Introduction
Revel ® Concerta ™ LCR8
The Revel ® Concerta ™ LCR8 loudspeaker is actually three
discrete speakers built into a single enclosure. The LCR8
incorporates the front left, center and right channels of
a home theater system. Simply add a Revel powered
subwoofer and satellite speakers for the surround channels
to complete a high-performance home entertainment
loudspeaker system. The horizontal design allows for
maximum placement flexibility.
Please read this owner’s manual completely before
connecting and operating the LCR8 all-in-one left, center,
right loudspeaker. Optimum performance is dependent upon
following these instructions, as well as those in the owner’s
manuals of associated components in your home theater
system. Save these instructions for future reference.
Unpacking the Speaker
Finish unpacking the loudspeaker and check the
contents. If you suspect damage from transit, report
it immediately to your dealer. Keep the shipping
carton and packing materials for future use.
Contents
Please verify that the package contains the
following items:
(1) LCR8 loudspeaker
(2) Wall-mount end caps
(attached to the LCR8)
(1) Speaker base (1) Allen wrench
(1) Wall bracket with wall bracket cover
Note: The Revel Concerta LCR8 is ideally suited for
use with a subwoofer. Contact your Revel dealer
for recommendations on subwoofer models for
your application.
Planning Your System
Before deciding where to best place your speakers,
survey your room and study Figure 1. The LCR8 should
be placed directly above or below the TV.
Figure 1: In this overhead view of a typical installation,
the LCR8 is used to reproduce the front channels, and
satellite loudspeakers are used to reproduce sound for
the surround channels. The powered subwoofer
reproduces low frequencies.
Placement
Figure 2: This example shows the LCR8 mounted on its
bracket above a television and, alternatively, placed on
its base below the television and tilted up (see Figure 3).
Note: If placing the LCR8 on top of a television,
be sure the top of the television has a flat surface
large enough to accommodate the speaker
base. Do not set the speaker on top of any
surface without using the included base.
