7 Revel Concerta IW65/IW80 & IC65/IC80/IC6T2
Owner’s Manual
2-Channel Stereo Sound
• Place the left and right loudspeakers as close to
the same distance from the primary listening area
as possible, and also at an equal distance from the
side walls.
Ideally, the distance between the left and right
loudspeakers should be slightly less than their
distance from the primary listening area. The
distance between the left and right loudspeakers
should also be the same distance as from the
loudspeakers to the side walls.
MOUNTING
INSTRUCTIONS
The Concerta Series in-wall and in-ceiling speakers
were designed to be simple to install. However, if you
are unable to clearly and fully understand and follow the
instructions in this manual, or if you are unsure of your
ability to properly install these loudspeakers, please
contact your Revel dealer or a qualified installer.
Each loudspeaker comes with an integral wall/ceiling
mounting system, designed for installation into the
wallboard between the studs or rafters using the
supplied hardware.
WARNING!
Harman International Industries,
Incorporated, assumes no
responsibility for improper
installation of hardware or for
any personal injuries or product
damage resulting from improper
installation or a loudspeaker
that has fallen.
CAUTION!
Do not substitute mounting
hardware! The supplied
hardware is part of a factory-
tested mounting system that
works on wallboard only. To
obtain additional hardware,
contact your authorized
Revel dealer.
The tools required to properly install the in-wall or in-ceiling
speakers are:
• Pencil
• Measuring tape
• Carpenter’s level
• Phillips-head #2 screwdriver – DO NOT use a powered
screwdriver of any kind
• Utility knife
• Awl
• Level
REMOVE POWER
The speaker wires must be connected before the speaker
is fully installed. To protect the audio system and the
installer from accidental electrical shorting and surges
during installation, turn all audio system power off before
starting the speaker installation.
SPEAKER WIRES
Using high-quality speaker wire will maintain the
best sound quality from your Revel in-wall or in-ceiling
speakers. For distances of 100 feet or less, use at
least #16-gauge speaker wire with polarity coding.
For distances of greater than 100 feet, use at least
#12-gauge wire or heavier. The side of the wire with a
ridge or other coding is usually considered positive (+)
polarity. Also consult the owner’s manuals that were
included with your amplifier or receiver to confirm
proper connection procedures.
Observe polarities when making speaker connections.
Connect each positive terminal on the back of the
amplifier or receiver to the respective positive or “+”
(red) terminal on each speaker. Connect the negative
or “–” (black) terminals in the same way.
CAUTION!
Do not reverse polarities
(i.e., + to – , or – to +) when
making connections. Doing so
will cause poor imaging and
diminished bass response.
Be certain that positive and
negative wire strands are
completely isolated to avoid
short circuits that may
damage your equipment.
Use high-quality loudspeaker cable with a maximum
total loop resistance of 0.07 ohms or less (for each wire
run). Refer to the table on the next page to determine
the appropriate maximum wire gauge.
All in-wall speaker wires must be UL-listed for use with
in-wall applications.
