6 Crossover and Level Settings: To determine the crossover point, take the volume of the REL (using
the HI/LO Level control) all the way down, and put the crossover to 30Hz. At this point, bring the REL’s
volume back up slowly to the point where you have achieved a subtle balance, i.e. the point at which
you can just hear the G1 Mk II even with the main speakers playing. First, bring the crossover point up
until it is obviously too high; now gently reduce frequency to the appropriate setting. For all intents and
purposes, this is the correct crossover point. Once this stage has been reached, subtle changes to volume
and crossover may be accomplished to provide the last bit of complete and seamless integration. With
that, set-up is complete.
Hint: There may be a tendency to set the crossover point too high and the volume of the Sub-Bass System
too low when first learning how to integrate a REL with the system, the fear being one of overwhelming
the main speakers with bass. In making this common error, the resulting set-up will be lacking in bass
depth and dynamics. The proper crossover point and volume setting will increase overall dynamics, allow
for extended bass frequencies, and improve soundstage properties. Note, volume adjustments may need
to be made to offset the effects of crossover changes. In general, when selecting a lower crossover point,
more volume may need to be applied.Higher crossover frequencies will generally necessitate less gain.
Stereo Set-Up of REL G1 Mk II
Stereo Sub-Bass is advised for the fastest, clearest, deep bass—not for more output. Conventional wisdom
has it that stereo subs results in b3 and +6 db additional output depending upon positioning. In
and of itself, this is of only passing interest in most instances since even a single G1 Mk II is capable of
profound output. What then, is the point to adding a second stereo Sub-Bass G1 Mk II?
In a word, clarity. Clarity that permits “seeing” back into the farthest reaches of the sound stage. Clarity
that illuminates all dimensions of the musicians and the space that they inhabit equally and enhances the
natural reality of a great full range system, as only RELs can. Stereo Mk II’s and vertical stacks, often referred
to as 6-Packs, produce clarity, transparency, speed and low level detail NOT just in the bass but throughout
the entire spectrum of music.
