REL Set-Up Made Simpler

Connecting

High-level connection, using the enclosed cable, is always the first choice. The standard high

level hook up procedure is: attach the red wire to the amplifier’s right positive speaker output

terminal; attach the yellow wire to the amplifier’s left positive speaker output terminal; attach

the black wire to which ever of the amplifier’s ground output terminals is convenient; plug the

connector into the “Hi Level” input. For connection to a differential amplifier consult your

dealer.

Positioning

Primary Placement, for a REL is in one of the corners behind the main speakers.

Phase Selection is the next step. Keep in mind; the correct phase is whichever position is the loudest

or fullest. While playing music with true low bass, adjust the crossover to a point where the sub and

the speaker are sure to share frequencies (B, 3 for big speakers or C, 4 for smaller speakers). At this

point adjust the gain so that both sub and speaker are roughly equal in output and then switch, using

the “mode selector” switch, from “0” (position 1) to “180” (position 3) phase positions. Again,

whichever position is loudest or fullest is the correct position, and, as often as not, may be 180-

degree phase (see enclosed “Control Panel” section from the owner’s manual).

Orientation. With phase correct, it is important to site the woofer in the corner by determining which

wall, the side or the rear, the REL’s amp should face. Flip the sub back and forth in the corner, and,

again as with phase, whichever position sounds the loudest is the correct orientation for the sub. For

Q series, if possible, point the driver directly out of the corner, equidistant from the side walls.

Final Position. The next step is to determine precisely how far out from the corner the sub should be

to achieve the most efficient output, as well as the lowest frequency extension. With the sub fully into

the corner, continuing to play the music, slowly pull the sub from the corner on the diagonal,

equidistant from both side and rear wall. At a certain point (sometimes a matter of only a few inches,

in rare cases a foot or more) the sub will audibly go lower, play louder, and, if it truly locks on to the

room and is fully pressurising it, the air around the sub will seem to be energised. Stop right there!

This is the correct position for the sub.

Adjusting

Crossover Selection. To determine the crossover point, bring the gain down, put the crossover to A-1

(or B-2 should output not be sufficient), and then bring the gain back up to the point where you have

achieved a subtle balance. Working only with the coarse control (A-D), bring the crossover point up

until it is obviously too high, at this point bring it down to the next lowest setting. Now, working with

the fine control (1-6), bring up the crossover point until it sounds too high, at which point bring it back

down to the next lowest setting. For all intents and purposes, this is the correct crossover point. Once

this stage has been reached, subtle changes to gain and crossover can be accomplished to provide

the last bit of complete and seamless integration. For Q series, use the variable controls in much the

same way, slowly turning up both gain and crossover until excess output is realised, then back down

a soft-click or two.

Including Theatre

Multi-channel systems LFE output should be connected to the low-level input and appropriate gain

adjustments made at this point. It may be necessary to take the crossover out of the low-level input

using the “mode” switch if extra upper bass output is called for. Keep phase consistent with what was

selected during high-level set-up by simply choosing the corresponding setting (1 = 2, 3 = 4). When

connecting to the low level inputs, connect a single RCA cable to the 0dB RCA jack. Should

additional gain be required, connect to the +12 dB input.
