Bassline Blue is a sensibly-dimensioned cable, well-constructed so that it will improve the overall sound of every aspect of the host systems performance. As with any REL productthe improvement extends well beyond the obvious bass region. The greatest area of improvement lies in the manner in which the entire soundstage is illuminated. This is a quality quite different from brightness. Illumination acts to bring light into the stage and renders contrast and clarity as well as dynamic shadings much more evident.
Beyond optimizing the geometry of the internal lay of the cable,REL also employs copper that exceeds industry practices and is of a quality and type generally specified for military use and high speed telecommunications. Bassline Blue is constructed of slow-drawn, high purity copper, drawn in a nitrogen bath to minimize impurities on the surface of the wire. Each individual conductor is coated in a Teflon film immediately upon leaving the extrusion die to ensure that impurities cannot impinge on the cable while awaiting further processing. This technique produces a sound that is exceptionally pure and natural whichis termed Natural DrawnTMwire.
Bassline Blue is hand constructed atREL’s California facility using cable produced exclusively to RELs specification by a North American OEM wire and cable house. Construction is quite labor intensive and can require up to one hour per cable.REL uses pure silver solder for all connections which ensures not just high quality sound, but also as the cable ages and oxidation sets in sonic degradation should be nil due to the conductive properties of pure silver.
REL employ Swiss-made Neutrik SpeakOn connectors at the input to the REL sub bass system. In over 100,000 RELs in use the world over, this connector has proven itself reliable, neutral and a mechanically ideal connector for RELs renowned High Level Input circuitry. BLUEalso features high quality spade lugs coated in gold to minimize oxidation. Should your amplifier require a bare wire connection, this is easily accommodated by manually re-terminating the individual red, black and yellow leads.
The standard high-level hookup procedure is: attach the red wire to the amplifiers right positive speaker output terminal; attach the yellow wire to the amplifiers left positive speaker output terminal; attach the black wire to whichever of the amplifiers ground output terminals is convenient; plug the Speakon connector into the Sub-Bass systems high-level input.
