USES
Using the T/5x
Purpose
- T/5x adds a compact subwoofer option to a music system, with an 8-inch active driver facing downwards. High Level connects to a compatible stereo amplifier, while a separate LFE input supports film playback. This gives a system used for both music and films a choice of the appropriate signal paths.

CONNECTIONS
Connections and system matching
Check the inputs and outputs against the equipment you already use. If you have a connection question, send us the model names or a photograph of the sockets.
Connecting and setting up
- High Level takes a signal from a compatible amplifier’s speaker terminals. Alternatively, connect a volume-controlled preamplifier output to the RCA Low Level input.
- The separate RCA .1/LFE input connects to an AV receiver or processor’s subwoofer output, with its own level control.
- Use High Level or Low Level, not both together. For High Level, follow the instructions for your exact amplifier, including any Class D, balanced, bridged or monoblock requirements.
Points to consider
- The quoted low-frequency extension is a manufacturer specification. Bass level and decay at your seat also depend on placement and the room.
INSTALLATION
Placement and installation
- Keep the supplied feet fitted and leave the space beneath the downward-facing driver or radiator clear. Allow access to the rear controls and cables. This model is not designed for vertical stacking.
- Try the available positions, then adjust level, crossover and phase while listening with the main speakers at your usual volume.
- REL lists the standby switch for 220 V units.

FAQ
Common questions
Can the same subwoofer serve music and films?+
Yes. High Level can take a signal from a compatible stereo amplifier, while the separate LFE input connects to an AV receiver or processor for film playback. The two paths have separate level adjustment. High Level wiring must follow the instructions for the amplifier you use.
What does the Australian price for T/5x cover?+
$1,599 is the price for one subwoofer, including GST, with a 3-year standard Australian warranty. Any optional accessories and delivery timing will be listed in your quotation. These warranty terms do not limit statutory consumer guarantees under Australian Consumer Law.
