Connecting a Subwoofer
REN is equipped with an RCA connector to provide output signal to a powered subwoofer. Simply
connect a single RCA subwoofer cable from the Subwoofer Out connection on REN to the RCA
input on your subwoofer. If your subwoofer has a stereo L / R RCA input, either left or right inputs
will work.
We recommend the Kanto sub6 or sub8 powered subwoofer with crossover and volume controls.
Most quality subwoofers oer these controls, which allow you to customize the amount of bass
you will experience.

Sub Mute
You can mute the Subwoofer Output on REN. This can be helpful in situations
where you want to listen to your speakers but don’t want to disturb the
neighbors with sub-bass.
To mute the sub output, press the Sub button. The LED will blink to conrm
the subwoofer output is muted. To un-mute the subwoofer output, press the
Sub button again. The LED will blink to conrm that the sub output has been
un-muted. The Subwoofer Output will be reactivated upon waking up from
standby.
Active Crossover
REN is equipped with an active crossover lter at 80 Hz to allow for advanced
setup with subwoofers. The crossover will reduce the bass extension of the
main speakers, allowing them to focus on the mid and high frequencies,
while reducing the high frequency output of the Subwoofer Output. If your
subwoofer has an adjustable bandwidth or crossover frequency setting, it
can be adjusted to the highest or most open setting.
The Active Crossover will automatically activate when a subwoofer cable is
connected to the Subwoofer Output (Labelled SUB). If the Sub Mute function
is activated, the high-pass lter on the main output will become inactive.
From any active conguration, if the Sub button is pressed and held for more
than 5 seconds, the state of the high-pass lter will invert to accommodate
edge cases.
