在Revel公司诞生之前,Harman公司已经同时拥有Lexicon、JBL、Mark Levison、Infinity等多个高级影音器材品牌,可以称得上是人才济济,但是对于这家全球最大的音响集团而言,他们必须将经营的层面进一步扩大才能在这个音响市场中更好地发展。在他们所拥有的品牌当中,Lexicon和JBL已经分别占据了绝大部分的专业音响市场;Infinity音箱和Harman/Kardon放大器则主攻中低端家庭影院市场,走普及化的路线;而Mark Levinson则主力发展Hi-End级的家用影音器材,但是却没有一款高端音箱能与Mark Levinson及Lexicon的器材组成一套高级音响系统,于是Harman集团便联同Madrigal音响实验室公司的创始人Sandy Berlin于1995年斥资组建了Revel公司,并利用自身强大的技术储备以及资金力量来研发和生产高端家用音箱,用以填补这个市场的空缺。而我第一次接触Revel的产品大约是在四五年前。当时,一对Revel Salon Studio音箱在Mark Levinson器材的推动下,声音中性、自然、像真度相当高,除了能完美地重现气势磅礴的交响乐之外,在重放单件乐器的录音时表现也相当出色,那种栩栩如生的声音结像力以及丰富的声音信息量确实让人折服。此外,这个系统虽然分析力很高,但是却又不会过分地刻意强调,声音的平衡度方面更是控制得恰到好处。而现在,Revel与Lexicon搭配的影院系统组合则又让我们感到了无限生机的多声道魅力。 Prior to the birth of Revel, Harman already had a number of advanced audio-visual equipment brands, including Lexicon, JBL, Mark Levison and Infinity, which were talented, but for the world’s largest audio group, they had to To further expand the level of management in this audio market to better develop. Among the brands they own, Lexicon and JBL already account for the majority of the professional audio market; Infinity Speakers and Harman / Kardon amplifiers focus on the low-end home theater market, and take the path of popularity; and Mark Levinson is the main force However, none of the high-end speakers built a premium audio system with equipment from Mark Levinson and Lexicon, so the Harman Group teamed up with Sandy Berlin, founder of Madrigal Sound Labs, in 1995 Revel invested in the formation of Revel company, and use its strong technical reserves and financial resources to develop and produce high-end home speakers, to fill the vacancies in this market. My first contact with Revel was about four or five years ago. At the time, a pair of Revel Salon Studio speakers, powered by Mark Levinson’s equipment, had a neutral, natural, high-fidelity sound and played a single piece of instrument recording in addition to the magnificent reproduction of the magnificent symphony When the performance is quite good, the kind of lifelike voice of the video and rich voice information indeed convincing. In addition, although this system is highly analytical, it does not excessively emphasize that the balance of sound is even more controlled. And now, the combination of Revel and Lexicon’s cinema system gives us the feeling of infinitely multi-channual charm.
