Revival Audio SPRINT 4 Floorstanding Speakers

Revival Audio SPRINT 4 Floorstanding Speakers

Punches Above Its Weight!
Say Hello to SPRINT!
Reimagining What A Speaker Can Do.

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 Revival Audio's immensely successful ATALANTE line. SPRINT is the next generation in the Revival Audio family, carrying on the legacy in style.

"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."

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.

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™ Tweeter

With decades of expertise, Revival Audio elevate standards to extraordinary heights with their custom 28mm (1 1/8") soft-dome RASC™ (Revival Audio Special Coating) tweeter, packed with patented, innovative and unique technologies.

After hundreds of hours of experiment, Revival Audio's very own coating recipe brings perfect break-up control and the most accurate, smooth sound reproduction.

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.

Patented ARID Technology

The patented ARID (Anti Resonance Inner Dome) technology is the critical component elevating the performance of Revival Audio tweeters and midrange drivers from outstanding to extraordinary.

ARID technology provides extended frequency response due to not requiring extra absorbing material in the space behind the dome.

The space behind the domes is large and causes standing waves which can alter the dome’s behaviour. The ARID is mounted in that space close to the acoustic dome so no standing wave can occur. The design of ARID makes the waves guided into the yoke to the back chamber, where it is properly absorbed.

Outperforming Large Ferrite Magnet System

The extra large ferrite magnet offers a high magnet force, similar to smaller neodymium magnets, but for a significantly lower cost. 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 which helps to get a low resonance frequency of 560Hz.

7-Inch BSC™ Woofers

The dual 7-inch BSC™ (Basalt Sandwich Construction) Woofers ensure exceptional low-frequency extension, precision, and impact, filling the room with effortless dynamics.

Basalt Sandwich Construction (BSC) 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 specialised 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.

Outperforming Large Ferrite Magnet System

The extra large ferrite magnet 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.

Hand-Tuned Crossover

A meticulously engineered network designed for seamless integration and pure musicality. Revival Audio use as few components as possible, but all that are needed.

2.5-way Crossover Design

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, is a 2.5-way crossover a better solution, but when it’s from Daniel Emonts with his 40-years of expertise in crossover design - it is!

About Revival Audio

The goal of the company is simple: To perfect true listening experiences through products of decades-accumulated craftsmanship, and value the listeners. Revival Audio offers only tier-1 technologies and products, simply because that’s the standard where they came from.

With Revival Audio, you will see that the brand did not want any “Gaudi” design that would inflate the cost of the product. Sound is their first priority, to be experienced without fatigue.

"We inherit the legacy, renovate the legacy, and together with all our listeners, build our Own Legacy."
