Revival Audio SPRINT 4

Punches Above Its Weight!!

SPRINT is so much more than an affordable speaker range. Based on almost four decades of expertise, SPRINT is the brainchild of some of the most innovative minds in the industry. We are amped to be bringing SPRINT onto the scene, reflecting our brand philosophy of taking listening to the next level.

Designed and engineered in the heart of France, at the award-winning Parisian A+A Cooren Design Studio, SPRINT boldly punches above its weight by doing so much more than any speaker you’ve seen before.

It’s just as beautiful as it is functional, slipping seamlessly into any living space or entertainment area. And beneath the surface, you’ll find the same cutting-edge acoustic tech and unbeatable sound that powered our immensely successful ATALANTE line. SPRINT is the next generation in the REVIVAL AUDIO family, carrying on the legacy in style.

A word from our CTO: 

“SPRINT is setting an unprecedented new standard in its category, in more ways than one. From design to performance, there’s nothing else like SPRINT out there.

I still remember the moment I personally attached the final version of the ELYTRON front baffle to the speaker. After hundreds upon hundreds of hours of simulation and testing, this was truly a momentous milestone. And from there, the sound was perfect. I couldn’t stop listening to the speakers crisp and flawless acoustics.

I couldn’t be more excited to be watching my concept for SPRINT become a reality, and I can’t wait to share the magic with the world.”

INSPIRING DESIGN STORIES

Modern French Elegance. Classic Minimalist Beauty.

The dictionary describes “sound” as “vibrations that travel through the air”. But to us, it’s so much more than that. We believe that sound is a science and an art, which we strived to take to the next level through SPRINT.

Just as with our 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 us long to determine what we had to do. We wanted to build a speaker that embodied modern French elegance, coupled with classic aesthetic minimalism. After many months of refinement and finessing, we are finally ready to bring SPRINT to the world.

The ”ELYTRON” makes SPRINT incredibly unique, with its organic shape and concealed grill 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.

KEY FEATURES

SPRINT’ing Miles Ahead!  A 100% Original Innovation

SPRINT 4, the 2.5-way floorstander inherits the ATALANTE line technologies.

SPRINT proudly inherits the same technology that powers our ATALANTE line, with a twist that makes it uniquely SPRINT. It features a 28mm RASC soft-dome tweeter and built-in ARID (Anti-Reflection Inner Dome) patented technology. With its specialised back-chamber design, this stylish speaker design is capable of absorbing over 95% of unwanted resonance within any space to elevate your listening experience, whether you’re reminiscing over your vintage vinyls or playing your favourite new playlists of the 21st century.

SPRINT also features two the high-end BSC (Basalt Sandwich Construction) 7” woofers, perfectly balancing out rigidity and lightweight design. With superior damping construction, SPRINT promises a rapid yet smooth response with impressively tight bass dynamics.

The ELYTRON front baffle is an original Revival Audio creation; a stylish speaker design developed through hundreds of hours of painstaking simulation. Such listening precision has never been seen before at its level, and won’t be seen again soon from any other manufacturer, unless they copy SPRINT. But that’s ok, because that’s our goal: To create new trends and technology in the speaker industry, with sound precision that must be heard to be believed.

ELYTRON Front Baffle

Directivity Control, Diffraction Optimisation

The ELYTRON is SPRINT’s front magnetic baffle, featuring fabric grills attached from behind. The magnetic baffle can be easily attached or removed from the cabinet with ease, elevating the aesthetics while improving the sound tenfold.

Elytron’s asymmetrical shape and specially set curvy angles enhance the high frequency’s directivity as a waveguide, which you can see in action by referring to the measurement below. This specific shape further optimises the mid to low frequency performance by reducing the MDF cabinet’s diffraction impact. 

With its high-rigidity compound material design, ELYTRON ensures stable and reliable performance and crystal-clear clarity in a wide range of settings. Enjoy more precise and balanced sound uninfluenced by external sounds of the world.

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 own 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 A efficiency of 91dB 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!

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 as glass fibre but a better Young modulus.  It is also an eco-sustainable material.

The Sandwich construction consists of 3 layers, a special-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 BSC woofer, its lightweight and rigidity with excellent damping provide a fast and smooth response with tight bass dynamics.

2.5-Way Crossover Design

Built to Last

At Revival Audio we tune the crossover by hand, by placing real components on one tuning board and measuring the results. When done, we listen (a lot) and fine-tune, after that, we check again with measurements that we went in the right direction.

The 2.5-way crossover design on SPRINT 4 maximizes 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”
