BASS not base.
Gain level on a REL sub
Hi. I have purchase a REL R 218 sub to compliment my system and as far as sounding musical, I am happy. However, the gain is almost all the way up and I don feel that punch and slam I am looking for. Musically I am impressed with it but I still dont feel that level of impression overall. When I had the HSU STF-2, it was in a different league with in terms of impact and punch but for detail, the REL was better. My question now, Do you think I should try getting a another REL with the same model for a stereo pair or go with a different sub? My room is pretty small but it is treated with acoustic panels.

I make that mistake often and I'm a Double Bassist.
The subwoofer crawl is accomplished by positioning the subwoofer (not a sub-bass speakers) stationary at the listening position. The user then moves around the room noting and marking the strongest or best low frequency locations for subwoofer positioning. Originally from Richard Edmund Lord and more recently from a REL brochure:

+1 on the Rythmik F12G. I have one (one) myself and it's a great sub for music. I have a dual system connected to it (home theater plus a 2.1 music system) and it excels in both applications. I have no problem getting superbly musical, tight bass from it. It's highly adjustable to that end (but does not have a DSP app associated with it - you'll have to do it manually) and digs deep. Can't recommend this particular sub enough. |
I would have been very interested in trying a Rythmik, but for those who don’t know this, the Rythmiks using the plate amps with high level connections (I think they’re the PEQ3s?) cannot be used on amps that have differential, or floating, outputs. Amps will go boom. In systems like this the Rythmiks must use the line level inputs. |
