Know before you buy
The high-level connection uses a Neutrik Speakon cable to connect directly to your amplifier's speaker terminals. This allows the subwoofer to receive the exact same signal as your main speakers, ensuring the bass timing and character perfectly match your system's sonic signature.
The T/7x is designed for medium-sized spaces where it excels at providing tight, articulate bass. While it offers impressive output for its size, if you have a very large room or are looking for room-shaking cinematic impact, you might consider stepping up to a larger REL model or using a pair of T/7x units.
Yes, it is designed for both. Because it connects to your amplifier's speaker terminals, it integrates seamlessly with music setups, while the dedicated LFE input allows for a separate connection to your AV receiver for home theater effects.
The down-firing passive radiator is designed to work effectively on most solid floor surfaces, including hardwood, tile, and low-pile carpet. Because it uses the floor to load the room, you will get the best, most consistent results by placing it on a stable, flat surface.
The Class A/B amplifier is chosen for its natural, musical sound profile. It provides the speed and nuance required to keep up with high-end speakers, avoiding the sometimes sterile or clinical feel of some digital amplifier designs.
Setup is straightforward, though it requires a bit of patience to dial in the crossover and gain settings to match your main speakers. Once you find the sweet spot where the subwoofer disappears and simply extends the reach of your speakers, you generally won't need to adjust it again.
