3.1 التنسيب

Optimal placement is crucial for subwoofer performance. The T/5x is designed to integrate seamlessly into your listening environment. Consider placing the subwoofer in a corner or along a wall to maximize bass output and achieve smooth room integration. Experiment with different positions to find the best balance for your room acoustics. For larger listening spaces (over 400 sq ft), consider using a stereo pair of T/5x subwoofers.

High-Level Input (Recommended for Music)

Use the included 10-meter high-level cable with the Neutrik connector. Connect the bare wire ends to the speaker output terminals of your amplifier (red to amplifier's right positive, yellow to amplifier's left positive, black to amplifier's ground). Plug the Neutrik connector into the HIGH LEVEL INPUT on the subwoofer's rear panel. This method ensures the subwoofer receives the same signal as your main speakers, maintaining tonal balance.

مدخلات منخفضة المستوى (RCA)

For home theater applications, connect a single RCA cable (not included) from your AV receiver's LFE (Low-Frequency Effects) output to the LOW.1/LFE INPUT on the subwoofer. Alternatively, for stereo systems without high-level outputs, use standard RCA cables to connect from your preamplifier's output to the LOW LEVEL INPUTs (left and right) on the subwoofer.

3.3 الإعدادات الأولية

After connecting, adjust the following controls on the rear panel:

• مرحلة: Start with 0 degrees. Adjust to 180 degrees if the bass sounds thin or out of sync with your main speakers. The correct phase setting will result in the most impactful and coherent bass.
• عبور: Begin by setting the crossover frequency to approximately 30Hz. Adjust this control to blend the subwoofer's output smoothly with your main speakers. The goal is to extend the bass response of your system without creating a noticeable gap or overlap.
• HI/LOW LEVEL: Start with the gain control at its minimum setting. Gradually increase the level until the subwoofer's output matches the volume of your main speakers.
• .1/LFE LEVEL: If using the LFE input, adjust this separate gain control to balance the LFE channel's volume with the rest of your home theater system.

4. تعليمات التشغيل

4.1 تشغيل/إيقاف التشغيل

Connect the power cord to the subwoofer and a suitable AC outlet. Use the power switch on the rear panel to turn the unit ON or OFF. The T/5x is designed for continuous operation, but can be powered off when not in use for extended periods.

4.2 Fine-Tuning for Optimal Performance

After initial setup, fine-tune the controls while listening to familiar music or movie scenes. Adjust the Crossover and Level controls in small increments. The ideal setting is when the subwoofer disappears into the soundstage, providing a natural extension of bass without drawing attention to itself.

4.3 اقتران ستيريو

For enhanced performance and a more expansive soundstage, two T/5x subwoofers can be used in a stereo configuration. Each subwoofer should be connected to its respective channel (left or right) of your amplifier's speaker outputs using the high-level input. Follow the individual setup instructions for each unit, then fine-tune them together for a cohesive sound.

5. الصيانة

To maintain the appearance and performance of your REL T/5x subwoofer, follow these guidelines:

• تنظيف: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the cabinet. For high gloss finishes, a slightly damp cloth followed by a dry one can be used to remove fingerprints. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• بيئة التوظيف: Ensure the subwoofer is placed in a stable location, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and excessive moisture.
