These connecons can be made on the Habitat1 through the REL Longbow™ transmier, or direct to the
back panel of the cabinet. In the case of connecng directly, only the subwoofer cabinet will need power.
Using input connecons to both the REL Longbow™ transmier and direct to the Habitat1 back panel are
not permied.
PHASE SWITCH: Used to set phase
Posion 0 / HIGH-LEVEL, LOW-LEVEL or LFE – 0 degrees phase
Posion 180 / HIGH-LEVEL, LOW-LEVEL or LFE – 180 degrees phase
PHASE SELECTION AFFECTS BOTH HIGH- AND LOW-LEVEL INPUTS: Crossover is always engaged for
HIGH-LEVEL INPUT. The .1/LFE signal does not pass through the crossover circuit.
Making Connecons
It is helpful to know that you will almost always connect the REL to the input on the rear panel labeled
“HIGH-LEVEL INPUT.” This connecon is made to the REL Longbow™ transmier using the supplied 6’ 6”
(2 meter) cable, the bare leads of which connect to the speaker output terminals of the power amplier.
The easy and foolproof connecon at the REL is done with a Neutrik Speakon connector. The purpose of
connecng to the speaker output terminals is one of the unique secrets of REL’s success. By connecng to
the high-level input on the REL from the amplier, you build forward the sonic signature of your main
system, including the tonal balance and ming cues of the enre electronics chain. In this way, the REL is
fed the exact signal that is fed to the main speakers. If the user prefers to connect the high level directly
to the Habitat1 subwoofer, please contact your dealer for a REL 34’ 10” (10 meter) cable with a right angle
Neutrik Speakon connector (PN NL4FRX) to t between the cabinet and the wall.
Connecng
HIGH-LEVEL connecon, using the enclosed cable with the Neutrik Speakon connector, is always the rst
choice. This connecon can be made without aecng the performance of the amplier because the REL’s
amplier input impedance is 150,000 ohms, in eect not producing any addional demand whatsoever on
the rest of your system.
