PLACEMENT

Sound quality is heavily dependent on the accuracy of your loudspeak-
ers, their placement in the listening room, and the acoustics of the
room itself. Since the REVEL ULTIMA GEM loudspeakers are
extremely accurate, experimenting with their placement is the most
significant way to optimize their performance in a given environment.
The following guidelines will help you obtain the best results:

• In most situations, we recommend placing the REVEL

ULTIMA GEM loudspeakers on their (optional) matching
stands, as shown in Figure 8.

NOTE: When experimenting with placement, we recommend that
two people move a REVEL ULTIMA GEM loudspeaker (with its
attached stand) by lifting under the stand’s top plate.

• For best stereo imaging, place the REVEL ULTIMA GEM

loudspeakers at equal distances from the main listening position
and in symmetry with the room, as shown in Figure 9.
