Subwoofers that do both L/R & LFE simultaneously?

Sorry, Nsgarch. I thought you were implying that the signal was rolled-off (via a low-pass filter in the sub) before being sent to the main speakers. As you know (but for those who may not) this is not the case with the REL. The full bandwidth signal is sent to the main speakers, and a "sampling" of the signal (via the 100K Ohm impedence of the sub) is sent to the REL to be low-pass filtered and amplified by the internal sub amp. The REL is then adjusted in terms of amplitude (volume) and crossover frequency to integrate with the natural low-end rolloff of the main speakers. The REL doesn't use another set of speaker cables (although you could make a Neutrik-terminated cable out of a speaker cable). A supplied cable is included with the sub (but you can find reasonably-priced aftermarket cables, too).

Can someone describe this Neutrik connector is detail? How many connections? You just slip it under the amps speaker outs on either the L or R channel? Can you use two subs? It does sound like something that might cause a different set of tranference conditions in that channel possibly negating big buck cables. Thanks for all the unput!

Why not get an Outlaw ICBM? It lets you combine and balance LFE and managed bass from any/all channels with any sub.

Autoll,

Here is what the REL setup states about the Neutrik connector:

Connecting
High-level connection, using the enclosed cable with the Neutrik Speakon connector, is always the first choice. By connecting to the amplifier’s speaker outputs the sonic signature of the entire amplification chain is folded into the signal for the sub, thereby keeping timing and timbre cues consistent. In other words, the signal sent to the REL is exactly the same signal sent to the speakers, allowing for seamless integration. This connection can be made without affecting the performance of the amplifier because the sub’s amplifier input impedance is 100,000 ohms. This scheme also avoids adding any detrimental effects by not interposing any additional electronics into the amplification chain.
• The standard high level hook up procedure is: attach the red wire to the amplifier’s right positive speaker output terminal; attach the yellow wire to the amplifier’s left positive speaker output terminal; attach the black wire to which ever of the amplifier’s ground output terminals is convenient; plug the Speakon connector into the sub’s high level input.
• For differential amplifiers using one sub, simply use the standard connecting scheme with the exception of connecting ground to chassis ground, not to speaker output ground, and then connecting into the high level input (Hi Input or Unbal Hi Input on Stentor III and Studio III).
• For differential amplifiers using two subs for each channel: connect red to positive; yellow to negative; and black to chassis ground; plug the Speakon into the balanced high level input (Bal Hi Input).

Low-level connection, RCA inputs (or XLR on some models), is always an option, should high-level connection not be possible, or in a theater system where both high-level and low-level connection should be used. When connecting to the low level inputs, connect a single RCA cable to the 0dB RCA jack. Additional gain can be achieved by connecting to the +12dB input. If you are connecting two channels of stereo output from a pre-amplifier, simply use a high-quality y-adaptor to sum the two signals together.
