tionally low distortion.
The Laser Interferometer also contributes to the design of the
loudspeaker cabinet. To avoid undesirable coloration, the cabinet enclo-
sure must not cause unwanted resonances. Laser scanning the loud-
speaker enclosure allows for optimization of the cabinet design, including
proper placement of internal bracing to create an acoustically inert enclo-
sure conducive to the most neutral and honest sound reproduction.
Prior to installation in the loudspeaker enclosure, each loud-
speaker driver complement and associated crossover elements are sub-
jected to rigorous testing as a complete sub-assembly. Components are
tested in an anechoic chamber and then compared to production refer-
ence standards. But even with the tightest production tolerances, slight
deviations still might occur from one loudspeaker to the next. To prevent
this, a technician compares each loudspeaker to the reference standard,
making careful adjustments by hand as needed. All tuning adjustments
and specifications are then recorded and retained for archive purposes,
referenced to the loudspeaker’s serial number.
This careful attention to detail allows Revel to achieve unparal-
leled consistency among all loudspeakers, alleviating the need for
matched pairs. Instead, all Revel loudspeakers are matched within a frac-
tion of a decibel to achieve superior soundstage imaging and accuracy.
Each pair of Performa loudspeakers sounds the same as the original refer-
ence pair as well as the loudspeakers that have won accolades from
reviewers around the world. Physically separated circuit boards for each
