Single Gang REL Subwoofer Wall Plate

Description

How to Optimise Your REL Subwoofer Path for Pure Reference Audio

Connecting a REL sub (such as the T/x series including T/5x, T/7x, T/9x, or S-Series) requires dual connectivity to get the absolute best out of both two-channel music and multi-channel film soundtracks.

1. Simultaneous High-Level & .1/LFE Connections

• The Benefit: Connect both high-level speaker signals (for music) and low-level .1/LFE signals (for movies) through one neat wall plate, keeping your floor totally clear.

• Key Feature: Houses a genuine Neutrik Speakon socket alongside a gold-plated RCA phono coupler, allowing you to feed both input channels into your REL sub simultaneously as intended by the manufacturer.

2. Premium Decor Matching

• The Benefit: Integrates high-end audiophile connections effortlessly into luxury living rooms without looking like an industrial afterthought.

• Key Feature: Handcrafted by AV Installs in nine distinctive finishes, including White and Black plastic (recessed design), plus premium solid metal options like Brushed Chrome, Polished Chrome, Brushed Brass, Polished Brass, and Gun Metal Black.

3. Secure Twist-Lock Architecture

• The Benefit: Guarantees a rock-solid, vibration-proof connection that won’t shake loose—even during high-output low-frequency movie sequences.

• Key Feature: The front Neutrik Speakon terminal utilises a heavy-duty locking mechanism that pairs perfectly with standard REL High-Level Speakon cables.

Technical Breakdown & Requirements

• Connector Configuration: 1x Genuine Neutrik Speakon NL4 high-level socket + 1x Gold-Plated female-to-female RCA phono LFE coupler.

• Solder-Free Installation: RCA pass-through is plug-and-play. The rear Speakon connector features straightforward screw-clamp or tab terminals for quick, solderless in-wall wiring.

• Back Box Requirements: Standard UK single-gang dimensions (86mm x 86mm). Due to the rear depth of the Speakon chassis and internal wire dressing, a 47mm deep back box is strongly recommended.

• Package Contents: Comes complete with 1x REL Single-Gang Faceplate, 2x colour-matched fixing screws, and 1x low-profile 90-degree RCA right-angle adapter for tight drywall pockets.

* Please note that we can custom-make any of our main plates or Dolby Atmos plates with the same REL subwoofer connections for a complete matching set.

Installation Tip

We recommend using 42mm minimum backboxes to accommodate the cabling. To keep the depth down behind the plate, purchase subwoofer cable with right-angle heads. Or use the gold-plated RCA adaptor included.

Use the 10 metre lead supplied with the subwoofer. If you get the lead you can use part of it in the wall and the speakon part as a flylead from the subwoofer to the connection plate. Reterminate using banana connectors
