Opsætning
Placering
Optimal placement of your REL T/7x subwoofer is crucial for achieving the best sound performance. REL subwoofers are designed to work best when placed in a corner of your listening room. This placement utilizes the natural acoustic gain of the room, enhancing bass response and integration with your main speakers.
- Hjørneplacering: Position the subwoofer in a corner, equidistant from both walls if possible. This maximizes the acoustic coupling with the room.
- Eksperiment: Slight adjustments in distance from the walls (inches at a time) can significantly impact sound quality. Listen for the most natural and integrated bass.

Forbindelser
The T/7x offers multiple connection options to suit various audio systems. The high-level connection is recommended for optimal integration with your main speakers, especially for music listening.
- Højniveauforbindelse (anbefales til musik): Use the supplied 10-meter cable with the Neutrik Speakon connector. Connect the bare wires to your main amplifier's speaker output terminals (red to red, yellow to black, black to black). Plug the Speakon connector into the "HIGH LEVEL INPUT" on the T/7x. This method ensures the subwoofer receives the same sonic signature as your main speakers.
- Low-Level Connection (RCA): For home theater systems or if your amplifier lacks high-level outputs, connect a single RCA cable (not included) from your receiver's LFE (Low-Frequency Effects) or subwoofer output to the "LOW.1/LFE" input on the T/7x. For stereo low-level, use both "LOW LEVEL INPUT" RCA jacks.
- Strømtilslutning: Connect the power cord to the subwoofer's AC inlet and then to a suitable wall outlet.

Betjeningsvejledning
Initial Power On and Break-in
After connecting your T/7x, switch the power to ON. Allow the subwoofer to break-in for approximately 20-30 hours of normal use. During this period, the drivers and suspension will loosen, and the sound quality will improve.
Justering af kontrolelementer
The T/7x features intuitive controls on the rear panel for fine-tuning its performance to your room and main speakers.
- Phase Switch (0/180): This switch adjusts the phase of the subwoofer relative to your main speakers. Experiment with both settings while listening from your primary listening position. Choose the setting that provides the most coherent and impactful bass.
- HI/LOW LEVEL Control: This knob adjusts the overall output level of the subwoofer for high-level and low-level (RCA) inputs. Start with a low setting and gradually increase until the subwoofer blends seamlessly with your main speakers.
- CROSSOVER Control: This knob sets the upper frequency limit of the subwoofer. Adjust this to blend the subwoofer's output with the low-frequency roll-off of your main speakers. A good starting point is typically around 30Hz-50Hz, but this will vary based on your main speakers.
- LOW.1/LFE LEVEL Control: This control is specifically for the LFE input, typically used in home theater setups. It allows independent adjustment of the LFE channel volume.
