REVIVAL AUDIO ATALANTE GRANDE RÉSERVE STANDMOUNT LOUDSPEAKER LAUNCHED
French HiFi brand Revival Audio has announced the launch of the Revival Audio ATALANTE Grande Réserve, a new limited-edition standmount loudspeaker positioned as the flagship of its ATALANTE range.
Production has been limited to 300 pairs worldwide, with each pair individually numbered.
REVIVAL AUDIO ATALANTE GRANDE RÉSERVE
The Revival Audio ATALANTE Grande Réserve sits above the existing ATALANTE 7 Évo and is designed as a large-format standmount loudspeaker. It is intended for use with its dedicated matching stand, which forms part of the standard package. The design focuses on delivering full-range performance from a compact loudspeaker format suitable for medium to large listening rooms.
REVIVAL AUDIO ATALANTE GRANDE RÉSERVE DRIVER CONFIGURATION
The Revival Audio ATALANTE Grande Réserve is a three-way design featuring newly developed drive units. High frequencies are handled by a 28mm RASC™ Évo soft-dome tweeter, while a 75mm RASC™ Évo soft-dome midrange unit covers the critical vocal range. Both drivers incorporate updated ARID resonance-control technology. Bass is produced by a 300mm BSC™ (Basalt Sandwich Construction) Grande Réserve woofer, designed with extended linear excursion.
REVIVAL AUDIO ATALANTE GRANDE RÉSERVE CABINET AND BAFFLE
A defining feature of the Revival Audio ATALANTE Grande Réserve is its StrataBaffle™ multi-layer front baffle. This construction combines a thick outer wood layer with a high-density fibre core and structural backing, intended to increase rigidity and control resonance. The cabinet has been re-engineered with additional internal bracing and is finished in smoked oak.
REVIVAL AUDIO ATALANTE GRANDE RÉSERVE PORTING AND STAND DESIGN
Low-frequency loading is handled by a dual rear-ported AeroVex™ system, developed to manage airflow and reduce port noise. The Revival Audio ATALANTE Grande Réserve is supplied with a dedicated wooden stand, which incorporates a decoupling interface between speaker and stand, along with micro-adjustable spikes for levelling and isolation.
REVIVAL AUDIO ATALANTE GRANDE RÉSERVE CROSSOVER AND COMPONENTS
The crossover network used in the Revival Audio ATALANTE Grande Réserve is hand-tuned and employs Mundorf capacitors, WBT binding posts, and van den Hul Skyline internal wiring. According to Revival Audio, the crossover has been finalised using both measurement data and listening evaluation to ensure integration between the drivers.
