Always switch o your system before disconnecng any wires.
To simplify and to increase the versality and of connecng, the SerieHT models have two low-level RCA
inputs. This is to facilitate ability use with both AV surround sound systems, two-channel stereo systems and
powered speakers.
Low-Level Inputs
.1/LFE Input
There is a single RCA jack labeled .1/LFE for LFE connecon to a processor. Plug one end of the RCA to RCA
cable into the .1/LFE jack of the REL and the other end into the SUB OUT Jack of your processor.
The dual RCA jacks can be used for stereo low-level connecon to the output a stereo processor source or
powered speakers. When using stereo inputs, plug one end of the RCA to RCA cables into both of the LOW
LEVEL INPUT jacks of the REL and the other end into the le and right channel output of your preamplier.
The upper frequency amplicaon of these inputs can be limited using the CROSSOVER control. This
CROSSOVER control is labeled LFE at its maximum set point which indicates this should be the seng when
the source itself is frequency limited such as a SUB OUT connecon from a processor.
Phase Switch
The phase control on a REL has two posions, 0 and 180. One of these posions will set the REL in phase
with the speakers, and one will set it out of phase. The labels 0 and 180 are just labels and tell us nothing
about the rest of the system, only if the REL is working with the speakers or not. Whichever posion results
in the loudest and fullest sub bass, is the correct posion.
We want the REL to work in harmony with the speakers, reinforcing bass, not cancelling it. In other words,
we want the drivers in the speakers and the REL to move forward at the same me and move backward at
the same me. When this happens, it results in an increase in sub bass volume and the pressurizaon in the
room and they are in phase. The opposite is if the speakers and REL are working against each other causing
cancelaon of low bass. We call this out of phase.
