S100 connector panel, rear
1 Power in socket [Mains]
The input voltage of this power supply unit may range from 100 to 240 VAC / 50-60 Hz.
2 Subwoofer output [Sub OUT]*
Connector sockets (RCA, mono) for wired active subwoofers which can be used as an alternative to the STUDIOART B100
wireless subwoofer. Only the volume and crossover frequency should be adjusted on a wired subwoofer. The phase regulator, if
there is one, should be set to 0°, as the STUDIOART app can be used to precisely configure the distance between the subwoofer
and listener in 10 cm steps. The crossover frequency can be adjusted by ear. Note: the lower -3 dB point of the audiobar is at 44
Hz.
3 Analogue input [Aux IN]
Connector sockets (RCA, Stereo) for analogue signal sources such as tuners, audio tape devices, or reel-to-reel tape decks. The
Revox STUDIOMASTER T700 turntable with integrated high-end phono amplifier can also be connected here.
For mobile devices with a low output level, there is a special adjustment option in the STUDIOART app. You will find a detailed
description in the chapter STUDIOART App of this operating manual.
Take note: Sensitive input with automatic switch-on/switchover
The analogue input is equipped with a signal detector which automatically switches on the audiobar as soon as a music signal is
present.
Note: The automatic switch-on is level-dependent; i.e. if the signal level is very low, it may be the case that the audiobar is not
switched on or turns off too soon. If necessary, increase the output signal of the source while also lowering the volume of the
audiobar.
4 Digital coaxial input [Coaxial IN]
Connector socket (RCA, mono) for digital signal sources such as CD players or satellite receivers.
Supported formats: Bitstream/ PCM/ SPDIFF up to 192 kHz/ 24 bit

6 LAN port [Network]
If it is not possible to operate the S100 audiobar on a stable WiFi network, the S100 can also be connected to a router or switch
using a patch cable.
Important:
As soon as aSTUDIOART device (in this case the audiobar) is connected to the LAN, all other STUDIOART speakers must also be
connected to the LAN. Mixed operation with both LAN and WiFi is not possible.
7 USB port [Service]
USB Type A port for software updates independent of an internet connection.
8 TV connection [TV ARC]
HDMI connection to TV set. This HDMI connection supports the ARC feature (ARC = Audio Return Channel for TV). In TV mode,
this allows the sound of the TV set to be played back and the video to be forwarded to the TV set which comes from one of the
3 HDMI inputs of the audiobar. HDMI version 2.0 with 4K support.
Furthermore, CEC commands (Consumer Electronics Control) are exchanged between the TV set and audiobar. This allows e.g.
the volume of the audiobar to be adjusted using the remote control of the TV set or the TV set and audiobar to be placed in
standby mode simultaneously at the press of a single button.
Note: Not all CEC standards of the individual HDMI versions are mutually compatible. Devices with HDMI standard 1.4 or
lower often exhibit CEC incompatibilities. In such cases, simply deactivate CEC control and manually select the HDMI
input on the audiobar.
9 HDMI input 1-3 [HDMI]
HDMI input for video devices with HDMI output, e.g. BluRay players or game consoles. The video signal is forwarded to the TV
output (TV ARC), while the audio signal is played back by the audiobar. HDMI version 2.0 with 4K support.

