Owner’s Manual

PERFORMA C50

center-channel loudspeaker.

INTRODUCTION

The REVEL®PERFORMA™ C50 center-channel loudspeaker

draws upon the same research, resources, and unique perspective

made famous by Revel’s ULTIMA™ Series, resulting in standard-

setting low coloration and freedom from distortion over an extra-

ordinarily wide dynamic range.

The REVEL PERFORMA C50 loudspeaker provides this excep-

tional performance in a wide range of applications (through the

use of placement compensation circuits) and uniformly throughout

a wide listening area. Individually hand-tuned crossovers assure

that this loudspeaker will produce the same extraordinary sound

quality as the original reference standard, and an ideal timbre

match to Revel left and right front loudspeakers. Its superior per-

formance, validated by our objective listening tests, will greatly

enhance the enjoyment of music or film sound in your home.

ABOUT THE MANUAL AND WARRANTY

To begin enjoying your new loudspeaker, first read and then perform

the instructions in this owner’s manual. Maximum performance

depends on following all instructions described here, as well as those

found in the owner’s manuals of associated components in your

audio system. Save these instructions for future reference.

The REVEL PERFORMA C50 center-channel loudspeaker is cov-

ered by a limited 5-year warranty, so save the bill of sale to protect

your purchase and aid in any service-related questions.

FORMA C50 transducer and

connection locations.

DESCRIPTION

The REVEL PERFORMA C50 loudspeaker uses two 6.5-inch (165

mm) ceramic-composite woofers, a 4-inch (102 mm) ceramic-com-

posite midrange, and a 1-inch (25 mm) aluminum-dome tweeter.

Combined with an individually-optimized crossover network, this

transducer arrangement provides a uniform “listening window” or

area in which the sound varies little.The dual high power-handling

woofers and high-order crossover networks assure an extraordinary

dynamic range capability with very low dynamic compression. Full

magnetic shielding allows use near a video monitor.

WOOFERS

The two 6.5-inch (165 mm) woofers feature:

• 1.2-inch (30.5 mm) diameter voice coils wound on glass-rein-

forced Kapton®bobbins for outstanding dynamic capability and

freedom from compression.

• Ceramic-composite cones feature an optimum combination

of stiffness and low mass for low coloration and distortion, and

fully-pistonic operation throughout their entire operating range.

• Massive motor system and specially vented spiders for

high-power handling and low dynamic compression.

• Die-cast basket to eliminate coloration from resonances.

MIDRANGE

The 4-inch (102 mm) midrange features:

• 1-inch (25 mm) diameter voice coil on a glass-reinforced

Kapton®former for extraordinary power handling and freedom

from distortion.

• Specially-shaped, synthetic and natural butyl-rubber composite

surround contributes to low coloration and distortion.

• Die-cast basket to eliminate coloration from resonances.

TWEETER

The 1-inch (25 mm) tweeter features:

• An aluminum-alloy dome for fully-pistonic operation.

• Ferrofluid magnetic cooling for high power handling and low

dynamic compression.

• Large co-polymer surround for linear operation over a wide

dynamic range.

CROSSOVER NETWORK

The REVEL PERFORMA C50 crossover is expertly designed to

seamlessly integrate the transducers over a wide listening area, and

to compensate for a wide range of listening environments. The

crossover features:

• A 3-way, high-order crossover at 260 Hz and 2.1 kHz for high

power handling, optimized dispersion, and freedom from dis-

tortion and dynamic compression.

• Individual calibration to match each REVEL PERFORMA

C50 to the original reference standard.

• 3-position placement compensation switch for low coloration

under a wide range of conditions.

• Calibrated, five-position, high-frequency level control for

accurate, repeatable settings.

• Separate woofer, midrange, and tweeter crossover boards to

eliminate any distortion-causing interaction.

CABINET

The cabinet is constructed of 0.75-inch (19 mm) thick MDF

walls with extensive internal bracing for unshakable performance.

Three cast aluminum feet adorn the cabinet for superior coupling

to any surface.

UNPACKING

To avoid injury, please use care during unpacking. Always

stand as straight as possible and use your leg muscles to lift the

REVEL PERFORMA C50 loudspeaker. Do not lift it while

bending from the waist.

To unpack the REVEL PERFORMA C50 loudspeaker, perform

the following steps:

1. Place the REVEL PERFORMA C50 loudspeaker onto its side.

2. Open the bottom flaps. Stand the carton in the up position.

3. Lift the carton off the loudspeaker and set it aside, being careful

not to damage the contents (see Figure 3).

4. If desired, remove the spike foot kit and flat foot. Set them

aside for later installation (see Installing Stands on page 8 or

Installing Spikes on page 10). Otherwise, keep the spike kit and

flat foot in their respective cavities for future use.

5. Remove the left and right pads and the protective bag. Use

caution to avoid scraping the finish.

6. If desired, open the filler and install the enclosed grille by

pressing the frame into provided openings. Otherwise, keep the

INSTALLING STANDS (OPTIONAL)

1. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the Revel Performa C50

loudspeaker feet and screws (for later attachment to the stand

covers, screws, and a wrench) in the loudspeaker’s left pad and

flat foot in the right pad. Set all parts aside.

2. Start the stand assembly by fastening three upright bars to the

bottom ‘T’ base with three enclosed 1⁄4 -20 x 1" flat head

screws. Note the position of the angled ends on the short and

long upright bars, as shown in Figure 4 (right side view).

3. Place the stand in its upright position. Install the top plate with

three enclosed 1⁄4 -20 x 1" flat head screws, as shown in Figure 5.

as shown in Figure 6.

5. Place your Revel Performa C50 loudspeaker as shown onto a

carpeted surface or soft towel. Attach the assembled stand with

four 8-32 x 3⁄4" flat head screws, as shown in Figure 7. Turn the

unit upright. Make final placement and spike adjustments.

INSTALLING SPIKES

If desired, you can add spikes to the REVEL PERFORMA C50

loudspeaker as follows:

1. Remove the spike feet, lock nuts, and wrench from the plastic bag.

2. Lay the REVEL PERFORMA C50 loudspeaker on its top on a

carpeted area or soft towel. Use caution to avoid touching the

transducers and grille. Remove the black screws that serve as

glides on the three feet and store them for future use. Start a set

of spikes, as shown in Figure 8. Be sure to thread each spike the

same amount to achieve a level placement.

NOTE: If you want to place the loudspeaker on a hardwood or tile

floor, or on a large-screen television set, use the round ends with

optional supplied covers. Further adjustment of each spike may be

necessary due to uneven floors.

3. (Optional) To tilt the REVEL PERFORMA C50 loudspeaker

down (or up) so that it is on-axis with the listener(s), perform

the following:

• For a downward tilt, adjust the two front spikes for decreased

extension and the rear center spike for increased extension to

achieve the amount of tilt you desire.

• For a upward tilt, adjust the two front spikes for increased

extension and the rear center spike for decreased extension to

achieve the amount of tilt you desire.

4. Using the supplied wrench, tighten a lock nut onto each spike.
