Revel Voice - Manual (Page 5)

• Oversized 2-inch diameter voice coil with flat aluminum wire
offer higher power handling than average-sized coils for greater
accuracy at high volume levels and during extended crescendos.
TWEETERS
Each VOICE speaker also contains a high-performance tweeter
with the following features:
• Optimized tweeter-dome profiles for maximum dispersion,
while eliminating coloration caused by “break-up modes.”
• Linear reproduction with very-low harmonic distortion even at
high output levels for uncompressed sound purity.
• The tweeter utilizes a large voice-coil with an oversized surround
roll. This provides the higher power handling and longer excursion
capability required to reproduce greater uncompressed dynamics.
CROSSOVER NETWORK
Built into each VOICE speaker is an individually-optimized
crossover network with the following features:
• A 3-way, 24 dB per octave crossover at 300 Hz and 2.2 kHz
shapes the on- and off-axis response of each driver and the com-
plete system.
• Hand-wired filter networks with air-core inductors and film
capacitors are calibrated to match each Ultima VOICE speaker
to the reference standard.
• Provision for bi-amplified and bi-wired applications via remov-
able external shorting straps on the gold-plated binding posts.
• External level controls for the tweeter via calibrated switched
precision resistors, thus maintaining identical response from
both speakers for ideal imaging.
• External LF tilt control for speaker placement optimization.
CABINET
The cabinet offers groundbreaking appearance and aids in overall
system performance. The inner enclosure is designed as an acousti-
cally-inert platform for sound-wave generation. Integral top and
bottom panels provide a custom look via available finishes (see
Panel Replacement on page 14) and are internally damped by sand-
wiched viscoelastic energy-absorbing layers to reduce any sound
transmission effects.
