The Revel Performa F228Be’s is powered by a 1-inch beryllium tweeter driven by massive 85mm dual ceramic magnets. This amazing tweeter is mated to a 5th-generation ceramic-coated, cast-aluminum Acoustic Lens. The 5.25-inch midrange driver has been updated with a larger Deep Ceramic Composite (DCC) diaphragm, bigger voice coil and ceramic motor structure. Superior efficiency, superior dynamic range and increased power handling.

PerformaBe crossover networks utilize all film capacitors and air core inductors in the midrange and tweeter circuits.

THE BEAUTY OF BERYLLIUM
Beryllium – Element 4 on the Periodic Table – is a rare earth metal that is renowned for its remarkable physical properties that make it the ideal material for a high-frequency transducer. Compared to aluminum and titanium tweeter diaphragms, Beryllium offers 4.5 times the stiffness and three times more damping, and does so at only half of the weight.

ELEGANT DESIGN
F228Be top panels are artistically painted in metallic black with raised electroform badging. Available in a choice of four high-gloss finishes: Black, White, Walnut and Metallic Silver

“Classic Revel sonic virtues prevailed – unflagging dynamics, balanced tonality, and hair-raising bass response. This could be the class-leading speaker of the year.”
—Neil Gader, The Absolute Sound

“Across the audio band and at any listening level, they offered remarkably transparent reproduction of music in the total time, space, and spatial domains, and my ears, brain, and mind simply loved them.”
—Kalman Rubinson, Stereophile, Class A Recommended Component and 2019 Product of the Year

“Let the Revels begin: these wonderfully enjoyable speakers are able to conjure realistic scale and impact while conveying all the detail and flow of whatever’s being played. With effortless dynamics, fine integration and the ability to create excellent 3D soundstage images, they deserve very serious auditioning if you’re in the market at this level – and show a clean pair of heels to some more expensive rivals, too.”
—Andrew Everard, Hi-Fi News, Outstanding Product review

“All in all, the Revel F228Be is a speaker that can recreate soundstages of any size, place the instruments in the correct spot, and make them sound real. The balance of coherent integration of the drivers, dynamic power delivery, and wide dispersion window work together to make for a performance that does a very good job at reproducing a wide variety of music.”
—Brian Kahn, Home Theater Review, five-star review and Best of 2019 Award

“The Revel F228Be is very sure in itself, and it’s almost as if it challenges the listener to find ever more challenging source material. Great recordings are rewarded with a huge sonic soundscape with three-dimensional imagery, dynamic slam and incredible finesse and detail.”
—Mark Gusew, Stereonet
