FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS
• Beryllium Dome Tweeter
• 5th-generation Acoustic Lens Waveguide
• Deep Ceramic Composite (DCC™) Cone Midrange and Woofers
• Wide bandwidth and dynamic range with minimal dynamic compression
• High-order Crossovers with Film Capacitors and Air Core Inductors
• Premium High-Gloss Finishes: Black, White, Walnut, Metallic Silver
Thank you for purchasing the Revel PerformaBe loudspeakers. These true full-range
loudspeakers deliver an impressive combination of wide frequency range, uncompressed
dynamic range and low distortion across the entire audible spectrum.
The tweeter dome is pure Beryllium (Be), a rare and costly metal with a multitude of
properties that make it the ideal tweeter dome material. Beryillium is extremely low mass
(approximately half the weight of aluminum, titanium and diamond) yet up to 4.5 times
stiffer than aluminum or titanium, yielding superior high frequency extension and resolution
to 40kHz. Its high thermal conductivity helps cool the voice coil for increased reliability. This
newly developed tweeter sets a new standard of transparency for speakers anywhere near
the PerformaBe’s class. The tweeter’s integrated 5th generation acoustic lens waveguide
is based on a breakthrough mathematical approach that accurately matches the tweeter’s
dispersion to that of the midrange transducer in the crossover region. This gives the
loudspeaker very smooth sound over an exceptionally wide listening area–an important
contributor to lifelike imaging for multiple listeners in a room. Further, the remarkable
waveguide actually increases the tweeter’s dispersion at frequencies above the crossover
range. The Revel PerformaBe’s low frequency and midrange transducers feature newly
developed Deep Ceramic Composite (DCC) cone technology. With DCC the aluminum cone
is exposed to intense plasma discharge in order to fuse a deep layer of ceramic to both
sides of the cone, thereby stiffening and damping the cone far beyond untreated aluminum.
DCC technology reduces cone resonance and promotes ideal piston motion; the benefits
are immediately audible in midrange purity and detail retrieval. Their cast aluminum frames
eliminate another source of resonance that is common in many lesser-quality loudspeakers.
The PerformaBe models employ a sophisticated fluid-model designed low frequency port
with identical flares on both ends. This greatly minimizes dynamic compression and port-
generated noise, assuring low distortion low frequency performance.
The Performa enclosures are similar to our flagship Ultima2 Series. The fully curved
enclosure is inherently stiffer than conventional rectangular enclosures. The cabinet walls
are formed with contiguous wood layers to damp material resonance, while strategically
placed braces eliminate the possibility of enclosure-induced coloration. These beautiful,
modern enclosures are finished in high-gloss black, white, metallic or genuine American
walnut in a process (developed and overseen by Italian luxury cabinet makers) that exceeds
automotive finish quality. The loudspeaker grilles are designed to minimize diffraction to
maintain perfect three-dimensional imaging. The magnetic grille attachment method
completely eliminates ugly hardware on the loudspeaker baffle. Whether you use them
with or without grilles PerformaBe speakers will always present a clean, sophisticated
appearance.
Revel PerformaBe’s crossover networks features carefully selected components that
contribute to great performance and benchmark setting value. These high-order crossover
networks dramatically reduce distortion and dynamic compression for clear sound that
maintains the same quality over a very wide dynamic range. These precision networks
optimize the speakers’ timbre accuracy, enhancing musical enjoyment for listeners who are
anywhere in the room, not only those seated on-axis to the loudspeakers. Revel-designed
binding posts are heavily gold plated and include an articulated section that allows for
more secure connections when using spade lugs. The C426Be center-channel loudspeaker
includes two sets of binding posts that enable the loudspeakers to be bi-wired or bi-amped.
During development every Revel loudspeaker model is compared to competitive models in
our unique position-independent double-blind listening lab. This process utilizes the latest
psychoacoustic research to assure that these listening tests are valid, enabling us to verify
that all Revel loudspeakers are superior to their competitors before they are allowed to go
into production.

