Thank you for placing your trust in us and welcome to the REL family. While we make products far more
expensive than the T/x range, these T/x models are so very important to us. Experience has taught us that if
you have a wonderful experience with this range, you will understand in a deeper way what we’re about as
a company and be more likely to become a repeat customer in the future.
The Serie T/x took us a long me to develop, principally because we could not conceive of a way to dramacally
improve upon the prior T/i models. But aer almost two years of design meengs, engineering, sampling,
and tesng, improve we did. And in absolutely every way possible. Our design team is sll a lile amazed,
as these new designs have taken on some of the sonic aspects of the upmarket Serie S.
Our approach was to begin with carefully increasing the internal cabinet volume. This releases more energy
for the same amplicaon. Doing so necessitated a complete redesign of each drivers suspension, each
passive radiator’s suspension and a total revamp of the internal damping we use. This last part is essenal
because when you are imparng more energy within the cabinet, it must be dealt with sympathecally.
The sonic results are spectacular; a massive increase in dynamics, speed and openness resulted from this
approach. One that then forced us to completely re-calibrate all of our levels and limiters. Many months
were consumed performing this painstaking ne tuning. At the very end of this process, a new transistor
within the ultra-reliable Class A/B ampliers was specied which yielded even more improvements to
transparency over the enre sonic spectrum. What we deliver in Serie T/x now represents lessons derived
from our larger Serie S models, rather than minor upgrades to an older line.
Thank you again for taking this journey with us, we’re very proud of what the team accomplished in the T/x
and look forward to hearing your experiences with our newest members of the REL family.
Best,

High Level Input
Connecons should be made to the same binding post on main amplier as the main speakers. Red to
amplier main right speaker red terminal, yellow to amplier main le speaker red terminal and black to
amplier main speaker black terminal, right or le but not both. (See Connecng and seng up secon
below for details on integraon with Class D and Dierenal type amplier designs). Plug the Neutrik®
Speakon® plug into the HI LEVEL Speakon® socket.
.1 Input
This requires an RCA to RCA cable and is a dedicated true .1 channel. This circuit therefore eliminates the
normal Natural RollO™ Crossover and passes the .1 low-level signal through with only the required 120Hz
fourth-order lter.
Low Level Input
The RCA input allows for convenonal connecon from one channel of a preamplier. This connecon is
necessary when using acve, powered speakers or when connecng to certain soundbars. Plug one end of
an RCA to RCA cable into the LOW LEVEL INPUT of the REL and the other end into the le or right channel
output of your preamplier.
Phase Switch
Used to set phase. Phase Switch on remote control is momentary. Refer to display for 0 or 180 degree
status. Phase selecon aects High Level, Low Level and .1/LFE inputs.
PHASE SELECTION AFFECTS BOTH HIGH AND LOW LEVEL INPUTS
Crossover is always engaged for high and low level inputs. The .1/LFE signal does not pass through the
crossover circuit.
Connecvity and Funconality
12
Always switch o your system before disconnecng any wires.
To increase the versality of connecng up, the Serie T/x models have three separate inputs. A high-level
input socket, a .1/LFE RCA input, and a low-level RCA input. 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 is designed to
accept the stereo (two-channel) signals from the speaker terminals of your receiver, integrated amplier or
basic amplier. 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 RollO™ circuitry, ensures far superior system
integraon of the Sub-Bass System with the main system.
STOP! Please read the following or damage can occur. Do not force the Neutrik Connector into its socket on
the rear of the amplier. Please study the Neutrik and note that the cable’s black and blue plug has a black
key, a part that locates into a corresponding slot on the amplier. Line up the cable’s connector with this slot
on the amplier. insert fully into socket and rotate clockwise unl a so “click” is heard.
To remove the Neutrik® Speakon® plug, grip body of plug, place thumb on chrome lever, move lever backwards,
rotate plug anclockwise quarter turn and withdraw.
