MOUNTING

Each REVEL PERFORMA S30 surround loudspeaker comes with
an integral wall/ceiling mounting system. Three built-in brackets
(on the rear) are designed for use with supplied hardware and will
require installation into wallboard between studs or rafters.

Do not use substitute mounting hardware! The supplied shoulder
screws and plastic toggles are part of a factory-tested mounting
system that works on wallboard only. To obtain additional hard-
ware, contact your authorized Revel dealer.

MOUNTING A LOUDSPEAKER ON A WALL

Installation should only be done by qualified individuals who
are experienced in affixing and installing wall-mounted electrical
equipment, and who understand and observe all relevant safety
precautions. REVEL disclaims any liability whatsoever for injury
or damage to persons or property arising from installation of its
products or use of hardware it provides.

1. Determine wall locations for each pair of left and right loud-

speakers (see Placement starting on page 7).

2. At each proposed site, use a stud finder to locate the nearest

studs, which should be on 16-inch centers.

3. Tape the enclosed mounting templates to walls between the

studs, leaving a minimum clearance of

⁄

"(19 mm) from the

cabinet top to the ceiling. Use a level to verify tilt is zero. Be sure
to account for any mouldings when determining a minimum
clearance distance.

NOTE: For best performance, mount the loudspeakers at least 18"
(46 cm) away from the ceiling at an optimum height of 15° above
the prime listening position (see “Placement” on page 7).

4. At each site, drill three (3)

⁄

" (8 mm) holes at the designated

locations on the mounting template. Also create a cutout for
speaker wire within the noted boundary.

NOTE: The cutout should be wide enough to provide adequate
clearance to connect large spade lugs on terminal sides.

5. At each site, insert three (3) plastic toggles into the drilled holes

and install three (3) shoulder screws, as shown in Figure 9 (on
the next page).

6. At each site, route the speaker wire through the cutout and,

using correct polarity, attach the ends to the terminals on the
