Jeff Rowland with Rel sub


I recently purchased a Jeff Rowland Concerto integated amp. While the amp is incredible, I cannot figure out how to hook up my Rel Strata sub. Something is different about the Rowland that makes it more tricky or maybe impossible, so any help would be appreciated. When I contacted Rowland they suggested getting in touch with Sumiko. When I contacted Sumiko they said to get in touch with Rowland. Anyone have the same problem? Solutions? Thanks, Jerry

When connecting a REL to a differential amp using the high level input (the best choice for 2 channel music) you must ground one of the positive wires of the the supplied Neutrix connector to the amplifier. I believe the configuration is red positive to ground, yellow positive to positive amplifier speaker terminal and black to the negative amplifier speaker terminal for the same chanel (either left or right) you have chosen to connect the positive lead to. Double check the configuration; it should be in the owner's manual. Not sure if the Rowland is a differential, but I hope this info can help aleviate problems people may have hooking up their RELs