There is a single RCA socket for low level connecon to the output of a stereo preamplier or receiver. Another
single RCA socket connects to the .1/LFE output of a home cinema processor.
HIGH LEVEL and .1/LFE inputs can be used simultaneously. The benets are two-fold when used with a
home cinema processor. The .1/LFE input reproduces the .1/LFE channel and the high-level connecon
underpins the main front speakers. The main front speakers should be set to the ‘Large’ opon on the
processor. (See “Theatre Applicaons” for more informaon).
Connecng Up
13
REL products are not tradional subwoofers, but true Sub-Bass Systems. A REL is designed to augment the
performance of “full range” speaker systems in order to provide, in certain cases, linear response below 15Hz.
Therefore, for the moment, please set aside everything you’ve been taught about subwoofers and how
they are integrated into a stereo or home cinema system. REL Sub-Bass Systems set-up and posioning
diers from convenonal subwoofers. A REL will take advantage of physics and room acouscs to provide
deep pressurizaon as no tradional subwoofer can. It is important that you bring to the set-up process a
willingness to do things a lile dierently in order to obtain these superior results. The end result of your
labors will be an uerly seamless integraon of true deep bass to a sound system, regardless of the main
speakers’ low bass capability.
Basic set-up should take no more than ten to een minutes to accomplish once connected.
Two Things Before You Begin
1 It is helpful to know that you will almost always connect the REL to the input on the rear panel labeled
“HIGH-LEVEL INPUT.This connecon is made using the supplied 33’ 6” (10 meters) cable, the bare leads
of which connect to the speaker output terminals of the power amplier. The easy and foolproof connecon
at the REL is done with a Neutrik® Speakon® connector. The purpose of connecng to the speaker output
terminals is one of the unique secrets of RELs success. By connecng to the High Level input on the REL
from the amplier, you build forward the sonic signature of your main system, including the tonal balance
and ming cues of the enre electronics chain. In this way, the REL is fed the exact signal that is fed to the
main speakers.
2 When possible, the REL should be placed in one of the corners behind the speakers. Remember, we are
dealing with true LOW bass pressurizaon with RELs. Low bass pressurizaon below 40Hz is best derived
from corner placement, where the most linear and ecient low bass can be produced because the
subwoofer is able to take advantage of the tangenal (corner-to-corner) axis which is typically the
longest axis in a room.
REL Set-Up Made Simple
Connecng and Seng Up
High-level connecon, using the enclosed cable with the Neutrik® Speakon® connector, is always the rst
choice. This connecon can be made without aecng the performance of the amplier because the RELs
amplier input impedance is 150,000 ohms, in eect producing NO addional load on the rest of your system.
The standard high-level hook up procedure is: aach the red wire to the ampliers right posive speaker
output terminal; aach the yellow wire to the ampliers le posive speaker output terminal; aach the
black wire to whichever of the ampliers ground output terminals is convenient; plug the Speakon®
connector into the Sub-Bass System’s high-level input.
14
Standard High level
For dierenal (i.e. fully balanced) ampliers using one REL, simply use the standard connecng scheme
with the excepon of NOT connecng the black wire to a negave speaker terminal. Instead, it should
rst be allowed to “oat” or hang down without connecon to ANY terminal. Should hum occur using this
method, please try connecng to an unused RCA connector on the rear of a preamp or amplier. Please
contact your dealer should there be any quesons concerning this or any other hookup procedure.
NOTE: Serie T/x models are equipped with internal circuitry to allow connecon to many Class D (digital) ampliers
Warning: Do NOT connect the Black wire to the main Class D power amplier’s speaker ground terminal.
Some Class D ampliers produce posive voltage at the ampliers speaker ground terminal (black) and
connecng the RELs ground will produce an undesirable shorng to ground. If connecng to a Class D
amplier, follow the above connecon procedure for dierenal ampliers.
