Flagship PerformaBe in-wall speaker line priced from $1,500 to $3,500 each.
“For two-channel hi-fi, home theaters, and whole-home audio distribution, our new Revel flagship architectural loudspeaker series is designed to deliver the renowned PerformaBe sound in a custom installation solution,” said Jim Garrett, Senior Director, Product Strategy and Planning, HARMAN Luxury Audio Group. “And since all PerformaBe speakers utilize the same patented technology, architectural, floorstanding, and bookshelf loudspeakers can be mixed and matched in a single system without sacrificing audio quality.”
The PerformaBe Architectural Series consists of four models:
- W126Be (2-way 6.5-inch in-wall) $1,750 each
- W226Be (2-way dual 6.5-inch in-wall) $2,250 each
- W228Be (3-way dual 8-inch in-wall) $3,500 each
- C128Be (2-way 8-inch in-ceiling) $1,500 each
At the heart of the speakers’ detailed sound lies a 1-inch beryllium tweeter driven by a ferrite motor assembly. The tweeter and ceramic-coated, cast-aluminum Acoustic Lens waveguide seamlessly integrate with the directivity of the speakers’ Deep Ceramic Composite (DCC) aluminum woofer and mid-frequency driver cones for greater bandwidth, less compression, improved dynamic range, reduced distortion, and increased power handling. A high-order crossover design allows the smallest nuances and details from music to be heard and includes a high-frequency attenuation switch to further tailor the sound to the room.
The W126Be, W226Be, W228Be, and C12Be are each available with an optional integrated back box enclosure for consistent performance and reduced noise ingress into adjacent spaces. The loudspeakers feature a patented Cat Claw mounting system that makes installation far easier than traditional dog leg designs, and mounting depths that fit within standard 4-inch wall and 6-inch ceiling stud bays. Preconstruction brackets are available for all models as well.
