PLACEMENT (CONTINUED)

ROOM TREATMENT

REVEL ULTIMA GEM loudspeakers have very accurate off-axis

response, which minimizes any degradation caused by overly “live”

rooms. However, far superior performance will be achieved by

placing at least minimal acoustic treatment materials at the primary

reflection points. Ideally, special acoustic absorbers or diffusers

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 rear wall. Short of using acoustic treatment materials,

even simple 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 reflections.

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

material treatment, as follows:

1. After the loudspeakers are placed, the listener should sit in the

prime listening position.

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, front

wall, and rear wall with side walls taking priority. Where possible,

also determine the treatment locations for first ceiling reflections.

Your Revel dealer can recommend acoustic treatment materials,

and can help determine the best plan for your 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.
