REVIVAL AUDIO SPRINT 3 AND SPRINT 4 BOOKSHELF AND FLOORSTANDING SPEAKERS
Revival Audio has announced the Revival Sprint Bookshelf and Floorstanding Loudspeakers with new Elytron Acoustic Baffle.
Revival Audio, the French loudspeaker company whose Atalante Five loudspeakers we reviewed recently, have added two new models.
REVIVAL AUDIO SPRINT LOUDSPEAKERS
Building upon the success of their Atalante speakers, Revival Audio’s Sprint range comprises the Sprint 3 2-way bookshelf speaker and Sprint 4 2.5-way floorstanding loudspeaker.
ELYTRON BAFFLE DESIGN
Both the Sprint 3 And Sprint 4 deliver a precise and balanced sound, thanks to featuring their innovative Elytron baffle design. Developed by Revival Audio’s in-house acoustic engineers, and based upon the internal organic structural layout of a beetle carapace, this lightweight, high-strength material has been designed with a unique asymmetric shape.
“I’ve been intrigued by the unique structure of Elytron and the acoustic benefits it could bring to loudspeakers for some time”, says Daniel Emonts, Revival Audio Co-Founder and CTO.
REVIVAL AUDIO SPRINT 3
The Revival Audio Sprint 3 is a 2-way bookshelf loudspeaker featuring a 28mm RASC soft-dome tweeter with built-in ARID (Anti Reflection Inner Dome) patented technology along with a specialized back-chamber design able to absorb 95+% resonances. Its BSC (Basalt Sandwich Construction) 7” woofer is both rigid and light-weight, offering a great damping construction.
The Revival Audio Sprint 3 is complimented by the Revival Audio Stand 3 (sold separately).

The Revival Audio Sprint 3 4 is a 2.5-way floorstanding loudspeaker featuring a 28mm RASC soft-dome tweeter with built-in ARID (Anti Reflection Inner Dome) patented technology along with a specialized back-chamber design able to absorb 95+% resonances. The two BSC (Basalt Sandwich Construction) 7” woofers provide a balanced rigid yet light-weight design, offering great damping. The 2.5-way crossover design on 4 maximises the performance of these two 7” BSC woofers,. The Sprint 4’s foot-spikes provide further stability.
