Here's a video to help with the setup of the REL Carbon Special subs in a 2-Channel audio system.
The video is applicable to any subwoofer from any manufacturer, not just REL and not just the REL Carbon Special subs.
The video is also applicable if you're just using one sub, not a pair of subs.
The video runs through the setup process, getting the best from your system, choosing the main speakers, setting up the main speakers, etc. It runs pretty quick, so be prepared to hit the pause button and rewind!
Subwoofers should add more than just low bass in a quality audiophile system, they should improve the soundstage, detail, tonality, and give the sound more of a live feel.
This review of the REL Carbon Special subs should help you get the most from your investment.

Glad the one thing I am absolutely livid about REL S series subs is mentioned and everyone has the same problem. No markings/tactile feedback on gain, crossover just nothing. Adjusting 2 subs to mimic the other pair of settings is a royal pain. S series are not cheap either, costing several thousands yet the lower priced TX at least have notches you can count unlike the S series.

I would agree, that is the only reason I went with T series REL

No Eq either. Hahahaha 🤣

Dont understand why people complain about this one. I have 1x REL S812 in my system. Gain and crossover both have notches, so I am able to count the adjustments.... Cannot speak for other subs, as this is my first REL sub. And yes sounds absolutely amazing :-)

@@christianaltmannjohansen7309 what notches? REL 812 and 512 have no notches. Compared to T series with clear markings and noticeable notch S series is not even close. I have owned both T and S series and as much as the S blows the T series for performance, the T was much easier to setup based on what I just said. Don’t take my word for it go to your local audio shop and take a peek at the T series rear knobs and you may understand.

No mention of using a actual crossover, which I think is very important with sub for integration into a two channel set up. Glad you mentioned it here.

I find with my t7 i have a music position and a movie position; I just can't get the thing to integrate for both on my Marantz SR8015

@totalplonker824 Ай бұрын

That sounds quite puzzling, especially considering the two separate connections are designed specifically for this very setup.. high-level for stereo music and 0.1 for movies. Are you taking advantage of both 0.1 LFE and the high-level connection?

What's a good track to use for the setup?

@christianaltmannjohansen7309 Ай бұрын

REL recommends track 4 from the Sneakers soundtrack. I used some of Bilie Eilish songs.

With a pair of subs.............. Stack the two, centered between the Mains & all front baffles equidistant from front wall. ANY two separated subs will create cancellation & the 'sub crawl' is absolutely ridiculous. The ONLY reason 'audiophiles' don't stack centered subs is because it blocks their view of their gear which should NOT be between the Mains in the first place. Reggae, Funk & Brass 🔈🔉🔊

My subs sound much better in the corners. Each room will be different so no right or wrong.

@@tagtag-connected5263 IRL, right & wrong do exist. Or in other words, results must be predictable and repeatable. What happens in your room is neither.

If you are a serious Audiophiliac with a 2-Channel audio system there is no way 2 subs is enough to get the most from your investment to improve the soundstage, detail, tonality, and give the sound more of a live feel

REL subs are overrated and overpriced. There are plenty of better options out there in price and performance.

Thanks for your suggestion Bobby, but I’m not shopping for subs. My direct question to you since you specifically criticized REL subs was “what are the better options in price AND performance compared to REL’s”? You can use the reviewer’s model or pick any other REL model and price point that suits you. I bet you would be hard pressed to find anything comparable. Have a nice day! :)
