3 Once each sub has been carefully tuned, attach the cables for both subs. At this point, the output
achieved will be too loud and will require re-setting the volume/gain control of each G1 lower. This is
normal as the combined output is likely to be at least 3 db louder with both subs now being used. Using
the supplied remote, carefully turn down each sub until perfect balance is achieved. While turning the
left or right sub gain down, it is helpful to turn slightly and even lean slightly toward the side that is being
adjusted to better achieve focus and a balanced sound level more quickly.
Note: RELs use massive power supplies that can require 3-4 days to fully charge. During this time,
your G1 Mk II sub will begin to play louder. This is normal. It may require the user to lower the volume
slightly during this period.
G1 Mk II is designed to allow multiple units to be used in conjunction either as stereo pairs, or the
ultimate: vertical tower stacks of stereo subs. Stacked towers extend and strengthen the performance.
Connectivity for Towers of G1 Mk II, Multiple Sub-Bass Systems
To render connectivity simple, G1 Mk II provides both inputs and outputs for all connections. Thus, a stack
of G1 Mk II can be connected using only one high-level main cable from power amp to REL stack. In a .1
film sound configuration each channel will require a single main .1 cable as well, but additional units’ .1/LFE
connections in a tower may be daisy chained to minimize clutter. Stacked G1 Mk II subs have the ability to
effortlessly energize even the largest of salons with huge wavefronts of air, from the most delicate cello
pizzicato to the most crushing of pipe organs played at triple forte, G1 Mk II possesses the ability to convey
the musical event or film sound spectacularly and with ease.
This connectivity allows for the same amplifier output signal to easily feed multiple Sub-Bass Systems.
Simply use the optional cable (Speakon-to-Speakon) to connect from the “HIGH-LEVEL OUTPUT” of the first
sub-bass system to the “HIGH-LEVEL INPUT” of the second unit.
When “daisy chained” each Sub-Bass System retains its autonomy and each will need to have its output
level, crossover point, phase, etc. adjusted individually.
For multi-channel home cinema systems, the same procedure is followed except a RCA-to-RCA cable is also
used to connect the first sub-bass system “.1/LFE OUTPUT” to the “.1/LFE INPUT” of the second unit. As is
typical for REL, both high-level and .1/LFE inputs can be used together and adjusted independently offering
the ability to blend both signals to your taste.
