•Use only attachments / accessories specified by the manufacturer.
•Always shut down power supply when not in use to save energy and for prolonged lifespan.
•Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause permanent hearing loss. Individuals vary
considerably in susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss, but nearly everyone will lose some hearing if
exposed to sufficiently intense noise for a period of time. The U.S. Government’s Occupational Safety
and Health Administration (OSHA) has specified the permissible noise level exposures shown in the
following chart. According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of these permissible limits could result in
some hearing loss. To ensure against potentially dangerous exposure to high sound pressure levels, it is
recommended that all persons exposed to equipment capable of producing high sound pressure levels
use hearing protectors while the equipment is in operation. Ear plugs or protectors in the ear canals or
over the ears must be worn when operating the equipment in order to prevent permanent hearing loss if
exposure is in excess of the limits set forth here:

INTRODUCTION
The GECKO® REVELATION SR 606R 6.5” 2-WAY FULL-RANGE AUDIOPHILE LONG-THROW SPEAKER,
although small in size, is able to deliver extremely high Sound Pressure Levels (SPL) and a remarkable
C.R.I.S.T.A.L.® audiophile precision over a wide band of frequency spectrum.
The REVELATION SR 606R is the perfect choice for multi-style professional audio installations and
applications such as high-end stereo and surround-sound playback systems, surround mixing monitors for
post production, mastering studio reference monitors, tracking and mixing studio monitors, as well as many
other live environment sound enhancement applications. Like its bigger siblings, the REVELATION SR 606R
comes equipped with C.R.I.S.T.A.L.® WaveGuide technology, where multi-point and equal-volume
referencing is made possible!
The GECKO® REVELATION SR 606R includes the following features and more:
* minimally sized for smallest venues and lowest profile applications;
* C.R.I.S.T.A.L.® WaveGuide optimizes widest coverage area for all applications;
* passive C.R.I.S.T.A.L.® audiophile crossover for natural, uncompressed, precise sound reproduction;
