W226Be

With dual 6.5-inch (165mm) aluminum cone woofers the W226Be is right at home as front LCRs in medium size media rooms. The speaker can be used vertically for left and right front channels or horizontally as a center. A zero-bezel magnetically attached grille allows the W226Be to blend into any décor and with elements including Beryllium Tweeters with Acoustic Waveguides and Patented Revel DNA it is sure to deliver unparalleled detail and a cohesive soundstage. Additionally, the W226Be shares the same caliber of components and acoustic signature as the PerformaBe in-room speakers allowing it to be mixed and matched to systems where bookshelf or floor standing versions may already exist.

At the heart of the W226Be is a 1-inch (25mm) beryllium dome tweeter driven by dual ceramic-magnets. The powerful tweeter and 5th-generation ceramic-coated, cast-aluminum Acoustic Lens waveguide seamlessly integrate with the directivity of the companion woofer driver resulting in greater efficiency, improved dynamic range, reduced distortion, and increased power handling compared to aluminum or titanium tweeters.

The dual 6.5-inch (165mm) aluminum cone woofers utilize Deep Ceramic Composite (DCC) cones for improved performance. DCC is a plasma electrolytic oxidation process that uses a plasma discharge to create a coarse ceramic coating on both sides of the aluminum core. The deep ceramic layers sandwiching the aluminum core provide constrained layer damping that push cone breakup modes outside of the passband allowing the driver to maintain ideal pistonic motion throughout its range. DCC cones combine with optimized motor magnetics to deliver improved mid- and low-frequency performance.

Revel PerformaBe crossover networks utilize all film capacitors and air core inductors in the midrange and tweeter circuits. These premium components allow Revel's world-class engineers to extract nuances and details from music that would otherwise be lost. Combined with traditional Revel high-order crossover slopes and proprietary Acoustic Lens waveguide geometry, transducer integration is seamless.
