Operation Manual

When you have accomplished this task, plug all three units in and re-check your gain sengs as the
cumulave effect of hooking all three up will usually result in, temporarily, excessive output. Work carefully
and methodically to reduce the sengs on primary, then rear, and finally center channel RELs and in a few
minutes balance should be restored. However, the net result of all your tuning will be a sound that uerly
immerses the theater owner in a rich natural wash of bass that suffuses the room effortlessly, rather than
what is oen experienced as too loud a bass balance pushing uncomfortably at the listener.
Running In
Care taken over running in will be rewarded by many years of pleasurable use. Both the electronics and the
drive unit will benefit from an inial period of carefully controlled use. Possible damage may be sustained
by running in the unit at too high a volume seng over an extended period. On the other hand, by taking a
lile care over this inial period, about 24 hours of actual use, a longer life with an eventual higher potenal
performance is assured.
Care and Polishing
The cabinets are best maintained by using a light automove spray-on wax and a micro fiber cloth. (We use
a spray-on made by a company called Griot’s Garage™. While this may not be available in all markets, you
can use a similar product.) Take care not to spray the aluminum badges. Do not place objects, such as drinks
on top of your REL Serie T. Never use a dry cloth on this finish.
Technical
Serie T uses a very fast, gentle and transparent filter intended to allow excellent impulse response and a
natural sound. We refer to this circuit as Natural Rolloff™. Most subs use slow, very steep filters that lend
an unnatural, machine-like quality to the sound. The Serie T power amplifiers are convenonal Class A/B
linear power supply amplifiers – unusual at this price as most designs use a simple Class D amp. These
designs feature robust, high current power supplies and are bulletproof. Our priority is for the most reliable
circuit we know and we have logged millions of hours of playing me with a resultant failure rate that is the
envy of the industry. The drivers are simple, rugged, relavely light, and yet offer excellent self-damping so
we are beer able to reproduce the nuance of music and preserve the explosiveness of transients. Finally,
the cabinets, apart from being physically beauful, are like finely tuned instruments that are largely responsible
for the sonic virtue with which Serie T is imbued.