Commissioning
This operating manual is subdivided into 4 main chapters:
1. Installation and mounting of the audiobar
2. Integrating the S100 audiobar into the home network via WiFi/LAN
3. Connecting and expanding the S100 audiobar wirelessly (pairing) with other STUDIOART products for your home theatre
4. The basic features of the STUDIOART app
Installation and mounting
The audiobar has been designed to ensure you receive an optimal acoustic experience both when watching TV as well as
listening to music. Place the audiobar under the TV set, in the middle. The distance between the listener and the audiobar
should be at least 2 m.
The audiobar has 4 predefined sound modes which allow for optimal results depending on the positioning of the audiobar. To
achieve this, reflecting surfaces and distances to the wall behind the audiobar are taken into account.
With the aid of the OSD menu of the audiobar, you can define the configuration variant which applies to you. You will find the
menu option "Position S100" in the basic settings/section.
Mounted on wall* Wall side of TV bench Edge of TV bench Freestanding
*A wall bracket comes included with the audiobar
Note: Integrating the audiobar into furniture for audio equipment
When integrating the audiobar into furniture for audio equipment, ensure that there is a gap of at least 5 cm to the
right and left of the audiobar, as this is where the reflex openings are located. Furthermore, it is a good idea to slant
the audiobar slightly if the installation location is located just a few centimetres above the ground. This allows sound
waves to reach the ear better.
STUDIOARTTV pedestal
If it is difficult to mount the TV on the wall, e.g. due to the structural stability of the wall, Revox offers a large STUDIOART
pedestal for TV sets measuring up to 65" into which the S100 audiobar is also integrated. In this case, the screen "floats" several
centimetres above the audiobar, and can be optimally aligned to it. No drilling into the wall or furniture is necessary to use the
pedestal.

Installation in a room
The audiobar is designed as a 3.1 system so that you can enjoy excellent music and film playback without requiring any
extensions. A full-range phase-linear speaker with its own power amplifier is used in each case for the left, right, and centre
channels. The full-range speakers are supported by 4 bass drivers, each of which has its own power amplifier. With these 7
speakers, your STUDIOART device is able to produce impressive audio for large rooms of up to 50m² –at levels of up to 100 dB
at a distance of one metre.
Solo mode
The diagram below shows a classic configuration of the audiobar in front of the TV set. The audiobar should be set up centrally
with reference to the listening position so that the sound is evenly distributed.

5.1 Home theatre mode
Rear surround speakers
Thanks to a built-in KleerNet wireless system, the S100 audiobar can easily be expanded to create a 5.1 home theatre system.
To do so, a STUDIOART A100 is placed on the left and right sides respectively at the rear to function as surround speakers.
When a 5.1 audio format is played back, these effect speakers provide support for the audiobar by outputting sound effects that
offer the listener an impressive 360° listening experience. The A100 speakers should be aligned towards the listener's position.
After pairing the speakers, the STUDIOART app can be used to configure the distance to the listener as well as the base volume
level.
External subwoofers
For additional deep bass support, a STUDIOART B100 can be used. Extremely low frequencies, such as those emitted by the
B100, can barely be localised by the human ear. The goal is to integrate the B100 such that it is not perceived in the foreground,
but instead positively expands the overall audio experience where deeper frequencies are concerned.
In order to achieve this, Revox recommends observing the following points:
From experience, a more homogeneous audio experience is achieved when the subwoofer is placed in the area round the
audiobar.
Placing it in a corner of the room can lead to an undesirable exaggeration of individual low bass frequencies. The closer the
B100 is placed to a wall or corner of a room, the more forceful the low frequencies emitted will be. A larger distance shifts
the low frequencies emitted towards a "lean and dry" bass.
The STUDIOART B100 does not require any line of sight to the listener ('s position).
The volume and phasing of the low frequency behaviour can be fine-tuned with the help of the STUDIOART app once a good
installation location has been found.
Every STUDIOART speaker (client), i.e. A100 or B100, only requires a 100 –240 V mains supply (plugged into a wall socket). The
individual STUDIOART speakers communicate with each other via their own, uncompressed wireless network (KleerNet™). Due
to the low transmission power, this wireless network is only designed for connections within a room.
Pairing: Please refer to chapter 3 for how to wirelessly connect (pair) the rear STUDIOART effect speakers (A100) or the
STUDIOART subwoofer (B100) with the audiobar.
Take note:
If STUDIOART A100s are being used as surround speakers, the volume and play/pause function can be used to control the
audiobar, thereby allowing for convenient, manual operation without a remote control or app.
