Always switch o your system before disconnecng any wires.
To increase the versality of connecng up, the 212/SX models have three separate inputs. A high level
input socket, a .1/LFE input consisng of both RCA and XLR connectors, and a low level input that includes
two RCA sockets for stereo input. This is to facilitate use with both two-channel stereo systems and AV
surround sound systems.
The high level, unbalanced, dual-channel (stereo) input is via a Neutrik® Speakon® connector is designed to
accept the stereo (two-channel) signals from the speaker terminals of your receiver, integrated amplier or
basic amplier. This has the advantage of ensuring that your subwoofer receives exactly the same signal as
the main speakers, which means that the character of the bass from the main system is carried forward into
the Sub-Bass System.
This is a very important point and together with REL’s Natural RollO™ circuitry, ensures far superior system
integraon of the Sub-Bass System with the main system.
To engage the Neutrik® Speakon® plug, insert fully into socket and rotate clockwise unl locked.
To remove the Neutrik® Speakon® plug, grip body of plug, place thumb on chrome lever, move lever
backwards, rotate plug anclockwise quarter turn and withdraw.
There are two RCA sockets for low level connecon to the output of a stereo preamplier or receiver.
Another single RCA socket connects to the .1/LFE output of a home cinema processor.
HIGH LEVEL and .1/LFE inputs can be used simultaneously. The benets are two-fold when used with a
home cinema processor. The low level input reproduces the .1/LFE channel and the high level connecon
underpins the main front speakers. The main front speakers should be set to the ‘large’ opon on the
processor. See “Theatre Applicaons” (page 23) for more informaon.
