Revival Audio Atalante 4 Floorstanding Speakers (Pair)

A SENSATIONAL DESIGN STORY

At Revival Audio, we understand the importance of the relationship between art and sound. Set on stimulating more than auditory senses, our premium audio speakers are true sensory masterpieces. With the intention of designing a floor standing speaker that’s enjoyable on both the ears and eyes, the ATALANTE 4 was born. Through a carefully balanced fusion of French and Japanese styles, the ATALANTE 4 is as retro as it is regal, as contemporary as it is classic. Working closely in collaboration with A+A Cooren Design Studio, a Le French Design 100 Award-winning French studio in Paris, we’ve been able to bring this true chef-d’œuvre to life. At a glance, the belt & knot design immediately captures attention, adorned with the laser-etched Revival Audio logo. But what really pulls you in are the premium spike set, with easy-adjustment functionality, outlining the speaker with a Next-Level touch. Finally, the hand-picked walnut veneer and a two-piece grill make sure your eyes and ears never wander – Turning the ATALANTE 4 into a true piece of auditory art.

ENSURING SONIC OPULENCE

ATALANTE 4 is a 3-way model equipped with the 28mm soft-dome tweeter and its built-in Revival Audio ARID (Anti Reflection Inner Dome) patented technology, that can absorb 95+% of resonance in the chamber. Setting new standards for premium audio speakers, ATALANTE 4 introduces the industry-first BSC (Basalt Sandwich Construction) 5-inch midrange driver. Teaming up with two 7-inch BSC woofers, this premium speaker achieves a sublime balance between rigidity and lightweight construction, delivering supreme sound symmetry. Thanks to their exceptional damping construction, these drivers provide natural, swift, and smooth responses with remarkably tight bass dynamics.

The pièce de résistance of ATALANTE 4 lies in its Hand-Tuned Crossover – a culmination of decades of experience meticulously tuned by ear, and second to none. Enhancing the auditory experience, it incorporates the best-in-its-range components, including the prestigious Van den Hul Skyline Hybrid cables. As a finish touch, the Premium Spike Set, a novel design in the ATALANTE 4, not only enhances the speaker’s aesthetic but also ensures functional stability, enabling effortless micro-height adjustments. More than just a premium speaker, the ATALANTE 4 is a visceral audio and visual experience that takes listening to its next, best level. With its exceptional performance and unparalleled balance, this state-of-the-art floor standing speaker invites you to immerse yourself in a world where art and audio exist in equilibrium.

RASC™ 28mm TWEETER

• ASYMMETRIC DOME SUSPENSION
  • The asymmetrical suspension provides a more linear resonance-free guiding of the dome. A soft dome works as a piston in low frequencies (1 – 8kHz), above that, the centre of the dome stands still (at last should be, depends on the quality of the coating, both how it’s applied and the recipe) The more higher frequencies are reproduced the less the dome itself emits sound. At very high frequencies, only the area around the voice coil (on both the dome and suspension) emits sound. The custom shape of the suspension helps to have a better dispersion, as waves travel freely to the side
• RASC COATING RECIPE
  • After hundreds of hours of experiment, our very own coating recipe brings perfect break-up control and the most accurate, smooth sound reproduction.
• OUTPERFORMING LARGE FERRITE MAGNET SYSTEM
  • The large ferrite offers a high magnet force, similar to smaller neodymium magnets, but for a significantly lower cost (which helps us achieve to set a more attractive retail price). It is as well more eco-friendly using ferrite magnets. A comfortable efficiency of 91dB is reached with this system. Also, the large mass of ferrite and the metal part absorbs more heat from the voice coil and helps for better cooling.
• BCD (BACK CHAMBER DAMPING) RESONANCE-FREE DESIGN
  • Made from structured rigid plastic, the design of the asymmetric rims is precisely simulated for the purpose of resonance absorption. Through BCD, it helps to get a low resonance frequency of 560Hz.

BSC™ DRIVERS

• First-Ever In Hi-End Feel The Dynamics And Precise Punches!
  • BSC (Basalt Sandwich Construction) drivers are 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 as glass fibre but better Young modulus. It is also an eco-sustainable material. The Sandwich construction consists of a specific felt applied the back of the membrane and a specialized damping glue which results in the best-possible damping. With BSC drivers, the lightweight and rigidity with great damping provide a fast and smooth response with tight and clear dynamics.
• BASALT PROPERTIES
  • Basalt is mainly found on cooled-down lava or magma flow, which is a dark grey coloured so-called igneous stone and found in huge quantities all over the world. Transformed basalt fibres has interesting properties which makes it suitable for the use in loudspeaker diaphragm. Its Young modulus is also significantly stronger than glass fibre, and much stronger than Kevlar. We thus use it also for its sustainability, as it’s a non petrol-based material. Revival Audio cones are impregnated Basalt fibre fabrics, with a rather thick layer of glue at their back and covered with a layer of felt from special-made fibre, which constitutes a stiff but well damped cone, with a high sound velocity within the membrane.
• BASALT SANDWICH CONSTRUCTION
  • Basalt is unique in the world of high-end audio and has never been used before. It is extracted from lava stone, which exists naturally in abundance on earth, and doesn’t need to be produced from petrol: It is recyclable, and thus eco-friendly. In order to get the right damping within the membrane, we build the cone as a sandwich, made from a Basalt fibre fabric as the top layer, a polymer glue and a felt in the middle; and a specially customized foam-based cone as the bottom layer. As a result we get a membrane which is stiff, light, well damped and with a good speed of sound propagation.
• ASYMMETRIC OPEN-BASKET DESIGN
  • We made the most vented basket possible in order to maximise the open design benefits, simple is that!
• OUTPERFORMING LARGE FERRITE MAGNET SYSTEM
  • The large ferrite offers a high magnet force, similar to smaller neodymium magnets, but for a significantly lower price (which helps us achieve a more attractive retail price). It is also more eco-friendly using ferrite magnets. For example, a comfortable efficiency of 91dB is reached with the BSC woofers. Also, the large mass of ferrite and the metal part absorbs more heat from the voice coil and helps for better cooling.
