Revel PerformaBe Architectural Loudspeakers
At the CEDIA Expo 2023 held in Denver, CO USA – September 7th to the 9th, HARMAN Luxury Audio officially introduced the world to the latest addition to the award-winning Revel PerformaBe line of loudspeakers: the PerformaBe Architectural Series.
These high-end architectural loudspeakers utilize the same beryllium dome tweeters, advanced Acoustic Lens waveguides, and patented Revel DNA for which the PerformaBe line is known. The result is a shared sonic signature that allows PerformaBe architectural, floorstanding, and bookshelf loudspeakers to be mixed in a system.
This training module will dive deep into the technology and use cases for the four-family series that consists of three in-wall models – the 2-way 6.5-inch W126Be, 2-way dual 6.5-inch W226Be, and the 3-way dual 8-inch W228Be – and one in-ceiling model, the 2-way 8-inch C128Be. At the heart of these speakers’ pristine sound lies a 1-inch beryllium tweeter driven by a powerful ferrite motor assembly. The tweeter and its ceramic-coated, cast-aluminum Acoustic Lens waveguide seamlessly integrate with the directivity of the speakers’ Deep Ceramic Composite (DCC) aluminum woofer and mid-frequency driver cones for greater bandwidth, less compression, improved dynamic range, reduced distortion, and increased power handling.
As you will see and learn in the training module that will be released in November, from two-channel hi-fi, home theaters, and whole-home audio distribution systems, the new Revel flagship architectural loudspeaker series is designed to deliver the renowned Revel PerformaBe sound in custom installation solutions.
