Introduction DOCUMENTATION CONVENTIONS Ultima Salon2/Studio2 This document contains general safety, installation and operation instructions for the REVEL Ultima Salon2/Studio2 Speakers. [. . . ] This method can be used to determine reflection points for side walls, rear walls, front walls, and even the ceiling. Applying acoustic treatment materials to the side walls is most important, followed by the front wall, rear wall, and ceiling. Once the Loudspeakers has been placed, sit in the primary listening position and ask another person to slide a mirror along the listening room walls. Note the locations at which the person sitting in the primary listening position can see either the left, center or right front loudspeakers. Be sure to look for all of the speakers in the reflection on each room boundaries, including the front and rear walls. These are reflection points that require acoustic treatment materials. If acoustic treatment materials are not available, hanging a rug over the reflection points will help reduce degradation in overly "live" rooms. Carpeting the floor between the loudspeakers and the primary listening position and placing irregular surfaces such as bookcases at first reflection points will also help minimize strong reflections. Avoid placing large reflective surfaces such as coffee tables between the loudspeakers and the listeners for critical listening. COMBINATION SPIKES/GLIDES When shipped, combination spikes/glides, shown in the next page in Figure 6 and 7, are not attached to the bottom of the cabinet. For optimal stability and to accommodate installations on tile, hardwood, and carpeted floors, you can install the combination spikes/glides. Use the glide side to protect tile and hardwood floors. Caution When moving the Salon or Studio2, avoid dragging it across the floor. If the Salon2 or Studio2 are placed on a carpeted floor, the spikes/glides should be adjusted with the sharp end protruding from the cabinet. The spikes/glides should be used so that the smooth "glide" end is exposed to protect tile, hardwood floors and furniture. Select the appropriate end of the spike/glide, depending on your surface. If the speaker is to be used on a hardwood floor or smooth surface, use the glide end of the spike. Screw the first spike into the threaded insert, making sure to include the locking ring and felt washer in the order shown. Make sure all spikes are evenly threaded to achieve a level balance. 12 Ultima Salon2/Studio2 Owner's Manual Figure 6: Combination Spike/Glide Components MAKING CONNECTIONS The Salon2/Studio2 features gold-plated binding posts and jumper straps that allow it to be configured for single-wired, Bi-wired, or Bi-amplified connections. Felt Washer Locking Ring Caution Never make or break connections unless all system components are powered off. Remove the input panel jumper-straps identified in Figure 4, page 9, before making bi-wired or bi-amplified connections. Before making connections, note the following: · The standard connection method uses a single loudspeaker cable. The Salon2/Studio2 are equipped with two pairs of input terminals to allow for bi-wiring or bi-amplification. While Revel does not endorse one particular connection method over another, these additional connection options are available if desired. The design of this loudspeaker is such that optimal performance can be attained using the standard connection method. [. . . ] Studies have shown that the ­10dB specification best correlates to controlled listening tests. At low frequencies, most loudspeaker and listening room combinations demonstrate significant room gain, which produces an increase in levels as frequencies decrease. Unlike the ­3 dB specification, the ­10dB specification reflects the steepness of low-frequency roll-offs. .