15
Dierenal (i.e. Fully Balanced)
When connecng RELs to Mono Bloc ampliers (2) RELs, one for each amplier, must be used. Connect
the black wire of each REL to the negave speaker terminal of the corresponding amplier channel; twist
together the red and yellow wires of each REL separately and connect each pair to the posive speaker
terminal of the corresponding amplier channel. In some instances, this will result in exceponally high
gain (output) from the RELs. If it seems simply too high in gain, please remove either the red or yellow
wire from the twisted pair. This will reduce output by half and restore a natural dynamic.
If the amplier is of balanced dierenal design, please follow the instrucons on the previous page in the
secon above labeled Dierenal Connecon.

17
• If connecng a single REL as a dedicated centre channel sub, an insider p is to consider connecng to the
rear of the speaker, rather than roung the REL High Level enable all the way back to the amplier (unless
the amplier is of Class D or Dierenal output design). Connect the black wire of the REL to the negave
centre channel speaker terminal; twist together the red and yellow wires and connect this paired cable
(red/yellow paired together) to the posive centre channel speaker terminal.
If connecng a REL as a dedicated rear channel sub, connect the black wire of the REL to either the le
rear or right rear negave speaker terminal; connect the yellow wire to the le rear posive speaker
terminal; connect the red wire to the right rear posive speaker terminal. If the amplier is of balanced
dierenal design, please follow the instrucons in the secon above labeled Dierenal Connecon.
Dedicated Centre Channel
Dedicated Rear Channel
Low-level connecon (via RCA connector) is always an opon if high-level connecon is not possible. When
connecng to the low-level inputs in a system in which high-level connecon is not possible, such as if using
internally-amplied speakers, connect le and right RCA cables between the LOW LEVEL INPUT jacks of
the REL and the le or right channel output of your preamplier. In some cases, these channels can be
combined with a “Y” cable or a dedicated SUB output.
Please consult your pre-amplier’s/integrated amplier’s manufacturer before connecng with a “Y” cable.
When connecng to a home cinema system where there is a .1/LFE channel output, connect a single RCA to RCA
or XLR to XLR cable between the sub output of the processor/receiver and the .1/LFE input jacks on the REL.
1 Posioning: The opmal posion for a single REL Serie T/x is in one of the corners behind the main speakers.
This posion provides 9 dB of mechanical amplicaon and allows for the most linear true low bass wave
launch, owing to the ability to tune the RELs crossover to the longest distance in the room in order to produce
the longest, therefore lowest frequency, bass waves.
1a.Stereo Set-Up of Serie T/x: : (see page 11 through 12 for Stereo Set-Up procedure).When this step has
been completed, proceed to Number 2, immediately below.
2 The Process: To begin the set-up process, choose a piece of music that has a repeve bass line that is
very low in frequency. We suggest track 4 from the soundtrack to Sneakers (Columbia CK 53146). This
has a repeve bass drum throughout that gives you plenty of me to move the woofer around, but more
importantly, the venue was quite large for this recording, and therefore it has a very deep and large-scale
bass signature. This track is perfect for the set-up process and should be played at the highest reasonable
level expected for system playback.
Working with a partner, one in the listening posion and one at the REL manipulang the controls, is the
most eecve and ecient way to set up the REL. If working alone, the inial steps in the set-up can be very
eecvely carried out from the locaon of the REL. Trying to ignore all other music in the track, listen for
the bass drum and its eect on the listening room.
3 Phase Orientaon: Once in the corner, we need to adjust for phase. This may be the single most crical
step, and because it really is quite simple, it is oen over-thought. Keep in mind; the right phase is whichever
posion is the loudest or fullest. While playing music with true low bass, adjust the crossover to a point
where the REL and the speaker are sure to share frequencies at 50Hz on the crossover control, or slightly
higher for smaller speakers. At this point turn the HI/LO LEVEL control up so that both the REL and speaker
are roughly equal in volume and then switch, using the phase switch, from 0 to 180 phase posions. Again,
whichever posion is loudest or fullest is the correct posion. That is, when the posion is working
in harmony with your main speakers, reinforcing bass, not canceling it.
