Page 12: Audio Connections
Audio Connections Analog Audio Connect the output from your line-level signal source to the XLR-3F INPUT connector on the rear panel. This is an electronically balanced input. Users must provide their own XLR cables. The two XLR-type connectors on the rear of each Redline series product, one female and one male, are designed for professional audio signal levels, nominally 0 dBu (= 0.775 V). -
Page 13: Operating Indicators
Up to four additional RL12 or RL15’s can be looped in this fashion. Use an AC loop connector to daisy-chain AC mains power from one enclosure to another. The maximum, continuous load must not exceed 12A for the 115V version and 6A for the 230V version. -
Page 14: Operating Limits
unacceptable overdrive in the system, reduce the input signal level or damage to the drivers is likely to occur. CAUTION: Electronic limiters cannot provide absolute protection against driver failure. Thus, if limiting is occurring, it is a warning that excessive signal levels are being approached. It is NOT an indication that the loudspeaker is successfully protecting itself. -

Onboard Processing/Voicing Voicing Options - RL12, RL15 RL15 and RL12 feature three distinct voicings to accommodate a wide range of applications. To select voicings, simply press the ‘Mode’ button on the back panel until the desired voicing is illuminated. Main Select the ‘Main’... -
Page 16: Voicing - Rl18S
Voicing - RL18S The RL18S subwoofer features three distinct voicings to accommodate a wide range of applications. To selection voicings, simply press the ‘Mode’ button until the desired voicing is illuminated. Normal mode provides maximum output performance. Cardioid mode provides low frequency cancellation behind an array of subwoofers and can reduce greatly unwanted low frequency energy from spilling onto a stage. -

Page 21: Rl18S Standard Cardioid Configurations
RL18S Standard Cardioid Configurations The RL18S features push-button cardioid functionality, allowing two or more RL18S subwoofers to be used together in a cardioid configuration. Cardioid functionality is possible in a number of different physical configurations, demonstrated below. These configurations can be scaled by adding equal numbers of front, and back facing subwoofers to achieve cardioid patterns with additional SPL output capabilities. -
Page 22: Other Cardioid Configurations
Rigging Redline RL12 and RL15 are intended to be suspended via integral rigging points, or ground-stacked. Redline RL18S is intended to be ground- stacked only. It is the user’s responsibility to determine the viability and safety for alternate methods and implement them accordingly. -
Page 23: Warnings
Warnings WARNING: Mounting or overhead suspension of any heavy load can result in serious injury and equipment damage. This work should be done by qualified persons following safe rigging practices in accordance with all applicable safety and construction standards. Such persons must determine the required load ratings and design factors. -
Page 24: Firmware Update Procedure
Redline series products are equipped with user upgradable firmware to accommodate future voicing and DSP updates. To update the firmware, please follow the instructions below. Firmware Update on RL12/RL15 1. Disconnect the unit from AC supply and disconnect all analog audio cabling. -
Page 25: Firmware Update - Rl18S
Firmware Update - RL18S The firmware update and amplifier removal procedure for the RL18S is identical to that of the RL12/15, with the exception of the Micro USB port, which is located on the side of the amplifier, rather than the top. -
