WHO IT IS FOR

Who it is for

Primary roles

  • The compact entry point to the current Serie S range, with stereo-pair and Line Array capability available for professionally designed systems.

ARCHITECTURE

Verified features, explained in system context.

01

Connection context

Inputs: High-Level Neutrik SpeakOn, 2 × Low-Level RCA, LFE RCA, LFE XLR. Outputs: High-Level Neutrik SpeakOn, Low-Level RCA, LFE RCA or LFE XLR. Wireless: Compatible with optional Airship Direct. Connection guidance: Class D, balanced-differential, bridged and monoblock amplifier connections require topology-specific instructions. Do not connect from a generic diagram.

02

Installation and integration

Maintain clearance for the down-firing passive radiator and ventilation. Use supplied REL hardware and matched S/550 units only if a Line Array is professionally designed. Measure and tune phase, crossover and level in the installed system.

SYSTEM / ROOM MATCHING

System / room matching notes

Connections, room context, installation and the listening objective are reviewed together before a configuration is proposed.

Fit to confirm

  • Two-channel systems using High-Level or Low-Level input.
  • Cinema systems using RCA or balanced XLR LFE.
  • Systems that may later be evaluated for a matched-model stereo pair or Line Array.

Known boundaries

  • -6 dB at 19 Hz is a product specification, not a prediction of response, decay or achievable level in a particular room.
  • Amplifier subtype and fuse values are withheld because current official sources conflict.
  • Line Array capability does not determine how many units a customer needs.

ROOM & INSTALLATION

Conditions to establish before specification.