18
19
4 Corner Fine Tuning: (When Seng up for Stereo Serie T/x it is Possible that Placement is Not Corner Loaded
and this Step May be Omied). The next step is to determine precisely how far from the corner the sub
should be placed to achieve the most ecient output, as well as the lowest frequency extension. With the
REL fully into the corner, and poinng straight out along the diagonal coming out of the corner, connuing
to play the music, slowly pull the REL from the corner on the diagonal, equidistant from both side and rear
wall. At a certain point (somemes a maer of only a few inches, in rare cases a foot or more) the REL will
audibly go lower, play louder, and, if it truly locks on to the room and is fully pressurizing it, the air around
the REL will seem to be energized, stop right there! This is the correct posion from the corner for the REL.
5 Orientaon: Once the posion from the corner has been established, the orientaon of the woofer
must be determined by rotang 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. In eect, the REL
should be le in the posion where it is playing the loudest and lowest.
6 Crossover and Level Sengs: To determine the crossover point, take the volume of the REL (using the HI/LO
Level control) all the way down, and put the crossover to 30Hz. At this point, bring the RELs 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 Serie T/x even with the main speakers playing. First, bring the crossover point up unl it is obviously
too high; now gently reduce frequency to the appropriate seng. For all intents and purposes, this is the
correct crossover point. Once this stage has been reached, subtle changes to volume and crossover may be
accomplished to provide the last bit of complete and seamless integraon. With that, set-up is complete.
Hint: There may be a tendency to set the crossover point too high and the volume of the Sub-Bass System
too low when rst learning how to integrate a REL with the system, the fear being one of overwhelming the
main speakers with bass. In making this common error, the resulng set-up will be lacking in bass depth and
dynamics. The proper crossover point and volume seng will increase overall dynamics, allow for extended
bass frequencies, and improve soundstage properes.
Note: volume adjustments may need to be made to oset the eects of crossover changes. In general, when
selecng a lower crossover point, more volume may need to be applied. Higher crossover frequencies will
generally necessitate less gain.

Stereo Set-Up of REL Serie T/x
Stereo Sub-Bass is advised for the fastest, clearest, deep bass—not for more output. Convenonal wisdom
has it that stereo subs results in between +3 and +6 db addional output depending upon posioning. In
and of itself, this is of only passing interest in most instances since even a single Serie T/x is capable of
profound output. What then, is the point to adding a second stereo sub bass Serie T/x?
In a word, clarity. Clarity that permits “seeingback into the farthest reaches of the sound stage. Clarity that
illuminates all dimensions of the musicians and the space that they inhabit equally and enhances the natural
reality of a great full range system, as only RELs can. Stereo Serie T/x produce clarity, transparency, speed
and low level detail NOT just in the bass but throughout the enre spectrum of music.
Set-Up:
When seng up stereo Serie T/x, it is possible to place both units in the front corners of the room, carefully
toed-in and placed per normal guidance in this manual. Connect each sub to the speaker terminal outputs
based on the following diagrams for standard stereo amp, non-balanced mono blocks or balanced dierenal
mono blocks.

Expert Set-Up: Preferable is to bring the subs further out into the room and place them slightly behind and
outboard of the main speakers.
1 Set each side up independently. Disconnect the sub that is not being set-up so your complete focus can
be given over to the sub that is being set-up. Carefully follow the guidance provided in standard set-up if
you are unfamiliar with standard REL set-up procedure for gain, phase and crossover sengs.

2 Carefully ne-tune the posion of the sub in its recommended locaon (slightly behind and to the outside
of the main speaker) listening for rich powerful room nodes, but focusing on speed and connecon with
the main speaker. Since there will be a preponderance of output available to a stereo Serie T/x owner,
focusing on connecon with and blending with the main speaker becomes the primary focus, not merely
raw output.
