Page 12: Connecting Up
REL Acoustics ‘Q’ range User manual CONNECTING UP Always switch off your system before disconnecting any wires To increase the versatility of connecting up, the “Q” range has two separate inputs. A Neutrik Speakon socket and a pair of phono sockets. (single phono socket on Quake and Q108). As mentioned, this is to facilitate use with both two channel stereo systems and AV surround sound systems. -

REL Acoustics ‘Q’ range User manual To connect to the power amplifier using the UNBALANCED Neutrik 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 anti-clockwise (counter-clockwise in the US) quarter turn and withdraw. -

Page 16: Rel Set-Up Made Simple
REL Acoustics ‘Q’ range User manual REL Set-Up Made Simple REL products are not traditional subwoofers, but true sub-bass systems. A REL is designed to augment the performance of “full range” speaker systems, to provide linear response down to below 12 Hz (Studio III, -6 dB down at 9 Hz). - Page 17 This process simply orients the driver, and port, to most efficiently vent into the room. In some instances there may be little difference, at which point aesthetic concerns may override performance concerns. For Q series, if possible, point the driver directly out of the corner, equidistant from the side walls.
- Page 18 REL Acoustics ‘Q’ range User manual Note: As the Q-series crossover adjustment uses a single variable control, use the closest correlating position to any of the crossover settings noted above for ST series models. Ultimately, as with the click stops of the ST range, simply bring gain and then crossover up until excess output is achieved, then back down a soft-click or two.
-
Page 19: Rel Set-Up Made Simpler
For Q series, use the variable controls in much the same way, slowly turning up both gain and crossover until excess output is realised, then back down a soft-click or two. -
Page 20: Running In
REL Acoustics ‘Q’ range 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 21: Technical
REL Acoustics ‘Q’ range User manual TECHNICAL The ground switch (if fitted) provides a physical mains earth connection to the Sub Bass System if required. When the unit is connected up and switched on, listen for any ‘hum’ from it, if ‘hum’ is present then change the ground switch position from in to out (on to off for US market) or vice versa. -
