Power Saving Efficiency
All REL Sub-Bass Systems are designed for maximum power efficiency, both when passing a signal through
to its resultant output sound into the room and also when silent.
In addition to the low power draw exhibited by all REL models, the TZERO also features an automatic standby
mode that is enabled when the power mode switch on the rear of the unit is set to the “ENERGY SAVER”
position. In this mode, the input signal is constantly monitored for activity (audio information). If no audio
information is detected over a period of fifteen minutes, the unit will enter a low power standby mode in
which less than three watts of power is consumed. When input signal activity is detected, the unit resumes
normal operation. By using the energy saver mode, you can ensure that there is no unnecessary power draw
when the unit is not in use.
Alternatively, the user has the option to leave the unit in the normal operating mode at all times by selecting
the “ALWAYS ON” position of the power mode switch. In this mode, the unit will not enter standby
regardless of whether or not there is activity on the input signal. Using this setting ensures that the TZERO is
ready to react instantaneously to bass transients, whether in music or movies, and is therefore the
recommended setting to achieve the highest performance
