POrt PLUGS
Revel Performa3 bookshelf loudspeakers include a pair of foam port
plugs that can be used to adjust the loudspeaker’s low-frequency
performance in certain installation situations.
If your loudspeakers are built into an entertainment center or shelving
unit, or if the loudspeaker is located less than about two feet (0.61m)
from walls or other large objects, inserting the port plugs into the
loudspeaker’s port openings can reduce the overly-aggressive bass
output that can be created by the speaker’s proximity to large surfaces
that refl ect bass energy.
Insert the port plug into the loudspeaker’s port tube opening far enough
so that the end of the plug is fl ush with the inside end of the port tube’s
fl ared section.
CAUTION: Be careful not to insert the port plug so far into
the port tube that it falls inside of the speaker.

1. Begin playback of a familiar music or fi lm source.
2. Listen from the primary listening position, increasing volume to a
comfortable level.
3. Experiment with the loudspeakers’ placement to achieve the
best overall tonal balance, stereo image precision, and sense
of spaciousness in the listening room. Refer to the Installation
Considerations section on page 4 for additional information about
loudspeaker placement.
4. Experiment with the port plugs to achieve the best low-frequency
performance for your particular listening room and installation.
LOUdSPeaKer VOLUme LeVeLS
The high-order fi lters employed in Revel Performa3 series loudspeakers
include steep cut-offs to reduce potential transducer damage from “out-
of-band” frequencies. Combined with carefully selected transducers
and fi lter network components, this approach helps the Performa3
fl oorstanding loudspeakers maintain their performance under extreme
operating conditions.
However, all loudspeakers have limits when it comes to continuous
playback. To avoid exceeding these limits, avoid playback at volume
levels that distort or strain the sound.
CAUTION: To avoid damage, reduce volume level
immediately if the loudspeaker sound is not clean and clear.

GriLLeS
Revel Performa3 bookshelf speakers feature grilles with a magnetic
attachment method that eliminates unsightly attachment hardware from
the speaker baffl e, so if you decide to use your speakers with the grilles
removed they will retain their elegant appearance.
When installing the grille on the speaker, orient it so that the plastic
frame’s crossbar is more towards the top of the speaker cabinet.
