Operation Manual

Always switch oﬀ your system before disconnecng any wires.

ALWAYS connect using the REL HIGHLEVEL input, unless your system simply cannot accommodate this.

While rare, a few esoteric systems, such as those that deliver a pure digital signal to acve speakers preclude

this possibility. To increase the versality of connecng up, the Serie T models have three separate inputs. A

Neutrik Speakon socket and two phono sockets. 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 which is connected

to the power ampliﬁer’s le and right channel speaker terminals. This has the advantage of ensuring that the

REL receives exactly the same signal as the main speakers. This means that the character of the bass from the

main system is carried forward into the sub-bass. This is a very important point and together with the REL’s

Acve Bass Controller (ABC) ensures far superior system integraon of the sub-bass with the main system.

The LOWLEVEL input is via a phono jack that connects to either the .1/LFE output of a home cinema

ampliﬁer/processor or to the output of a stereo preampliﬁer.

HIGH-LEVEL and .1/LFE inputs can be used simultaneously. The beneﬁts are two-fold when used with a

home cinema system. The .1 Input reproduces the .1/LFE channel and the HIGHLEVEL connecon underpins

the main front speakers. The main front speakers should be set to the ‘large’ opon on the processor. See

“Home Cinema Applicaons” for more informaon.

Connecting to the Power Ampliﬁer Using the Speakon HIGH LEVEL INPUT

To engage the Neutrik Speakon plug, insert fully into socket and rotate clockwise unl locked.

To remove the Neutrik Speakon plug, grip body of plug, place thumb on chrome lever, move lever backwards,

rotate plug anclockwise quarter turn and withdraw.

The HIGHLEVEL input is designed to accept the stereo (two-channel) signals from the speaker terminals of

your receiver, integrated ampliﬁer or basic ampliﬁer. 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
