Modern French Elegance. Classic Minimalist Beauty.
Revival Audio believe that sound is a science and an art, which they took to the next level through SPRINT.
Just as with the ATALANTE line, the SPRINT affordable speaker range was developed in collaboration with A+A Cooren Design, a Le French Design 100 Award-winning French studio in Paris.
When conceptualising SPRINT, it didn’t take long to determine what they had to do. They wanted to build a speaker that embodied modern French elegance, coupled with classic aesthetic minimalism.
The ”ELYTRON” makes SPRINT incredibly unique, with its organic shape and concealed grille covers at the back. ELYTRON’s colour was specially selected to match all three SPRINT finishes – Walnut, Blonde Oak, and Matte Black.
Every minute detail and nuance was designed with purpose to create a visual and auditory experience like no other.
From the golden ratio of the cabinet to the special-picked vinyl, SPRINT was built to make listening a pleasure every single day.
ELYTRON Front Baffle
Directivity Control, Diffraction Optimisation
ELYTRON is the front baffle of SPRINT, with fabric grills attached from behind. The magnetic baffle can be either attached or removed from the cabinet with ease.
The asymmetric shape with specially set curvy angles enhances the high-frequency’s directivity as a waveguide (refer to the simulation below).
Also, it optimises the mid- to low-frequency performance by reducing the diffraction impact from the MDF cabinet. ELYTRON is made of high-rigidity compound materials to assure the stability of its performance under any listening scenarios.
With ELYTRON, the sound image is more precise and balanced, while minimising the impact from different listening environments.
RASC 28mm Soft-Dome Tweeter
Detailed Restitution, Beyond Expectations
RASC Tweeter is the iconic driver of Revival Audio. It is a 28mm soft-dome tweeter, coated with our secret recipe and built-in Revival Audio ARID+ (Anti Reflection Inner Dome) patented technology, to absorb 95+% of resonance in the chamber.
The ASYMMETRICAL SUSPENSION provides a more linear, resonance-free guiding of the dome to have a better dispersion, as waves travel freely to the side.
The oversize FERRITE MAGNET SYSTEM offers a high magnet force, and an efficiency of 91 dB can be comfortably reached.
Through BCD (BACK CHAMBER DAMPING) RESONANCE-FREE DESIGN, the structured rigid back cover with asymmetric rims is precisely simulated for the purpose of resonance absorption. It helps to get a low resonance frequency of 560 Hz.
BSC 7” woofer
First in Hi-End, Feel The Dynamics And Precise Punches!
The BSC (Basalt Sandwich Construction) woofer is definitely a Revival Audio unique and iconic (visually too) technology. Basalt is extracted from lava stone, which has never been used in hi-end audio, with similar characteristics to glass fibre but a better Young modulus. It is also an eco-sustainable material.
The sandwich construction consists of 3 layers: a specially defined felt sits inner applied to the back of the basalt membrane, and a specialised polymer glue lies between, which results in the best-possible damping.
With the BSC woofer, its lightweight and rigid design with excellent damping provides a fast and smooth response with tight bass dynamics.
CROSSOVER DESIGN
Built to Last
Revival Audio tunes the crossover by hand, by placing real components on one tuning board and measuring the results. When done, they listen (a lot) and fine-tune; after that, they check again and again.
The 2.5-way crossover design on SPRINT 4 maximises the performance of the 2 x 7” BSC woofers and results in a more accurate phase and extended low frequency. Not always a 2.5-way crossover is a better solution, only when it’s from Daniel Emonts with his 40-year expertise in crossover design.
“Measurements define good crossovers, but only craftsmanship and experiences build extraordinary ones” – Daniel Emonts, CTO, Revival Audio
