This should be at 20 clicks from the minimum setting (12 o’clock) on the Crossover control. While playing music with true low bass, adjust the crossover to a point where the REL and the speaker are sure to share frequencies. Keep in mind that the right phase is whichever position (0 or 180) is the loudest for fullest. With the REL in the corner the first step is to adjust for phase. The basic steps to setup are phase orientation, corner fine tuning, orientation, and final settings. Try to ignore all other music in the track, listen to the bass drum and its effect on the listening room. If working alone, corner fine tuning and orientation can be effectively carried out from the location of the REL. Working with a partner, one in the listening position and one at the REL manipulating position and controls is the most effective an efficient way to set up.

This track is perfect for the set-up process and should be played at the highest reasonable level expected for system playback. This has a repetitive bass drum throughout that gives you plenty of time to move the woofer around. We suggest track 4 from the soundtrack to Sneakers (Columbia CK 53146). To begin the set-up process, choose a piece of music that has a repetitive bass line that is very low in frequency.

Please see articles covering how to connect via High Level for details. In most cases, when connecting two channel systems, you will be using the REL high level connection with the supplied cable. Low bass pressurization below 40Hz is best derived from corner placement, where the most linear and efficient low bass can be produced because the subwoofer is able to take advantage of the tangential (corner to corner) axis which is typically the longest distance in a room. Remember, we are dealing with True LOW bass pressurization with RELs. For best results, the REL should be placed in one of the corners behind the speakers. A REL will take advantage of the physical room acoustics to provide deep pressurization as no traditional subwoofer can.

A REL is designed to augment the performance of FULL RANGE speaker systems in order to provide, in certain cases, linear response below 15Hz. And since I don't have a UK version, then I'll never experience the effects.REL products are not traditional subwoofers, but true Sub-Bass Systems. I guess i'm not really sure as to what 'contour' means and how it would affect the sub. I just question its usefulness when you already have a ROLLOFF control switch.

It seems that this is an extra feature that can be useful for some. I'm also curious as to why REL omitted the DEPTH/SLAM switch for the US version.

#Rel quake ii review manual
It got me confused at first but I re-searched the manual and your post helped too. IN means crossover is engaged, OUT means crossover is bypassed.ĭon't know why they have to do this for the US version. MODE switch has been replaced with two separate controls and is therefore a combinationof the 0/180 PHASE switch (only 2 positions for US which affects both hi and lo level inputs unlike the UK version which you can set crossover to bypass or engage for lo level input) and the LFE XOVER control which switches the CROSS OVER in or out and affects LFE input only (always active for HI LEVEL input).
