Flagship Revel PerformaBe Center-Channel Performance in High-Gloss Black
The Revel C426Be 3-Way Quadruple 6.5" Center Channel Loudspeaker in Black is engineered to anchor a reference-level multichannel system with exceptional dialogue intelligibility, effortless dynamics and seamless tonal integration. Its sophisticated three-way architecture combines four 6.5-inch Deep Ceramic Composite woofers, a dedicated 5.25-inch DCC midrange and a 1-inch pure beryllium tweeter to reproduce dialogue, vocals, effects and music with precision at both moderate and cinema-level playback volumes.
The C426Be incorporates technologies developed for Revel's PerformaBe series, including a 5th-generation Acoustic Lens waveguide, high-order crossover networks and a heavily braced curved enclosure. Dual rear-firing ports extend low-frequency capability, while adjustable feet allow the cabinet to be aimed toward the listening position when installed above or below a display. Its premium High-Gloss Black finish gives the speaker a clean, contemporary appearance suited to sophisticated home theater and media-room installations.
Highlights & Benefits

Pure Beryllium Tweeter — The 1-inch beryllium dome combines extremely low moving mass with exceptional rigidity for extended treble response, fine detail and wide dynamic capability.
-
Dedicated 5.25-Inch Midrange — A separate DCC midrange driver focuses on the critical vocal region for natural dialogue and seamless integration with the tweeter and woofers.
-
Wide, Consistent Listening Area — Revel's 5th-generation Acoustic Lens waveguide matches tweeter dispersion to the midrange driver for consistent tonal balance across multiple seating positions.

Premium High-Gloss Black Finish — The polished black cabinet provides an elegant, understated appearance that coordinates easily with displays, electronics and modern theater interiors.
Technology & Design
Pure Beryllium Tweeter — The Revel C426Be uses a 25mm pure beryllium dome whose combination of low mass and high stiffness allows controlled piston-like behavior to extremely high frequencies. This contributes to fast transient response, excellent detail retrieval and exceptionally low distortion.
5th-Generation Acoustic Lens Waveguide — Revel's precision waveguide controls tweeter dispersion through the crossover region so it more closely matches the radiation pattern of the midrange driver. This produces smoother off-axis response and more consistent sound for listeners seated away from the center position.
Deep Ceramic Composite Drivers — The midrange and woofer diaphragms begin with aluminum cones that undergo a plasma electrolytic oxidation process, creating a ceramic layer on both surfaces. This increases stiffness and damping while reducing resonances that can color vocals, music and effects.
High-Order Crossover Network — Carefully selected film capacitors and air-core inductors are used in sophisticated crossover networks engineered to minimize distortion and dynamic compression. Dual sets of gold-plated binding posts support conventional single-wiring as well as bi-wire and compatible bi-amplified configurations.
