Revival Audio Announces Atalante 4 Floorstanding Loudspeakers
The Atalante 4 joins the Revival Audio series which debuted in 2022, adding a 3-way floorstanding tower to the range.
Revival Audio's Atalante 4 is a 3-way, 1200 mm x 345 mm x 395 mm (HxWxD) loudspeaker the French company says will "redefine performance perfection" while completing the Atalante range.
We are told that Atalante 4 best suits rooms of around 30 to 50 m2, with the typically chic cabinets housing the company's own 28mm RASC soft-dome tweeter, 13.5 (5¼-inch) BSC (Basalt Sandwich Construction) midrange driver and a pair of 18cm (7-inch) BSC woofers with the "hand-tuned" crossover featuring Van den Hul Skyline Hybrid cables allocating duties at 550Hz and 3.0kHz.
The spec sheet lists a claimed frequency response (+/-3db) of 38Hz – 26kHz (-3dB). The Atalante 4's (2.83V/1m) 89dB/2.83V/1 metre sensitivity and 4ohm nominal impedance have Revival stating that anything from a 30W amplifier should suit these towers, adding that the new floorstanders will handle up to 200W of power output.
Revival Audio's 28mm domed tweeter is featured in the manufacturer's other models and is coated in a "secret recipe. " It also boasts Revival Audio's ARID (Anti Reflection Inner Dome) patented damping tech, which is said to absorb 95+% of resonance in the large back chamber, which, we're told, has a low resonance frequency of 650Hz.
Meanwhile, the BSC mid and woofers are proudly declared to be " the first ever in high-end" and feature "unique and iconic (visually too) technology." Basalt is extracted from lava stone, and we are assured that it shares characteristics similar to glass fibre but sports a better Young modulus.
Finally, Revival Audio uses oversized ferrite magnets for its drivers, claiming they are more eco-friendly and offer a "real balanced output."
The Revival Audio Atalante 4 is available to order now, priced at AUD $7,700, with stock landing at the end of the month. As with all Revival Audio products, they come with a 10 year warranty.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
