Help with REL problem


Has anyone had a similar problem with their REL? I just purchased a brand new Storm III. The supplied Neutrik cable slides very loosely in and out of the subwoofer (is that proper?). Further, when hooked up as the manual directs in regard to the high level unbalanced method, with the red and yellow wires attached to the positive of two separate speaker terminals and the black to the negative, I get a loud hum, almost as if the wires are crossed. I tried in another amp (easy to ensure wires were not crossed using receiver with cheap plastic lock down terminals) just to make sure it was not that. BUT, using RCA cables through the other filter works just fine. Do I have a faulty cable, sub, or brain?

Thanks

Hi, just to chime in about the REL neutrik connector: I developed a hum from my Storm III after about a year of use and ended up replacing the supplied neutrik cable w/a custom made one. Hum has never returned. In my case, I believe the neutrik cable got loosened or unsoldered somehow.
