Introduction
Revel®Concerta™M10
The Revel®Concerta™M10 satellite speaker continues
the longstanding Revel commitment to accurate sound
reproduction. The proprietary transducers utilizing Micro
Ceramic Composite (MCC) diaphragms, precision dividing
networks, sophisticated high-frequency waveguides and
rigid enclosures all combine to deliver uncompromising
performance in any stereo or multichannel home theater
system. In addition, these speakers are magnetically
shielded for safe placement near a CRT television.

from transit, report it immediately to your dealer and/or

Planning Your System
Before 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-channel
installation, satellites are used to reproduce sound
for the front and surround channels. A dedicated
loudspeaker reproduces the center channel, and a
subwoofer reproduces low frequencies below the
crossover point.
Figure 2: This overhead view shows a typical home
theater 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 suited
for use with a subwoofer. Contact your Revel
dealer for recommendations on subwoofer
models for your application.

Placement
Note: The satellite speakers can be placed
directly on a shelf or tabletop, using one of
the three included shelf stands, or mounted
on a wall using the included wall brackets.
Optional floor stands are also available.
Please contact your dealer.
Left and Right Front Channels
For left and right front channels, place one satellite to the
left and another to the right of the television, as shown in
Figure 1. Since the speakers are magnetically shielded,
you can place them close to a CRT TV without worrying
about the magnetic field distorting the picture.
Surround Channels
For left and right surround channels, place one speaker
on the left and another on the right, to the side of or
slightly behind the listening area. The surround speakers
should ideally be mounted at a height of between 4 feet
and 7 feet.
In 6- or 7-channel configurations, place the rear channel(s)
behind the listening position, as shown in Figure 2.
Installation
Please 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 simplify
the installation and connections of the Revel Concerta
M10 loudspeakers.
Before proceeding, you should decide how you would like
to install the M10 loudspeakers. They may be mounted on
the included tabletop/shelf stands, mounted on the wall
using the included wall bracket, or mounted to the
optional floor stands.

Step One
Choose one of the three shelf stands on which to mount
the satellite. If you decide to place the stand next to a
television, the television’s height should be taken into
consideration. If you choose the shortest stand, follow
steps two to four on page 6. If you choose either of the
taller stands, follow steps two to five on page 7.

Wall-Mounting the M10
Using the Included Wall Bracket
The customer is responsible
for the proper selection and
use of mounting hardware,
and for correctly and safely
wall-mounting the speakers.
Step One
Remove the wall-bracket cover
by removing the four wall
bracket screws on the ends,
as shown.
Step Two
Run the speaker wire behind
the wall bracket and out
through the hole at the
bottom. After deciding where
to place the satellite speaker,
attach the wall bracket (in a
vertical position) to the wall,
using the appropriate screws
and anchors.
Step Three
Run the speaker wires out
through the bottom hole of the
wall bracket cover. Resecure
in place, as shown, with four
of the wall bracket screws.
Step Four
Using the included Allen wrench, remove the bottom end
cap of the speaker by unscrewing the single center screw
on bottom.
Note: The bottom is the end closest to the
Revel logo on the front grille and the speaker
connections on the rear.
Step Five
Connect the wires (see page 9).
Replace the end caps while
capturing the wall bracket in
between parts A and B and
securing it in place.
Tighten until snug.

Step Six
The wall-bracket design allows for rotation of the speakers
at angles up to 30º of center. Position the speakers so that
they face toward the primary listening position, before
fully tightening.
Wiring the Speaker
After 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 amplifier
or receiver, for connection and operation procedures.
Surround Modes
When using the system in a Dolby®Digital or DTS®home
theater system, make sure the receiver or processor is
set to “Small” for all M10 loudspeakers.
Some receivers/processors offer a choice of crossover
frequencies. Select 110Hz as the crossover frequency
for all M10 loudspeakers in the system.
Some Dolby Digital-equipped receivers/processors offer
different setup options for each source or surround
mode, e.g., CD-stereo, DVD, Dolby, Pro Logic®. In each
case, follow your equipment’s instructions to ensure that
the subwoofer output is turned on and that the speakers
are set to “Small” or to a crossover frequency of 110Hz
in each mode.
Wiring and Polarity
The M10 speaker has gold-plated terminals that can
accept bare wire.To ensure proper polarity, connect
each + terminal on the back of the amplifier or receiver
to the respective + (red) terminal on each speaker, as
shown in Figure 3. Connect the – (black) terminals in
a similar way. See the owner’s manuals that were
included with your amplifier or receiver to confirm
connection procedures.
Figure 3: This example shows how to connect bare
wires to the terminals. Banana plugs may also be
inserted 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 will
degrade the imaging and bass response of the
home theater system.
After correctly placing and wiring the M10 and the rest
of your speaker system, adjust the levels for all of the
channels as recommended by the manufacturer of your
receiver/processor.
Maintenance
and Service
When needed, use a soft cloth to remove any fingerprints
or to wipe off dust. Do not use any cleaning products or
polish. 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.
