The sound and the fury – Revel’s new Ultima Rhythm2 powered subwoofer
The Revel Ultima Rhythm2 literally defines a new category for powered subwoofer performance by pairing 2,400 Watts RMS with a huge 18-inch woofer and a highly advanced, ultra-low distortion motor system.
Custom home systems integrators are about to be able to access the absolute pinnacle of home theater low-frequency power with the introduction today of the Revelâ Ultima Rhythm2ä powered subwoofer, which is already establishing a new category for powered subwoofers. The Revel Ultima Rhythm2 sets a new standard for powered subs at any price level. With its 18-inch, dual-voice coil woofer and dual ultra high-powered amplifiers that can generate 2,400 Watts RMS and an astounding 5,600 Watts at peak, the Ultima Rhythm2 can perform at astonishingly high output levels with any type of music or film sound program material with virtually no distortion. This extraordinarily low distortion and lack of dynamic compression artifacts make it the perfect complement for any high-end speakers in the world, easily matching their performance while reproducing low frequencies with both authority and nuance.
The Revel Ultima Rhythm2 can handle the massive amount of power that its two integrated amplifiers put out thanks to a combination of its huge 18-inch woofer with dual 4-inch diameter-by-1.75-inch-long voice coils and Neodymium motor systems with symmetrical magnetic fields and mirror-image design that cancel distortion, effortlessly allowing true, accurate low-frequency reproduction unencumbered by the servo feedback loop system that many subwoofers rely on. These are augmented by Revel’s self-protection circuitry, a sophisticated design that allows unprecedented dynamics while producing incredibly life-like bass.
“The Revel Ultima Rhythm2’s unique combination of brute force output capability and sophisticated circuitry and mechanical design make it a one-of-a-kind product that custom home systems integrators can use to help differentiate themselves and their clients’ home theaters,” observes Kevin Voecks, Market Director, Harman Performance AV Group. “The Ultima Rhythm2 reflects the Revel’s relentless dedication to pushing the edges of the envelope when it comes to high-end audio performance. These products don’t simply meet users’ expectations – they reset them higher.”
