Note: Revel IC 15 loudspeakers are intended for use with
one or more subwoofers. A powered subwoofer will add
impact and realism to both music and film soundtracks.
Contact your Revel dealer for recommendations on
subwoofer models for your application.
An alternative setup is to position the left and right
surround speakers with them “aimed” at the rear
wall (Figure
2a) – providing a more diffuse surround
sound field, for those preferring greater diffusion.
Such orientation provides good surround coverage,
even in home theaters with several rows of seating.
