WELCOME Thank you for buying the REL Strata Sub-Woofer. We hope that it will give you many years of pleasure. We have taken a lot of care over its design and, to get the maximum benefit from your Strata, we strongly recommend that you read this manual carefully prior to use. WARRANTY Strata is covered by a two year warranty (United Kingdom mainland only). This warranty covers both parts and labour. Obviously, physical and electrical abuse or misuse is not covered by the warranty.
SETTING UP AND RUNNING-IN SETTING UP Initially, test the action of the controls with the Strata sited in any convenient position in your listening room. Turn the two filter controls fully clockwise (maximum bandwidth). Play some music with a known bass content, and then adjsut the gain control for similar sound levels from your main system and your sub-woofer. Now reduce both of the filters to the minimum position. Notice that the level of the bass has almost disappeared.
CARE OF YOUR STRATA The high quality finish of Strata is easily cared for by the occasional wipe over with a damp cloth. Alternatively, a soft bristled brush may be used to sweep off any dust which falls on the surface. If objects are placed upon the top of the unit, it is advisable to use a small mat to protect the surface and to avoid the risk of any rattles. Everything about Strata has been designed and engineered to last a lifetime. DO'S AND DON'TS 1. Always protect the sub-woofer from getting wet. 2.
ACTIVE BASS CONTROLLER SWITCH VERSUS CROSSOVER FREQUENCY These settings determine the commencement of the upper frequency limit of the sub-woofer. The lowest operating frequency is totally unaffected by these switches. The four steps on the fine control are equal to one on the coarse.
