Planning Your SystemBefore deciding where to best place your speakers,survey your room and study Figures 1 and 2.

Figure 1: In this overhead view of a typical 5-channelinstallation, satellites are used to reproduce sound for the front and surround channels. A dedicatedloudspeaker reproduces the center channel, and asubwoofer reproduces low frequencies below thecrossover point.

Figure 2: This overhead view shows a typical hometheater plan. Left/right rear channels are for a 7-channel system. The center rear channel is for a 6-channel system.

Note: The Revel Concerta M10 is ideally suitedfor use with a subwoofer. Contact your Reveldealer for recommendations on subwoofermodels for your application.

PlacementNote: The satellite speakers can be placeddirectly on a shelf or tabletop, using one ofthe three included shelf stands, or mountedon a wall using the included wall brackets.Optional floor stands are also available.Please contact your dealer.

Left and Right Front ChannelsFor left and right front channels, place one satellite to theleft and another to the right of the television, as shown inFigure 1. Since the speakers are magnetically shielded,you can place them close to a CRT TV without worryingabout the magnetic field distorting the picture.

Surround ChannelsFor left and right surround channels, place one speakeron the left and another on the right, to the side of orslightly behind the listening area. The surround speakersshould ideally be mounted at a height of between 4 feetand 7 feet.

In 6- or 7-channel configurations, place the rear channel(s)behind the listening position, as shown in Figure 2.

InstallationPlease read through this owner’s manual completely before attempting to install or connect the speakers.It is understandable that you may be anxious to play your new system, so every effort has been made to simplifythe installation and connections of the Revel ConcertaM10 loudspeakers.

Before proceeding, you should decide how you would liketo install the M10 loudspeakers. They may be mounted onthe included tabletop/shelf stands, mounted on the wallusing the included wall bracket, or mounted to theoptional floor stands.

Step SixThe wall-bracket design allows for rotation of the speakersat angles up to 30º of center. Position the speakers so thatthey face toward the primary listening position, before fully tightening.

Wiring the SpeakerAfter placing the speaker, you are ready to connect it to your system. First, turn off all audio-system power.Use high-quality speaker wire to make the connections.Consult the owner’s manuals included with your amplifieror receiver, for connection and operation procedures.

Surround ModesWhen using the system in a Dolby® Digital or DTS® hometheater system, make sure the receiver or processor isset to “Small” for all M10 loudspeakers.

Some receivers/processors offer a choice of crossoverfrequencies. Select 110Hz as the crossover frequency for all M10 loudspeakers in the system.

Some Dolby Digital-equipped receivers/processors offerdifferent setup options for each source or surroundmode, e.g., CD-stereo, DVD, Dolby, Pro Logic®. In eachcase, follow your equipment’s instructions to ensure thatthe subwoofer output is turned on and that the speakersare set to “Small” or to a crossover frequency of 110Hzin each mode.

Wiring and PolarityThe M10 speaker has gold-plated terminals that canaccept bare wire.To ensure proper polarity, connect each + terminal on the back of the amplifier or receiverto the respective + (red) terminal on each speaker, asshown in Figure 3. Connect the – (black) terminals in a similar way. See the owner’s manuals that wereincluded with your amplifier or receiver to confirmconnection procedures.

Figure 3: This example shows how to connect barewires to the terminals. Banana plugs may also beinserted directly into the rear of the connector.

1. Loosen the terminals.2. Inset bare ends; tighten terminals.

Important! DO NOT reverse polarities (+ to – or– to +) when making connections. Doing so willdegrade the imaging and bass response of thehome theater system.

After correctly placing and wiring the M10 and the restof your speaker system, adjust the levels for all of thechannels as recommended by the manufacturer of yourreceiver/processor.

Maintenance and ServiceWhen needed, use a soft cloth to remove any fingerprintsor to wipe off dust. Do not use any cleaning products orpolish. Clean the grille by gentle vacuuming.

If your M10 loudspeaker should ever need service,please contact your local dealer or distributor, or visit www.revelspeakers.com for the location of a service center.
