Get surrounded by Revel sound A lot of high-end speaker companies are so focused on 2-channel sound that they don't even make surround speakers. But Revel designed the Performa3 S206 surround speaker to be a perfect sonic match for the company's acclaimed Performa3 floor-standing and bookshelf models. The speaker's dual sets of drivers operate in a bi-polar configuration, creating a spacious, enveloping surround sound bubble. Custom-designed drivers deliver detailed sound Revel designs and builds every driver that goes into their speakers. The S206 has dual 6-1/2" aluminum cone woofers, and two 1" aluminum dome tweeters that use Revel's proprietary acoustic lens/waveguide combo to increase dispersion at higher frequencies. The result is smooth, diffuse sound that's hard to locate. Just what you want from a surround speaker. The S206 loudspeaker can be placed in either a side surround or back surround location. The speaker's radiation pattern is optimized for placement to the side of the primary listening position in a 5.1-channel home theater setup, and for side- and rear-wall placement for a 7.1 system. Tested by instrument and by ear Revel's world-class speaker design and testing facility features an anechoic chamber and the latest high-tech measurement gear. But some of their most critical test instruments are the ears of their trained listening panel. When working on a new design, Revel's engineers set up a series of controlled auditions comparing their design to several competing speakers. Speakers under comparison sit on a rotating platform, and each model is moved into the identical position by a computer-controlled belt drive system. An acoustically transparent screen hides the speakers from the listeners to avoid visual bias. These double-blind listening tests provide an essential reality check, and help the engineers corr
