I had to talk to the ARC tech support about the hook-up with my REL T5 and my ARC D70Mk2. The ARC' s of this vintage and possibly later, use the 4ohm tap as a ground and therefore hooking up the REL was not obvious. I was told to hook up the left and right cable from the REL to the left and right 8ohm tap of the amp and the ground cable to the 4ohm tap. The speaker cables are hooked up to the 4ohm taps and the 0 ohm taps....Haven't tried this yet, but will report back after I have hooked up in this manner.
REL subwoofer crossover question
Hope someone can help me out with this.....I am somewhat familiar with how the crossover settings work on REL subs (2 Brittania B2) but don't know if they differ from other manufacturers such as Velodyne. My question is should I be hearing bass frequencies in the 60-80 hz range when I have the crossover setting at the A 1 position (which according to the manual rolls of at 22 HZ? I'm not too familiar with how the crossover rolls off, but I'm surprised that I can't get any rolloff below 80HZ. Is this room nodes/issues or what? I have played a little with placement and all but haven't gone crazy with them. I am using a single RCA for the left one out of my preamp and vice versa. (I haven't tried the neutrik connections yet, have to purchase if the are truly better). Any thoughts? Thanks.
