Please see REL Technology for a more complete discussion of the merits of using our Shotgun Theater Reference Connection. We strongly recommend using BOTH High Level AND the .1 LFE channel when used in a high end theater. When doing so, it is MANDATORY that the AV processor/receiver is set to “Full Range” in its bass management. Otherwise the bass signal sent to the REL will be limited before it ever reaches the REL. REL sub bass systems have the unique capacity to produce a seamless blend of main speakers, low bass, and .1 LFE. Providing all of this information to the REL allows for a much richer and fuller sound that is more natural as well as being closer to what the studio engineers were intending to be reproduced.
Everyone Recommends Using The .1 Input, Do I Really Need To Use The High Level Input?

Can we connect both low level input and LFE? I understand that high level and low level is not recommended but with active speakers you only have low level.
The Low Level and High Level run on the same circuitry which is why we don't recommend connecting this way. The LFE circuit is separate from the High/Low Level.
You can connect Low Level and LFE or High Level and LFE.
I have this question too.
I have dual HT/1205’s and was using the sub outs from my avr to the lfe of the rels.
But I’d rather use the stereo connect method by running rca cables from the avr to the rels then to my 2 channel amp. I prefer the sound for music.
But what do I do for movies? Can I connect the avr sub-outs from the avr to the lfe inputs in the rels? And if so what do I do about the crossover setting in the rel?
