Page 12: To Connect To Mono Block Power Amplifiers Using The High Level Neutrik Unbalanced Input
Using a single sub-bass system, connect as shown above. Connect RED to right monoblock speaker positive (red) terminal, connect YELLOW to left monoblock speaker positive (red) terminal. The BLACK should be connected to ground at the pre amplifier. If the pre amplifier does not have a dedicated ground terminal, then use one of the chassis screws at the rear of the pre amplifier. -

Page 14: Rel Set-Up Made Simple
The easy connection at the REL is completed with a Neutrik Speakon connector. The purpose of connecting to the speaker output terminals is one of the unique secrets of REL’s success. By connecting to the REL’s High Level input from the amplifier, you build forward the sonic signature of your main system, including the tonal balance and timing cues. - Page 15 While playing music with true low bass, adjust the crossover to a point where the sub and the speaker are sure to share frequencies (40Hz for big speakers or 60Hz for smaller speakers). At this point turn the gain so that both sub and speaker are roughly equal in volume and then, using the “Phase”...
- Page 16 REL Acoustics ST 5 User Manual Hint: There is a tendency among audiophiles to set the crossover point too high and the gain too low when first learning how to integrate a REL with the system, the fear being one of overwhelming the main speakers with bass.

REL Acoustics ST 5 User Manual 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 initial period of carefully controlled use. Possible damage may be sustained by running in the unit at too high a volume setting over an extended period. -
Page 18: Power Saving Efficiency
REL Acoustics ST 5 User Manual POWER SAVING EFFICIENCY All REL sub-bass systems are designed for maximum power efficiency, when operational and also when at rest. REL circuitry is designed for “power starvation” operation when no signal is present. However it remains at maximum readiness to respond immediately to a sudden transient signal, such as an explosion in a movie, even after an extended period of rest and at whatever level. -
