Dual mono with REL Subwoofer

[martynbaker1]

Hey Mart & Antoine,

The ground issue is painful, took me a day to resolve it, now the sub automatically goes to standby 30mins after Devialet is off.

However when music is paused the sub is not completely silent, if I put my ear right next to it I can hear some background noise, but it’s not humming. I guess it’s because the built in amplifier isn’t as good as Devialet which has a dead silence background. Anyway I don’t think it’s a problem as it’s not audible from certain distance.

I have followed the REL instructions but cannot do it 100% due to my room situation. I can only put it behind the speaker and can only facing straight. Room is not wide and depth enough for me to make all the adjustments but I believe it’s more for single subwoofer situation. I am going to get the second one tomorrow so they will almost fully cover everywhere in the room without any “bass gap”.

I tried the phase 0 and 180, very minor difference. 180 sounds little faster and more sync with the main speaker, so I leave it in 180.

I leave the crossover about 45-50 and 2/3 volume. Tested with few male and female voice music, I am quite happy with how it extending the bass, the system now has a much better response at both ends. My main speaker has a specification that can reaches 25Hz, so may be one day I should try lower the crossover a bit and see how it goes, but for now I just love the bass sound so much and wants it more

Ah great news. Two of those bad boys and you’ll have no problem pressurising the room. Setup will be much easier than what I dealt with too.

Yes all the RELs have a slight background noise. I asked REL when mine was doing the same. We’re spoilt with Devialet and its silence.

Enjoy the bass!
