ALWAYS connect using the REL HIGH-LEVEL input, unless your system simply cannot accommodate this.
While rare, a few systems, such as those that deliver a pure digital signal to active speakers, preclude the
use of REL High-Level input. To increase the versatility of connecting up, the REL Arrow™ Wireless Transmitter
has two separate inputs: A Neutrik Speakon socket and a phono socket. 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 left 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
ensures far superior system integration of the sub-bass with the main system.
Please use the REL HIGH-LEVEL cable supplied with your SerieT/i or similar REL sub bass system.
The .1/LFE input is via a phono jack that connects to either the .1/LFE output of a home cinema
amplifier/processor. An RCA plug to RCA plug cable is included with this REL Arrow™ for this purpose.
HIGH-LEVEL and .1/LFE inputs on the Arrow™ 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
connection underpins the main front speakers. The main front speakers should be set to the "large" option
on the processor. See "Home Cinema Applications" for more information.
Connecting to the Power Amplifier Using the Speakon HIGH-LEVEL INPUT
To engage the Neutrik Speakon plug, insert fully into socket and rotate clockwise until locked.
To remove the Neutrik Speakon plug, grip body of plug, place thumb on chrome lever, move lever backwards,
rotate plug anticlockwise 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
main system is carried forward into the Sub-Bass System. This is a very important point and together with
REL's Natural RollOff™ circuitry, ensures far superior system integration of the Sub-Bass System with the
main system.
