B112/B110 OVERVIEW (Note: B112 and B110 rear panels are identical.
SUBWOOFER PLACEMENT CONSIDERATIONS When using subwoofers within the limited confines of a typical home theater room, the reflections, standing waves and absorptions generated within the room will create peaks and dips in the bass response that can vary greatly depending on where the listeners are located in the room – a listener seated in one location may hear an overabundance of bass created by a response peak at that location, while another listener only a few feet away may hear a considerable lack of bass
Rooms with multiple seating rows PLACING A SINGLE SUBWOOFER Placing one subwoofer in a front corner and the other subwoofer in the rear corner on the same side will produce the most consistent bass performance throughout multiple seating rows. When installing a single subwoofer, be prepared to experiment with different locations to find the one that produces the best results throughout your room’s seating area.
MAKING CONNECTIONS CAUTION: Never make or break connections unless all system components are powered off. CONNECTING TO A SURROUND PROCESSOR WITH AN INTERNAL CROSSOVER (FACTORY-DEFAULT) If you are connecting to a surround processor with a low-pass filtered subwoofer output, connect the subwoofer as shown below. You can make either a balanced (XLR) or unbalanced (RCA) connection to either the subwoofer’s left or right input connector.
CONNECTING TO A STEREO PREAMPLIFIER If you are connecting to a stereo preamplifier, connect the subwoofer as shown below. You can make either balanced (XLR) or unbalanced (RCA) connections between the preamp and subwoofer, and between the subwoofer and the left/right power amplifier.
CONNECTING MULTIPLE SUBWOOFERS When installing more than one Performa3 subwoofer, connect the first one as shown in the appropriate example above. Connect the additional subwoofers in “daisy-chain” fashion, using the Subwoofer Out connectors and Input connectors, as shown below. NOTE: Read the Revel Performa3 Subwoofer User Guide for information about settings in the Revel LFO programming software that are required when using multiple subwoofers.
TRIGGER AND POWER CONNECTIONS Trigger In/Out Connectors If you want your subwoofer(s) to turn on along with another component that supplies a trigger voltage, use a mono 3.5mm cable (not supplied) to connect the 12V DC Trigger In connector to the trigger voltage out connector of the other component. To supply a trigger signal to an additional Performa3 subwoofer (or other triggerable device), use a mono 3.
CARING FOR YOUR SUBWOOFER The cabinet’s wood veneer finish does not require routine maintenance. Cabinet surfaces that have been marked with dust, fingerprints, or other dirt can be cleaned using a soft cloth – preferably microfiber, and highquality auto wax. Take care not to come in contact with the transducer. s 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 microfiber cloth.
WARRANTY Revel Series speakers are warranted against defects. The duration of the speaker’s warranty depends on the laws in the country in which it was purchased. Your local Revel retailer can help you determine the length of your warranty.
