General
Frequently Asked Questions
Can’t find the answer to your question in the manual? You may find the answer to your question in the FAQs about the REL Acoustics Quake below.
How do I connect my Rel Quake speaker to my audio source?
To connect your Rel Quake speaker to your audio source, use a standard RCA cable. Connect one end to the subwoofer output of your amplifier or receiver, and the other end to the LFE (Low-Frequency Effects) input of your Rel Quake speaker.
How do I adjust the volume of my Rel Quake speaker?
To adjust the volume of your Rel Quake speaker, locate the volume control knob on the back panel. Turn the knob clockwise to increase the volume and counterclockwise to decrease it. Start with a lower volume and gradually increase it to your desired level.
What should be the ideal crossover frequency for my Rel Quake speaker?
The ideal crossover frequency for your Rel Quake speaker depends on your main speakers’ capabilities and the acoustics of your listening room. Generally, a crossover frequency between 50Hz and 80Hz is a good starting point. Experiment with different settings to find the best balance between your main speakers and the subwoofer.
How can I optimize the placement of my Rel Quake speaker in the room?
To optimize the placement of your Rel Quake speaker, consider placing it in a corner or against a wall to take advantage of room boundary reinforcement. Experiment with different locations to find the spot that provides the best bass response and integration with your main speakers.
Is it possible to adjust the phase of my Rel Quake speaker?
Yes, it is possible to adjust the phase of your Rel Quake speaker. On the back panel, locate the phase control switch and select either 0 degrees or 180 degrees. Start with the default setting (0 degrees) and adjust it if you notice phase cancellation or reinforcement issues in certain listening positions.
Can bluetooth devices of different brands be connected to each other?
Yes, bluetooth is a universal method that allows different devices equipped with bluetooth to connect to each other.
What is bluetooth?
Bluetooth is a way of exchanging data wirelessly between electronic devices via radio waves. The distance between the two devices that exchange data can in most cases be no more than ten metres.
When is my volume too loud?
A volume above 80 decibels can be harmful to hearing. When the volume exceeds 120 decibels, direct damage can even occur. The chance of hearing damage depends on the listening frequency and duration.
Wat is Dolby Atmos?
Dolby Atmos is a technology that ensures that the sound is reflected from the ceiling to where you are listening. This makes it possible to create a 5.1 effect with only 1 speaker.

INTRODUCTION TO ‘Q’ RANGE SUB BASS SYSTEMS
Many or most loudspeakers designed to reproduce low bass are specifically designed to emphasize
the mid bass. This is the range from 30 to 70 Hertz. We at REL believe this is wrong. All of our
designs are true sub bass systems, meaning they are designed to reproduce those very low
frequencies that are felt rather than heard. This is because we believe that music is full range, as are
sound effects on movies, and we intend our products to reproduce all of these sounds, not a narrow
band.
The “Q” range models are equipped to allow you to take full advantage of AC3, Dolby Digital, DTS,
MPEG 2 and any other digital sound format that includes a dedicated Low Frequency Effects (LFE)
channel.
The dedicated LFE input meets the tough specification laid down for digital 3/2.1 channels, usually
known as 5.1. The output is nominally flat from 25Hz — 120hz. It has a dedicated input level control
which enables users to set the LFE level independently of the processor. This is important because
not all processors offer control over this significant parameter. The LFE channel is typically recorded
at 10db higher levels than the other channels.
The “Q” range also has standard speaker level inputs with their own input level control. Uniquely,
both the speaker level and the LFE input can be used simultaneously. This means you can set it up
for an audiophile sound with your CD’s or other stereo signals and instantly revert to using the SubBass System as the dedicated LFE component when watching movies. This is a feature of real
benefit if you wish to play music in stereo mode in the purist audiophile way and in full 5.1 digital
mode. True flexibility!
On two models there is a ‘Slam’ and ‘Depth’ selector, (Q150E and QUAKE). ‘Slam’ mode allows you
to choose a higher output level at 40Hz — 150Hz at the expense of maximum bass extension. This is
an excellent ‘party’ mode where subtlety and ultimate fidelity is secondary.
Alternatively the standard ‘Depth’ mode 20Hz — 100Hz provides maximum bass extension and is
strongly recommended where the highest possible fidelity is demanded. This is ideal for people in
pursuit of the absolutely highest fidelity.
See the specification table on pages 18 and 19 for features of the various models.

