REVEL PERFORMA B15a SUBWOOFER WITHOUT
HIGH-PASS CROSSOVER

Revel strongly recommends using both a low-pass and high-pass
crossover with any “main” left and right loudspeakers of any size.
The use of a high-pass crossover greatly reduces distortion, increases
dynamic range, and optimizes the transition from the B15a
subwoofer to the main loudspeakers. If needed, your Revel dealer
can help with the proper crossover settings.

If the B15a subwoofer will be used without a high-pass crossover
(see Figure 13), contact your Revel dealer for help in setting the
crossover controls so the main speakers and the B15a subwoofer(s)
will produce an optimum combined response.
