The Habitat1 is intended to be used with a REL Longbow™ transmitter which is supplied with each of these
subwoofers. Both the Habitat1 subwoofer cabinet and the Longbow™ transmitter will require AC power
from a wall plug. There is an AC cable supplied for the subwoofer cabinet and a power adapter cable supplied
for the transmitter. The design intent here is to find the perfect place for the Habitat1 on a wall with the
Longbow™ transmitter located remotely without long cables needed to connect an audio signal.
We have designed the Habitat1 with connections on the back of the cabinet for users that wish to connect
audio directly. In this case the transmitter will not be necessary and the user will have to contact the REL
dealer for a 34’ 10” (10 meter) cable with a right angle Neutrik Speakon connector to fit between the cabinet
and wall.
It is not possible to use the Longbow™ wireless connection and a direct connection simultaneously.
Always switch your system off before disconnecting any wires.
ALWAYS connect using the REL HIGH-LEVEL input, unless your system simply cannot accommodate this.
While rare, a few esoteric systems, such as those that deliver a pure digital signal to active speakers,
preclude this possibility. To increase the versatility of connecting up, the Habitat1 has three separate inputs:
A Neutrik Speakon socket and two phono sockets. This is to facilitate use with both two-channel stereo
systems and AV surround sound systems.
The HIGH-LEVEL, unbalanced, dual-channel (stereo) input is via a Neutrik Speakon connector which is
connected to the power amplifier’s left and right channel speaker terminals. This has the advantage of
ensuring that the REL receives exactly the same signal as the main speakers. This means that the character
of the bass from the main system is carried forward into the sub-bass. This is a very important point and
ensures far superior system integration of the sub-bass with the main system.
The LOW-LEVEL input is via a phono jack that connects to either the .1/LFE output of a home cinema
amplifier/processor or to the output of a stereo preamplifier.
HIGH-LEVEL and .1/LFE inputs can be used simultaneously. The benefits are two-fold when used with a
home cinema system. The .1 Input reproduces the .1/LFE channel and the HIGH-LEVEL connection underpins
the main front speakers. The main front speakers should be set to the “large” option on the processor.
