NZXT RELAY SUBWOOFER PACKAGE CONTENTS AND DESCIPTION

• A Subwoofer x1
• B Power Cable x1
• C RCA Speaker Cable x1

SETTING UP YOUR RELAY SUBWOOFER

Follow the steps in this order to use your new speakers

• STEP 1 Locate the RCA cable included in the packaging of your Relay Subwoofer. On the rear side of your active speaker, find the RCA subwoofer input (SUB IN) and connect the cable to the speaker input on the back of the Relay Subwoofer.
• STEP 2 Plug the included power cable input into the back of the Subwoofer. Connect the the power cable to the wall.
• STEP 3 Power on the subwoofer pressing the power button.
• STEP 4 Rotate the volume knob clockwise. We suggest turning the volume knob to 12 o’clock (50%) and utilizing the volume on the sound source to dial-in an appropriate setting for your environment.

Adjusting to Acoustic Environment

Speaker Systems will sound different depending on the acoustic space immediately surrounding your desk environment.
To optimize the sonic potential of your new speakers, we suggest the following:

• STEP 1 Try to place the speakers so that the tweeters are aimed up as close to the height of your ears as possible. Place the subwoofer on the floor at a halfway point between the two speakers.
• STEP 2 Speakers closer to walls or corners will have a naturally high bass response. If this is the case in your environment, try moving the speakers slightly towards or away from nearby walls and observe the results.
• STEP 3 Pointing the speakers slightly inward will produce a better stereo image for some listeners.
• STEP 4 Depending on your speakers, room size, and speaker location — you’ll need to adjust the crossover and the phase accordingly. Your Relay Subwoofer has both sweepable crossover and phase adjustment, so you’ll be able to dial-in your subwoofer to your tastes. We suggest starting with the phase adjustment at 0 degrees and the the cross over at 12 o’clock (50%). Try this first and then blend to taste.

HOW TO CONNECT THE NZXT RELAY SUBWOOFER TO THE NZXT RELAY SPEAKER SYSTEM

Intro The NZXT Relay speakers include a pre-amplified subwoofer output in order to add a separate subwoofer. While not strictly necessary, adding a sub
enables a deeper lower octave audio experience.

STEP 1 Connect the subwoofer to the “SUB OUT” connector on the rear of the active speaker panel via any audio cable with a standard RCA connector. A cable of this type is included with the Relay Subwoofer.

Connecting the NZXT Relay Subwoofer to other audio systems The NZXT Relay Subwoofer is compatible with any audio system utilizing an RCA-style subwoofer output. Simply connect the subwoofer to the corresponding output connection. Refer to your speaker or audio device manual for more information.

HOW TO CONNECT THE NZXT SWITCHMIX

Using the NZXT Relay Speakers with NZXT SwitchMix
The NZXT SwitchMix, Realy Speaker System, and Relay Headset are designed to seamlessly integrate, and when connected together, they unlock the ultimate potential of the NZXT sound experience. The SwitchMix toggles between connected speakers or headsets automatically. When the Stand detects that a connected headset is docked into the storage position, it will automatically mute the headset and direct audio to the connected speakers. And conversely, when a connected headset is lifted from the Stand, audio to the speakers becomes muted and the headset becomes the active audio output.

• STEP 1 Connect the SwitchMix to your PC via the USB Connection.
• STEP 2 Connect stand to mixer
• STEP 3 Connect the speaker output of the SwitchMix (identified by speaker symbols) to the 3.5mm input of your Relay Speaker System.
• STEP 4
• If you have a headset or headphones, connect them to the front 3.5mm headset output located on the front of SwitchMix.

BASIC TROUBLESHOOTING

If your NZXT Relay Speaker system has no sound, check…

• Are both ends of the 3.5mm audio cable firmly pushed into their 3.5mm audio connectors?
• Is the volume level of the device you are connected to set to minimum or muted?
• Is the volume level of the volume knob set to minimum (all the way counter-clockwise)?

If you NZXT Relay Speaker system has no bass response, check…

• Are the speaker wires terminated correctly into (+) and (-)? If so, you may also notice a shift in stereo imaging
• Is your Relay Subwoofer turned on?
• Is your Relay Subwoofer’s volume turned up?

If your NZXT Relay Speaker system has a humming sound, check…

• That all connections on the terminal are secured.
• The screws are hand-tight and not rattling.
