The diffuse and enveloping surround sound field of a commercial movie theater is the result of the combined output of many surround speakers placed at the sides and rear of the audience seating area. In the much smaller residential home theater space, it isn’t practical to use many surround speakers to replicate this effect. The Embrace surround speaker features a unique dual-dispersion capability, which provides for the first time the ability to completely envelop listeners with spacious and expansive home theater surround sound effects, while at the same time minimizing the effects of surround speaker localization.

On the other hand, multichannel music sources benefit from a more directional dispersion pattern, providing a more precise acoustical image for instruments and sounds directed at the listener via the surround channels. Typical surround speakers that are optimized for motion picture sound reproduction are usually only able to provide a diffuse dispersion pattern. The Embrace surround speaker features a second, more directional bi-polar dispersion mode that provides the increased directionality required by multichannel music sources. A remote control provision allows automatic switching between dispersion modes with select surround processors, and an enclosure-mounted switch allows manual selection of either mode.

Featuring Revel’s proprietary driver technology, the Embrace is outfitted with an 8-inch woofer equipped with a composite carbon-filled mica cone, along with two 4-inch inverted titanium cone midrange drivers, and a pair of three-layer coated textile dome tweeters. Since no two listening rooms are alike, the Embrace is also fitted a flexible and configurable dividing network, which allows fine-tuning for optimum results in a wide range of listening environments and surround speaker mounting situations.

As with other Revel loudspeakers, each Embrace features three separate crossover boards to prevent mutual interference between individual circuit elements.

The result? Spacious and expansive motion picture sound effects that envelop the listeners, and superior multi-channel music reproduction especially with high resolution music formats, such as DVD-Audio and SACD. Embrace is the only surround speaker that serves both music and movies equally well.

With your choice of Matte Black or Matte White finishes, Embrace may be ceiling or wall-mounted.
