locations and initial settings.
SYSTEM OPTIMIZATION
After connecting the REVEL ULTIMA GEM loudspeakers,
initially set both HIGH FREQUENCY LEVEL controls on the
rear panel to the “0” position (see Figure 15).
1. Turn on the system power and play a favorite piece of music.
Slowly increase the volume to a comfortable level and listen
from your main listening position. Experiment with placement
(see page 9), as it will pay off in optimized tonal balance, image
specificity, and spaciousness.
2. You may also wish to further adjust the HIGH FREQUENCY
LEVEL controls (see Figure 15) for both front and rear tweet-
ers to achieve the most natural sound in your room. Varying
the FRONT control will change the high frequency balance
and timbre. Varying the REAR control will mainly affect “air”
and spaciousness.
NOTE: Be certain the corresponding controls are set the same on
both left and right channels.
