Revel Salon - Product Information

A technological tour de force. Unprecedented acoustical honesty. Hailed by audiophile critics and music lovers alike as the world’s best loudspeaker, Revel’s flagship Salon high-performance speaker system defines the state-of-the-art. Created with the immense technological resources of one of the world’s largest audio companies, Salon combines cutting-edge engineering and manufacturing expertise along with elegant and sophisticated visual design.

Created from the ground up, the Salon is endowed with seven proprietary high-performance drivers, which in concert provide true full-range response to reach below and above the limits of human hearing. Low frequencies are reproduced by a trio of 8-inch woofers, which feature multi-layer mica and carbon-filled co-polymer inverted domes that are truly pistonic over their assigned frequency range. The use of multiple smaller drivers, instead of a single larger unit, assures deep and accurate bass reproduction, while allowing a more desirable narrow cabinet width. Equipped with sophisticated magnetic motor structures, the woofers feature large edge-wound voice coils, double spider voice coil centering systems, and copper shorting rings for truly linear pistonic behavior and freedom from dynamic compression at elevated volume levels. Deep bass response is detailed, powerful and authoritative, extending all the way down to the lowest bass registers with an in-room low frequency extension of 16Hz. Remarkable, as some well-regarded dedicated subwoofers don’t provide this level of low bass extension.

The critical bass-to-mid-range transition is handled by a unique mid-woofer, a 6½ inch mid-bass transducer that is housed in its own separate sub-enclosure within the lower enclosure. Essentially a slightly smaller version of the Salon’s 8-inch woofers, this driver provides a seamless blend over the critical upper-bass to lower-midrange band, eliminating any possible mid-range coloration associated with wide-range woofers.

In the upper enclosure, the important mid-range frequencies are faithfully reproduced by a 4-inch high-performance driver that is endowed with a high-performance neodymium magnetic motor system. It is equipped with an inverted titanium dome which is both very stiff as well as very light, providing true linear pistonic performance over its operating frequency range along with freedom from dynamic compression.
