S206

2-Way Surround Loudspeaker

The speaker’s two sets of transducers operate in a bi-polar configuration, which maximizes the speaker’s timbre match with that of other Revel Performa3 speakers and further integrates the entire system’s sound into a spacious, enveloping surround-sound environment.

The S206 tweeters feature an integrated acoustic lens waveguide that is based on a breakthrough mathematical approach that accurately matches the tweeters’ dispersion to that of the low-frequency transducers in the crossover region. This gives the loudspeaker very smooth sound far off-axis – an important contributor to overall sound quality, providing consistent sound over an exceptionally wide listening area.

In fact, this new waveguide actually increases the tweeter’s dispersion at higher frequencies. The S206 enclosure features strategically-oriented bracing that eliminates the possibility of enclosure-induced coloration.

S206 Highlights

• Transducers feature motor-system distortion-reduction mechanisms that stabilize the flux field during operation

• Ribbed aluminum cones achieve piston like behavior eliminating major sources of resonance

• New waveguides provide consistent sound over a wide listening area

• Enclosures created by Italian luxury cabinetmakers

• Fluid-model port designs keep distortion low

• Advanced crossovers optimize timbre accuracy both on axis and throughout the room
