3-way twin 8-inch W228Be — and one in-ceiling mannequin: the 2-way 8-inch C128Be.
On the coronary heart of the audio system you get the 1-inch beryllium tweeter
and the highly effective ferrite motor meeting that the PerformaBe line is thought for. The tweeter and ceramic-coated,
cast-aluminum Acoustic Lens waveguide combine with the directivity
of the audio system’ Deep Ceramic Composite (DCC) aluminum woofer and mid-frequency
driver cones for what Revel says offers you “better bandwidth, much less compression, improved dynamic vary,
diminished distortion, and elevated energy dealing with”.
The PerformaBe Architectural Lineup
The W126Be is an in-wall model of the M126Be bookshelf
loudspeaker and shares the identical 6.5-inch 2-way design as its in-room
counterpart. The W126Be would work effectively as a
smaller, two-channel hi-fi music loudspeaker, or as a encompass channel loudspeaker in a
system with its bigger siblings.
Stepping up within the vary, the W226Be is a twin
6.5-inch 2-way LCR model of the smaller W126Be. Due to it is bigger dimension and in-wall capabilities, we are able to see this getting used as a entrance channel in a custom-installed house theater system, or as an
in-wall middle channel companion to the F226Be or M126Be in-room loudspeakers.
The C128Be 8-inch 2-way in-ceiling mannequin affords an answer for
high-resolution sound in a whole-home distributed audio system, or it may be
deployed as an in-ceiling encompass or top channel in a {custom} put in house
theater system.
The biggest mannequin within the vary — the W228Be — shares an
an identical twin 8-inch 3-way driver configuration with the F228Be
floorstanding loudspeaker, however with the tweeter and midrange drivers mounted on
a rotatable module positioned within the middle of the baffle between the 2 woofers.
This permits the W228Be for use both vertically as a foremost channel
loudspeaker, or horizontally as a middle channel when the tweeter/midrange
module is positioned for such use. This flexibility makes the W228Be an ideal alternative for
use as an in-wall LCR system, or as a matched in-wall middle channel
when paired with both the F228Be or F328Be floorstanding loudspeakers.
