PLACEMENT (CONTINUED) ROOM TREATMENT REVEL ULTIMA STUDIO loudspeakers have very accurate offaxis 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 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 determine 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 <strong>Revel</strong> 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. 10 REVEL ULTIMA STUDIO Owner’s Manual
