Dear Friend and Valued Customer Dear REL Owner, Thank you for the purchase of your new SerieHT, a new direction in the evolution of subwoofers for REL. You see, for more than a quarter century, REL have built the most remarkable dual-purpose powered subwoofers; we call them Sub Bass Systems. Subs capable of rendering music at an unimaginably high level, yet also able to pound out powerful theater when called upon to do so.

Connecting Up Always switch off your system before disconnecting any wires. To simplify and to increase the versatility and of connecting, the SerieHT models have two low-level RCA inputs. This is to facilitate ability use with both AV surround sound systems, two-channel stereo systems and powered speakers. Low-Level Inputs .1/LFE Input There is a single RCA jack labeled .1/LFE for LFE connection to a processor. Plug one end of the RCA to RCA cable into the .
REL Set-Up Made Simple With the REL SerieHT, there are two basic ways to connect and setup. The first is a single channel input from the sub out of a theater or power speaker system. In this case a single RCA cable is need and the CROSSIVER control can be set to LFE since the source will have an internal upper frequency limit. The second is a stereo input from a stereo preamp or powered speaker system.
Stereo connection (Powered Speaker connection) Connect RCA from output to right input for mono or both left and right for stereo. • Adjust LEVEL control to 10 o’clock. • Adjust CROSSOVER control to 10 o’clock. • Plug in AC cord. • Power on with switch next to AC input. • Set toggle below STATUS light to ON. • Fine tune LEVEL control to blend with powered speakers. • Fine tune CROSSOVER control to blend.
Crossover and Level Settings: To determine the crossover point, take the volume of the REL (using the Level control) all the way down, and put the crossover to 10 o’clock. At this point, bring the REL’s volume back up slowly to the point where you have achieved a subtle balance, i.e. the point at which you can just hear the SerieHT even with the main speakers playing. First, bring the crossover point up until it is obviously too high; now gently reduce frequency to the appropriate setting.
Technical The SerieHT employs an advanced filter circuit which provides exceptional performance when coupled to the rest of the signal chain of the Sub-Bass System. The amplifier is inherently stable and will retain its characteristics over very long periods of time – important in a unit designed for an exceptionally long working life. These amplifiers are designed to withstand reasonable abuse and overloads. If in doubt, please contact your dealer.
Power Saving Efficiency All REL sub bass system designs utilize a true Power 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 Power On-Off switch on the rear panel it draws ZERO power. In addition to the power switch there is an OFF/ON/AUTO mode switch has three positions. Far left is OFF, middle is ALWAYS ON and far right is AUTO.