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
Loudspeaker fidelity depends on the following three factors: loudspeaker accuracy,
loudspeaker placement, and listening room acoustics. Experimenting with loudspeaker
placement and listening room acoustics will have the most significant impact on the
loudspeakers’ performance. The C426Be’s performance is optimized for the most common
center-channel speaker placement options: near a wall, on a stand or inside a cabinet or
entertainment center.
Revel PerformaBe C426Be Loudspeaker
Owner’s Manual
5
LOUDSPEAKER PLACEMENT
We recommend that you remove all obstructions between the loudspeaker and the primary
listening position. For instance, a coffee table between the loudspeaker and the primary
listening position will create reflections that will degrade timbre which can make film dialog
more difficult to understand. Placing the loudspeakers near large objects may also cause
unwanted reflections.
STAND-MOUNTING
A pedestal stand, table, or cabinet will place the C426Be at the proper height for installation
below a TV display.
FLUSH-MOUNTING
When flush-mounting the C426Be inside of a cabinet or entertainment center:
• Make sure that the front of the loudspeaker is flush with the front edge of the mounting
shelf and surrounding surfaces.
• If necessary to aim the loudspeaker directly at the listeners’ ears, use the supplied
long feet to angle the loudspeaker down if it is placed above the TV display, or use the
supplied short feet to angle the loudspeaker up or straight forward if it is placed below
the TV display. See Adjustable Feet, on page 5.
ADJUSTABLE FEET
C426Be loudspeakers include two sets of adjustable feet, one short and one long that let
you angle the loudspeaker up or down so it is aiming towards listeners’ ears when it is
installed above or below a TV display. The feet screw into the threaded inserts on the bottom
of the speaker. Also included is a set of levelers that screw into the feet for added tilt.
•
To tilt the loudspeaker upward, adjust the front threaded feet downward so that the
loudspeaker achieves the desired level balance.
• To aim the loudspeaker straight forward (with no tilt), remove the front threaded feet
so that the rubber bumper rests on the seating surface. Adjust the rear threaded feet
downward so that the loudspeaker achieves the desired level balance.
• To tilt the loudspeaker downward, remove the front threaded feet, rubber bumper and
foot support. Reinstall the front rubber bumper and threaded feet until snug to the
loudspeaker bottom. Rest the front rubber bumpers on the seating surface. Adjust
the rear threaded feet downward so that the loudspeaker acheives the desired level
balance.

MAKING CONNECTIONS
CAUTION: Never make or break connections unless all system components are
powered off.
OBSERVE PROPER POLARITY
Connect the amplifier’s positive (+) terminal to the positive (+) terminal on the loudspeaker;
connect the amplifier’s negative (–) terminal to the negative (–) terminal on the loudspeaker.
Do not reverse polarities (that is, do not connect + to –, or – to +) when making connections.
Doing so will cause diminished dialog intelligibility and diminished bass response.
SPEAKER CABLE
Use high-quality loudspeaker cable with a maximum total loop resistance of 0.07 ohms or
less for each wire run. Refer to the table below to determine the appropriate wire gauge for
your installation.
MINIMUM WIRE GAUGE
Maximum Wire
Length (Feet)
Maximum Wire
Length (Meters)
Minimum Wire
Gauge (AWG)
< 87 < 27 6
< 69 < 21 7
< 58 < 18 8
< 43 < 13 9
< 34 < 10 10
< 27 < 8 11
< 22 < 7 12
< 17 < 5 13
< 14 < 4 14
< 11 < 3.5 15
< 9 < 3 16
< 7 < 2 17
< 5 < 1.5 18
Note: High loop resistances that exceed 0.07 ohms (for each wire run) will cause the
loudspeaker’s filter network to be mis-terminated, resulting in considerable degradation
of sound quality.
CAUTION: Revel C426Be loudspeakers are designed to be used with an external
crossover (high-pass filter), such as is found in the center channel outputs of surround
processors and audio/video receivers. An 80Hz crossover frequency is ideal, and will
minimize dynamic compression and distortion. If desired, the C426Be may be used
with crossover frequencies as low as 50Hz.
If the AVR/processor only offers “Large” and “Small” settings for the center channel,
select the “Small” setting.
C426Be CONNECTIONS
The C426Be features gold-plated binding posts that allow single-wire connection.
Amplifier
(one channel shown)
C426Be
Connector Panel
Before making connections to the C426Be, note the following:
• The standard connection method uses a single loudspeaker cable. The C426Be is
equipped with two pairs of input terminals to allow for bi-wiring or bi-amping. 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.
• When making bi-amped connections, both power amplifier channels must receive
identical input signals from the associated preamplifier. If the associated preamplifier
does not offer two connectors for the center channel, a “Y” adaptor is required.
• If desired, contact your authorized Revel dealer for information about the suitability of
power amplifier components before connecting the C426Be to your power amplifier(s).
• Review the owner’s manuals for all associated audio components to determine their
correct connection procedures.

