Revel S30 - Manual (Page 8)

Figure 5. In this 5.1-channel
dipole system, a pair of REVEL
PERFORMA S30 surround
loudspeakers are placed on
the ceiling behind the first row
of listeners.
NOTE: Also see mounting
instructions and precautions,
starting on page 12.
PLACEMENT (CONTINUED)
5.1-CHANNEL CEILING PLACEMENT
As an alternative, a pair of REVEL PERFORMA S30 surround
loudspeakers may be placed on the ceiling from 20 to 30 degrees
behind the prime listening area, as shown in Figure 5. They may be
used in either dipole or monopole mode (see System Optimization
on page 19).
The ideal placement is behind the first row of listeners so sound
radiates down upon all listeners. A less favorable placement is
behind the last row of listeners with sound radiating down
towards the backs of all listeners.
NOTE: In order to be effective, each REVEL PERFORMA S30
surround loudspeaker on the ceiling must be orientated so that
the woofer and tweeter on the largest enclosure plane fires towards
the listeners.
