of the tweeter and woofer through the crossover region, resulting in uncolored response over a wide listening area. The 7-, 8- and 9-Series in-wall loudspeakers feature newly developed tweeters that help set them apart from other architectural loudspeakers at any price. Their smooth, uncolored sound is challenged only by larger and more-expensive free-standing loudspeakers. The 9-Series loudspeakers feature cast-aluminum baffles to assure freedom from fidelity-robbing speaker-induced resonances, even at high volumes.

Boundary Compensation High Frequency Level ON OFF + 0 -

PROVEN SUPERIOR SOUND

All fourteen in-wall loudspeaker models have undergone exclusive HARMAN double-blind listening tests, proving their sound quality superior to that of their competitors. The premium components of Revel in-wall loudspeakers include high-performance tweeters with waveguide, high-order crossovers and cast-frame drivers.

HIGH FREQUENCY AND BOUNDARY GAIN COMPENSATION

High Frequency (HF) level controls and Boundary Gain Compensation (BGC) controls are valuable features to optimize performance in a variety of applications. Both the 5- and 7-Series models have HF level control switches, and the 7-, 8- and 9-Series models have a BGC On/Off switch control. The HF level control helps adjust the sound for unusually damped or live rooms, while the BGC switch provides low-frequency compensation when the loudspeakers must be placed very close to a ceiling or second wall.

ZERO-BEZEL MAGNETIC GRILLES

The zero-bezel grilles provide an unobtrusive look that allows the product to blend in seamlessly with its surroundings. The ultra-thin design attaches magnetically and completely covers the speaker. The lack of a traditional bezel on the speaker reduces labor when painting the grilles, as no paint mask is required.

COHESIVE AESTHETICS

The industrial design that has been created for the in-wall loudspeaker line allows for a very unobtrusive, clean look when installed in home applications. With minimal visual impact, the installed speakers provide cohesiveness within the room, as well as maximum sound quality and performance. The Revel bezel-free design enables these speakers to become virtually invisible within the room.

Notwithstanding the above, if you qualify as a "consumer" under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, or applicable state laws, then you may be entitled to any implied warranties allowed by law for the Warranty Period. Further, some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts or allow the exclusion or limitation of consequential damages, so such limitations may not apply to you. This Limited Warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.

This Limited Warranty is applicable in the United States and its territories. Outside of the United States and its territories, please contact an authorized Revel dealer for warranty and service information.

When the Product needs service contact an authorized Revel dealer, or contact Revel customer support to request information about where the Product should be taken or sent. To validate your right to this Limited Warranty, you must provide the original dated sales receipt or other proof of ownership and date of purchase. Do not return your Product for service without prior authorization from an authorized service center. Warranty repair of the Product must be carried out by an authorized service center. Unauthorized warranty repair will void this Limited Warranty and is performed at your sole risk.

During the Warranty Period, Harman will at its sole option and expense, repair or replace any product found to be defective. In the event that the Product is no longer available and cannot be repaired effectively, Harman, at its sole option, may replace it with a reasonable equivalent, or refund the original purchase price paid. Harman will cover reasonable return shipping charges within the United States and its territories, only if the Product is found to be defective under this Limited Warranty.

You will be charged for the cost of examining any Product that is not in need of repair (including resulting shipping costs), or for necessary repairs not covered by this Limited Warranty.

We sincerely thank you for your expression of confidence in Revel. We wish you many years of listening pleasure.