3 Once each sub has been carefully tuned, aach the cables for both subs. At this point, the output achieved
will be too loud and will require re-seng the volume/gain control of each Carbon Special lower. This is
normal as the combined output is likely to be at least 3 db louder with both subs now being used. Start by
turning down each channel one click on the HI/LOW LEVEL control, carefully listen then adjust again unl
perfect balance is achieved. You will have to adjust on the rear of the RELs then walk back to the listening
posion to determine this balance.

Theatre Applicaons
For Dolby Digital AC3 or other 5.1 theatre systems, once the standard set-up for two-channel outlined
above is complete, the LFE output from the processor or receiver should be connected to the .1/LFE INPUT
and appropriate volume adjustments made using the .1/LFE level control. For this conguraon, you must
set the processor to the “large” or “full range” seng for the le and right speakers in order for the REL to
receive the bass signal via the high-level cable. In this conguraon, the REL provides support for both the
le and right speakers for two-channel listening, and support for the LFE when movies are playing. Most
processors will allow you to defeat the subwoofer output when listening in the two-channel mode. The
eect of this set-up is one of greatly increased dynamics in the mid-bass range, no bass bloat, and a greater
degree of space and ming from the special audio eects. For an even greater sense of space and impact,
a second REL connected in parallel to the centre channel will prove to be a dramac improvement as well.
And if that is not enough, a rear REL, both to support the rear channel speakers as well as to evenly distribute
LFE through the room, truly completes the full-range sonic picture for state-of-the-art lm reproducon.
Running In
Care taken during run in will be rewarded by many years of pleasurable use. Both the electronics and the
drive unit will benet from an inial period of carefully controlled use. Possible damage may be sustained
by running in the unit at too high a volume seng over an extended period. On the other hand, by taking a
lile care over this inial period, about 24 hours of actual use, a longer life with a higher potenal eventual
performance is assured.
Care and Polishing
The cabinets are best maintained by using an automobile polish made by reputable manufacturers. Our
favorites are those made by Meguiars and Mothers. If objects are to be placed upon the top, it is advisable
to use a small mat to protect the surface and to avoid the risk of rales.
Overload Protecon
All REL Sub-Bass Systems are designed as true sub bass speakers. They are designed to reproduce those
exceponally deep notes that are felt as well as heard. This it will aempt to do at whatever volume level
you set. If set too high no damage should result because the built-in electronics will limit the cone movement.
This electronic control is called Set-Safe™. It constantly and instantaneously monitors the output from the
power amplier and is totally transparent in operaon unl required. This means it has absolutely no eect
on the sound quality of your REL unl an overload is detected.
Ordinarily an overload would cause the power amplier to go into clipping with resultant loss of control
over the drive unit. This can cause drive unit damage, and always sounds nasty. Set-Safe™ detects the point
of incipient clipping and gently so-clips the waveform of the signal to ensure actual clipping does not occur.
This is a necessarily simplied descripon of what actually happens, but in eect, Set-Safe™ controls the
amplier and ensures there is minimum risk of amplier and driver damage caused by over-driving.
A thermal overload device is ed to all Serie T/x Sub-Bass Systems. If the unit is deliberately over-driven
this device will sense the temperature rise and cut the output; recovery me is approximately ve minutes.
If this happens, it is a warning that the unit is being over-driven and the volume level control should be
reduced to a safe level.
Although everything possible has been done to minimize risk of thermal overload failure, there can be
no defense against those individuals who deliberately abuse the device. Such damage is NOT covered by
warranty. Please remember your REL is there to supplement your main system, not overwhelm it!
Power Saving Eciency
All REL sub bass system designs ulize a true On-O switch that aords the owner the ability to turn o
their unit completely, without having to unplug the A/C mains cord. When a REL sub bass system is switched
o using the On-O switch on the rear panel it draws ZERO power.
Leaving a REL on, produces the best sonic performance and the most reliable operaon. Using this seng
ensures that the Serie T/x is ready to react instantaneously to bass transients, whether in music or lms.
