Default REL wireless

Has anyone set up REL subs with wireless connection? Is there performance difference between that or XLR/ RCA?

I have mine set up that way and love it I currently have to pull mine out from the wall and push them back in after listening, so the wireless helps a lot. I haven’t noticed a performance difference and plan to deploy this set up when I get my dedicated room.

Thank you! I plan on getting 2 of their new Predators for my home theater and not sure of placement just yet. It looked like a great way to have them set up but wasnt sure if its only for testing or it will work as a permanent setup as well.

I use a wireless connection on Mr REL Carbon Special. The Airship II. No complaints on performance.

I am using Rels 3-D set up for my Home Theater and like it a lot. I am using the 1510 predator, wireless and balanced pinned to the front left and right speaker as well as connected to LFE. I prefer it to my JL f113 for the extra bass

FYI:
Long story but I picked up a pair of REL Carbon Specials recently.
I have been trying to get them to sound properly, trying to eliminate the "rumble" that comes on certain songs and tighten up the bass.
Mistakenly, I put the phase switch opposite one-another.
One on Zero and the other sub on 180.
Cleared up ALL the rumble and gave me a nice clean TIGHT bass.
Speaking to an expert on subs (not associated with REL) he suggested a 4 way sub setup, where each cancels the other.
Stated that the best way to adjust subwoofer resonse was using a phase dial (not a switch) Similar to the Swarm subwoofer set-up
