INPUT PANEL
The numbers in Figure 4 (below) correspond
with the numbered items in this section.
1. Woofer Port
Enhances low-frequency extension.
Computer-optimized internal and
external flares minimize distortion
resulting from air turbulence.
2. Input Connectors
Provide input connections from the
associated power amplifier(s). One
“positive” and one “negative” gold-
plated binding posts are available. Refer
to the Making Connections section
beginning on page 12 for additional
information.
INSTALLATION
CONSIDERATIONS
Loudspeaker fidelity depends on the following
three factors:
1. Loudspeaker accuracy
2. Loudspeaker placement
3. Listening room acoustics
Advanced Revel design features allow the
M12 to achieve exceptional acoustical
precision. Experimenting with loudspeaker
placement and listening room acoustics
have the most significant impact on the
M12 loudspeaker’s performance.
LOUDSPEAKER PLACEMENT
The bulleted items that begin below
indicate important loudspeaker placement
considerations for the M12.
• Remove all obstructions between the
M12 and the primary listening
position. For instance, a coffee table
between the M12 and the primary
listening position will degrade stereo
imaging and timbre. Placing the M12s
near large objects may also cause
unwanted reflections.
• For the best stereo imaging, place the
M12s at equal distances from the
primary listening position and in sym-
metry with the room as shown in
Figure 5 (page 10).
• For optimal stereo imaging and timbre,
point the M12s directly toward the
primary listening position as shown in
Figure 5 (page 10). The toe-in angle
can be reduced to widen the sound-
stage, even to the point at which the
M12s are pointing straight forward.
The numbers in Figure 4 (above) correspond with the
numbered items in the Input Panel section that begins
