REL Commodore .1/LFE

Overview

The REL Commodore .1/LFE Subwoofer Cable is a dedicated single-ended interconnect built for connecting an AV processor or receiver's subwoofer output to the .1/LFE input on your REL subwoofer. Where REL's signature high-level Speakon connection ties a subwoofer to the timing and character of your main amplifier for music, the .1/LFE path is the standard route for the dedicated bass effects channel in a home theater system. The Commodore gives that connection a clean, purpose-made cable rather than a generic interconnect.

Engineering focuses on delivering the low-frequency effects signal from the source to the subwoofer with low noise and stable transmission. As part of REL's own accessory line, it is matched to the input requirements of REL subwoofers and is a straightforward choice for integrators who want everything from the same house of design. It terminates in RCA connectors suited to the .1/LFE input on REL models that provide one.

The Commodore is aimed at the home theater listener who runs a subwoofer from the processor's LFE output, and at anyone building a clean, tidy installation where the effects channel is fed separately from the high-level music connection. For pure two channel or music-first blending, REL's high-level cables are the more relevant path; the Commodore is the companion for the movie side of a dual-use system.

How the Commodore Compares

REL Commodore vs REL Bassline Blue High Level

The Bassline Blue High Level sits higher in the range and serves a different purpose. It is a premium high-level Speakon cable that connects the subwoofer to your main amplifier's speaker terminals so the sub follows the exact character and timing of your amp for music-first blending. The Commodore instead handles the .1/LFE effects channel from a processor. Many owners of dual-use systems use both, one for music and one for cinema. See the REL Bassline Blue High Level.

REL Commodore vs REL Bassline Blue Line Array Connector

The Bassline Blue Line Array Connector is built for linking multiple REL subwoofers together in a stacked or stereo array configuration. The Commodore is a point-to-point .1/LFE cable for a single connection between processor and subwoofer. Choose the Line Array Connector when you are chaining subs, and the Commodore when you are feeding the effects channel. See the REL Bassline Blue Line Array Connector.

REL Commodore vs Audioquest Husky

The Audioquest Husky RCA is a subwoofer cable from a different house of design with its own conductor and geometry philosophy. The Commodore is REL's own accessory, matched to the input requirements of REL subwoofers for the .1/LFE path. Both serve the single-ended subwoofer connection; the choice comes down to system approach and whether you prefer to stay within the REL ecosystem. See the Audioquest Husky.

Works With These REL Subwoofers

The Commodore connects to any REL subwoofer that offers a dedicated .1/LFE input, feeding the effects channel from your processor while your music-first blending can run over the high-level connection. These are strong pairings across the HT, T/x, S, Classic, Planar and Black Label lines.

• REL HT/1205 MKII A home theater optimized 12 inch sub that lives on the .1/LFE input, making the Commodore a natural fit for delivering the bass effects channel from your processor.
• REL HT/1510 Predator This 15 inch home theater flagship is driven hard by the LFE channel, so a dedicated .1/LFE cable keeps the effects feed clean and the install tidy.
• REL T/7x A music-focused T/x sub that also offers a .1/LFE input, so the Commodore covers the cinema side while high-level handles music.
• REL Classic 99 For a vintage inspired 12 inch used in a dual-use room, the Commodore feeds the LFE channel neatly alongside the high-level music connection.
• REL S/550 A high performance S line sub for a serious dual-use system; the Commodore handles the .1/LFE feed while you reserve premium high-level cabling for music.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the REL Commodore .1/LFE cable?
It is a dedicated subwoofer cable that carries the low-frequency effects channel from an AV processor or receiver to the .1/LFE input on a REL subwoofer.

How does it connect?
It runs from the subwoofer or LFE output on your processor to the RCA .1/LFE input on the back of your REL subwoofer.

Is this the same as REL's high-level connection?
No. The high-level Speakon connection ties the sub to your main amplifier for music-first blending. The Commodore feeds the separate .1/LFE effects channel used in home theater.

Should I use the Commodore or a high-level cable?
Use the Commodore for the home theater LFE channel. For pure music blending, a high-level Speakon cable such as the Bassline Blue High Level is the relevant path. Dual-use systems often use both.

What connectors does it use?
It terminates in RCA connectors suited to the .1/LFE input on REL subwoofers.

Which REL subwoofers work with it?
Any REL sub with a dedicated .1/LFE input, including the HT line, the T/x line, and higher-grade S, Classic, Planar and Black Label models.

Is it a good match for the HT line subs?
Yes. HT models such as the HT/1205 MKII and HT/1510 Predator are optimized for home theater and live on the .1/LFE input, making the Commodore a natural companion.

Can I use it with a music-focused T/x sub?
Yes, if the T/x model has a .1/LFE input and you want to feed a home theater effects channel to it.

Does it improve movie bass?
It provides a clean, purpose-made path for the LFE channel, which supports low-noise transmission of the bass effects signal to your subwoofer.

Can I connect two subwoofers together with it?
No. For chaining multiple REL subs in a stacked or stereo array, use the Bassline Blue Line Array Connector instead.

How does it compare to the Bassline Blue High Level?
They serve different roles. The Bassline Blue High Level is a premium music-first high-level cable, while the Commodore handles the .1/LFE effects channel. Many owners use both.

How does it compare to the Audioquest Husky RCA?
Both are single-ended subwoofer cables. The Commodore is REL's own accessory matched to REL inputs, while the Husky comes from a different design house with its own approach.

Do I need this cable if I only listen to music?
Not necessarily. Music-first setups typically use the high-level connection. The Commodore is most useful when you also run a home theater LFE channel.

Is it compatible with any brand of processor?
Yes. It connects to the standard subwoofer or LFE output found on AV processors and receivers.

Does it require any setup on the subwoofer?
You connect it to the .1/LFE input and set crossover and gain on the sub according to your processor's bass management. Follow REL's setup guidance for your model.

Can I use both the high-level and .1/LFE connections at once?
Yes. REL subwoofers allow the high-level connection for music and the .1/LFE input for home theater to coexist in a dual-use system.

What warranty does it carry?
It is backed by REL Acoustics for 3 years parts and labor to the original owner when purchased from an authorized dealer.