C426BE BI-AMPED CONNECTIONS
CAUTION: Remove the shorting straps before making bi-amped connections. Failure
to do so may cause damage to some power amplifiers.
Bi-amped connections are made between both pairs of C426Be input terminals and two
separate output channels of a single power amplifier. Each C426Be input is connected to
an individual power amplifier channel, which can sometimes increase sonic performance.
Note: When making bi-amped connections, both power amplifier channels
must receive identical input signals from the associated preamp/processor. If the
associated preamp/processor only has one connector for the center channel, a “Y”
adapter is required.
1. Remove the shorting straps.
2. Connect one loudspeaker cable to the high-frequency set of C426Be input terminals.
Then connect the other end of that loudspeaker cable to the desired power amplifier
output channel.
3. Connect another loudspeaker cable to the low-frequency set of C426Be input terminals.
Then connect the other end of that loudspeaker cable to the other output channel of the
same power amplifier you connected to the high-frequency input terminals.
4. Connect both amplifier channel inputs to the center channel output of the preamp/
processor. If the preamp/processor only has one connector for the center channel, use
a “Y”-adaptor.
Note: Do not use an electronic crossover network when bi-amping a Revel C426Be
loudspeaker. Doing so will cause a considerable degradation of sound quality.

OPTIMIZING PERFORMANCE
PORT PLUGS
CAUTION: Be careful not to insert the port plug so far into the port tube that it falls inside
of the speaker.
LOUDSPEAKER VOLUME LEVELS
The high-order filters employed in Revel PerformaBe series loudspeakers include steep
cut-offs to reduce potential transducer damage from “out- of-band” frequencies. Combined
with carefully selected transducers and filter network components, this approach helps
the PerformaBe floorstanding loudspeakers maintain their performance under extreme
operating conditions.
However, all loudspeakers have limits when it comes to continuous playback. To avoid
exceeding these limits, avoid playback at volume levels that distort or strain the sound.
CAUTION: To avoid damage, reduce the volume level immediately if the loudspeaker
sound is not clean and clear. If you hear distortion, turn it down!
Once you have installed and connected your loudspeakers follow these steps the first time
you turn your new PerformaBe loudspeakers on:
1. Begin playback of a familiar music or film source.
2. Listen from the primary listening position, increasing volume to a comfortable level.
3. Experiment with the loudspeakers’ placement to achieve the best overall tonal balance,
stereo image precision, and sense of spaciousness in the listening room. Refer to
the Installation Considerations section on page 5 for additional information about
loudspeaker placement.
CARING FOR YOUR LOUDSPEAKERS
GRILLES
Revel PerformaBe speakers feature grilles with a magnetic attachment method that
eliminates unsightly attachment hardware from the speaker baffle, so if you decide to use
your speakers with the grilles removed they will retain their elegant appearance.
C426Be
When installing the grilles on the C426Be speakers, orient them so that the “TOP” markings
(embossed in the rears of the grille frames) are towards the tops of the speaker cabinets.
CABINET FINISH
The cabinet’s wood veneer or lacquer finish does not require routine maintenance. Cabinet
surfaces that have been marked with dust, fingerprints, or other dirt can be cleaned using
a soft cloth – preferably micro-fiber, and high quality auto wax. Take care not to
come in
contact with the transducers.
• To clean the grille, gently vacuum it using a soft-bristled brush vacuum attachment with
the vacuum cleaner set to the lowest possible suction.
CAUTION: To prevent cabinet damage, do not use a cloth made with steel wool or metal
polish to clean the cabinet. To prevent possible transducer damage, do not apply furniture
polish directly to the cabinet.
CAUTION: BERYLLIUM TWEETER CAUTION
Beryllium dust is a hazardous material. The Revel PerformaBe Beryllium dome will not
emit any dust under normal circumstances and is perfectly safe unless it is damaged. The
tweeter dome is protected by the acoustic lens and waveguide. As long as the waveguide
remains intact there is no cause for concern. In the unlikely event that the dome is
damaged in any way, cover the tweeter with adhesive plastic tape and contact Revel for
further instructions. Do not play the speaker if it has a damaged tweeter dome.
At the end of the speaker’s life do not dispose of it in a landfill or incinerator. Bring the
speaker to an appropriate recycling or hazardous waste disposal site. Please contact
Revel customer service for more information about proper disposal.

Revel PerformaBe loudspeakers include a pair of foam port plugs, which are pre-inserted
into the rear ports,and can be used to adjust the loudspeaker’s low-frequency performance
in certain installation situations.
If your loudspeaker is built into an entertainment center or shelving unit, or if the
loudspeaker is located less than about two feet (0.61m) from walls or other large objeccts,
leaving the port plugs inserted into the loudspeaker’s port openings can reduce the overly-
aggressive bass output that can be created by the speaker’s proximity to large bass energy
reflecting surfaces.
Remove the port plugs if your loudspeaker is to be used more than 2 feet away from walls,
entertainment centers, or other large objects.
To re-insert the port plugs, insert the port plugs into loudspeaker’s port tube openings
far enough so that the end of each plug is tlush with the inside end of the port tube’s
flared section.
