FCC STATEMENT This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. - Page 6 Wireless Freedom with Zero Compression: Longbow™ Once our team achieved the high standards for performance our customers expect of all REL subwoofers, we turned our attention to connectivity methods. In addition to our comprehensive array of hard-wired inputs, Serie S benefits from the finest sounding, most natural wireless system available at this time.
- Page 7 instantly transform to a powerhouse with LFE when watching movies. This feature requires no switching, but instead is a seamless benefit to doing things the REL way. This feature provides real benefit if you wish to play music in stereo mode in the purist audiophile way and also in REL Theatre Reference mode with no switching necessary.
- Page 8 PAGE BREAK 1 Volume Control for HI/LOW Level input: Use to adjust output when using either HI Level or LOW Level input. Do not use both simultaneously. 2 Volume Control for .1/LFE Input: Use to adjust output level when using .1/LFE input from a 5.1 amplifier or processor.
- Page 9 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.
- Page 10 amplifier. The easy and foolproof connection at the REL is done 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 High Level input on the REL from the amplifier, you build forward the sonic signature of your main system, including the tonal balance and timing cues of the entire electronics chain.
- Page 11 • If connecting a REL as a dedicated rear channel sub, connect the black wire of the REL to either the left rear or right rear negative speaker terminal; connect the yellow wire to the left rear positive speaker terminal; connect the red wire to the right rear positive speaker terminal. If the amplifier is of balanced differential design, please follow the instructions in the section above labeled Differential Connection.
- Page 12 5 Orientation: Once the position from the corner has been established, the orientation of the woofer must be determined by rotating the REL from an imagined centre point at the rear of the REL. As the REL is moved from one side to the other listen for the greatest level of output and bass linearity.
- Page 13 PAGE BREAK Technical The Serie S models use an unusual method of bass loading. They are designed to operate below normal system resonance. This has been achieved without the normal form of bass boost or electronic equalization. Instead of a constantly increasing bass equalization response, we simply ensure there is sufficient amplifier gain to drive the speaker unit to its maximum excursion level at whatever the designated lowest operating frequency is, and then cut the bass at a controlled rate of 12dB per octave above this frequency.
- Page 14 Power Saving Efficiency: All REL sub bass system designs utilize a true On-Off switch that affords the owner the ability to turn off their unit completely, without having to unplug the A/C mains cord. When a REL sub bass system is switched off using the On-Off switch on the rear panel it draws ZERO power.
- Page 15 During initial setup, use the REL this way. If you are using a REL Longbow™ transmitter for initial setup, the wireless switch must be enabled, please follow instructions for pairing included in the REL Longbow™ transmitter manual.
- Page 16 After initial setup, if you wish to employ the standby mode, simply move the power mode switch into the up position to “STANDBY”. Model Power Draw at Power Draw at Power Draw at Idle Standby Standby w/ wireless > 0.5 Watts >...
