ABOUT REVEL

®

Since 1996, REVEL

®

 has stood at the forefront of loudspeaker design 

and performance. Backed by Harman International’s world leading 

research and design facilities, REVEL

®

 loudspeakers benefit from cutting 

edge resources such as:

•  Multiple large anechoic chambers which allow for precise testing 

and measurements.

•  A multi-channel listening lab for double-blind, position independent 

listening tests.

•  A laser interferometer that enables detailed driver and cabinet 

analysis.

•  Finite element analysis, utilized for advanced loudspeaker modeling.
•  A stereo lithography apparatus, which rapidly “builds” tooled parts.