Друзья, всех приветствую!
Вот и свершилось. Обзавелся сабвуфером REL Quake для стерео.
Всегда был противником сабвуферов в стерео ровно до того момента, пока не услышал как они могут играть в КДП у Serg_E. С тех пор начал задумываться о приобретении такой машинки в свою систему (Dali Rubicon 2, Cambridge CXA60, Onkyo NS-6130). Но то денег было жалко, то еще что-то.
И вот попадается на Авито мне REL Quake. Еду, смотрю, слушаю и договариваемся о цене в 28 тыс. В комплекте не было провода для высокоуровневого подключения. Взял как есть, думаю, потом докуплю. Привожу этого RELовского красавца домой, подрубаю по низкому уровню и тут… совсем не то, чего ожидал. Какой-то бубнеж, бас смазан, звук саба «забивает» звук от АС. Думаю, просто надо настроить и найти место сабу. Принялся искать место, вроде, нашел, давай играть настройками: фаза, кроссовер, уровень громкости, но все не то. Не было радости от покупки.
Решил, что надо попробовать собрать кабель для высокоуровневого подключения и послушать саб еще раз. Сергей подсказал распиновку на спиконе и кабель был собран.
Попытка №2. И ооооооодаааааааааа!!!!!!! Именно то, чего ожидал. Такое чувство, что сабвуфер мне подменили. Бас собрался, появился четкий контроль, сабвуфер играет, не отставая от АС. Море положительных эмоций. Теперь и настройка проще: по низкому уровню крутишь громкость — саб не слышно, поворот ручки громкости на одно деление выше и уже бубнеж, который забивает АС. По высокому уровню саб адекватно реагирует на каждую настройку. Сейчас пока место найдено тут. Может, подскажете куда его лучше поставить?
Настройки пока что вот такие
А вот для окончательной настройки жду в гости Сергея)))
P. S.: Не совсем понял как регулируется фаза при высокоуровневом подключении. Подскажите?

Учитавшись местной переписки по этому поводу, купил себе REL Quake. Теперь нахожусь в некотором недоумении. Он у меня подключен к ресиверу Yamaha RX-V440 только по НЧ-входу (не суть важно почему, но для меня это существенно!). Фронтальные колонки — полочники Monitor Audio B2. По паспорту они играют до 42 Гц. Вопрос такой — следует ли мне задействовать кроссовер ресивера, «собрать» весь бас от 80 Гц и ниже и скинуть на саб? Или же мне стоит использовать режим Both (саб-сигнал идет на фронты и на саб) и настраивать кроссовер саба, чтобы он подхватывал нижние частоты, с которыми не справляются колонки? Прослушивание музыки не существенно, на этой системе я только смотрю кино. |

skretch #2 24-01-2005 01:08:27 Подключите так, как вам больше нравится… |

pluvas #3 24-01-2005 01:11:48 Если бы вопрос был в «нравится», я бы его не задавал. Меня интересует, как корректнее. Потому что в одном месте я читаю, что Quake не надо нагружать «высокими» НЧ (выше 50-60 Гц). В другом — что не надо насиловать колонки звуком, которые они не могут сыграть. В третьем — что в каком-то диапазоне сабу и колонкам стоит играть вместе… Я окончательно запутался. |
|
skretch #4 24-01-2005 02:03:01 В другом — что не надо насиловать колонки звуком, которые они не могут сыграть. Поставьте саб с 46Гц, подключите на колоночные клеммы уся, и поставьте на сабе противофазу. Расширите диапазон, а там и смотрите что менять дальше… |

pluvas #5 24-01-2005 02:09:25 Повторяю, советы из серии «подключите иначе» не канают. Меня интересует настройка системы, которая уже собрана. Что касается «расширьте диапазон». Диапазон чего? |

Сергей Воробьев Пользователь Сообщений: 540 www.nota.ru |
notaplus #6 24-01-2005 11:36:10 Василий, Вы используете только один способ подключения, а именно LFE. При таком подключении кроссовер сабвуфера не используется, так что про него можете забыть. Все что Вы подаете на саб с выхода LFE ресивера, он воспроизводит полностью не обрезая. Если Вы хотите убрать часть НЧ диапазона с основных колонок и передать на саб, попробуйте поэкспериментировать, как Вам больше понравится так и оставьте. |

Вася Плюшкин Пользователь Сообщений: 10 |
pluvas #7 24-01-2005 13:26:06 А разве в инструкции не сказано, что если переключатель Mode стоит в положении 1 или 3, то кроссовер используется для сигнала с низкоуровневого входа? |

вам следует провести настройку комплекта: ресивер, колонки и сабвуфер при помощи тестового настроечного диска и SPL-метра…. все остальное (как заметил Саблезубый и С.Воробьев) несущественно. |

Чушь. Кроссовер квака работает и с LFE. Это абсолютно точно. 2 Вася Плюшкин Система сабвуфер/колонки настраивается исключительно на слух. Если нравится, как играет — не надо ничего трогать. Настраивать, кстати, надо именно на музыке. зы: У меня на ямахе выставлено без среза на 80 гц. Люблю я немного понасиловать колонки )) |
