REL Strata III Setup - Help


I have a STRATA III and don't quite understand the directions, in particular the mode selector. I am running a 2 channel system with Dali MS5 speakers. It is not clear to me whether the mode should be LFE or Line. Or if it should be "180 DEG" or "0" as far as phase goes. Reference page 5 of the instructions where they "explain" this. Just wondering if any of you have advice in this area? Thanks for your help.

One of the pages in the manual - which you can obtain online - gives step by step instructions. Get it and do it, carefully. It gives amazing results.

After work I could write this out this evening from memory! I don't have the time at the start of the work day alas.

If you follow the steps you can arrange for the sub to match seamlessly to the main speakers. My guests ALWAYS say this sounds GREAT but I can't hear the sub. Then I turn off the sub, and they are like OH.

I have REL subs in 3 rooms of my house.

As I recall, FIRST you test the phase by arranging for the sub sound to overlap the mains. ......

I also purchased a test cd from Stereophile that has a track with bass notes, 15 seconds each, at specified intervals. A test cd like this is IMMENSELY helpful although not absolutely necessary.
