Revel Performa3 B112V2 Subwoofer

A 12″ subwoofer with a 1,000 W amp setting a new standard for low-frequency detail, musicality, and refinement

The Revel Performa3 B112v2 is the newest generation of Revel’s popular and successful B112 subwoofer, outfitted with the latest advancements in acoustic science and technology. At the heart of the B112v2’s engineering is a new and improved woofer with 82% more linear excursion than the B112. The transducer’s 19.2 lb Klippel-optimized magnet assembly features a double-stacked ceramic 5 magnet with a flared vent for improved airflow. As a result, turbulence is reduced, output is increased, and distortion is minimized.

Additional cooling vents in the back plate increase power handling while reducing compression. The cast aluminum frame is fully vented to minimize acoustic losses from excessive back pressure. A 50mm two-layer copper voice coil wound on a high heat-tolerant fiberglass former gives the transducer significant range of travel.

The parametric EQ is now localized onboard, rather than software-based, for easy real-time adjustments. The elegant cabinet is formed with contiguous wood layers to prevent splitting. Strategically oriented internal bracing virtually eliminates unwanted cabinet vibration, and thereby coloration.

All Revel loudspeakers, including the B112v2, undergo double-blind, position-independent competitive tests during development, utiilizing the latest psychoacoustic research and processes.
