CONNECTING UP
Always switch off your system before disconnecting any wires
To enhance connection versatility, the “St” range has a range of separate inputs depending
on the model, see page 8.
To connect to the power amplifier using the UNBALANCED Neutrik high
level input.
To engage the Neutrik Speakon plug, insert fully into socket and rotate clockwise until locked.
To remove the Neutrik Speakon plug, grip body of plug, place thumb on chrome lever, move
lever backwards and rotate plug anti-clockwise (counter-clockwise in the US) a quarter turn

The high level input* is designed to accept the stereo (two channel) signals from the speaker
terminals of your receiver, integrated amplifier, or power amplifiers. This has the advantage
of ensuring that your sub-bass system receives exactly the same signal as the main
speakers, and ensures that the character of the bass from the main system is carried forward
into the sub-bass. This is a very important factor in the successful integration of your sub-
bass with the main system and works with the REL’s ABC circuitry to ensure a superior result.
*This input is labeled “Hi LEVEL”. This is the recommended means of connecting the
sub for two-channel use.
