REL S/812 subwoofer

Product Description

When REL began designing their Serie S, they set out to revolutionise subwoofers. They developed ultra-lightweight and extremely rigid Continuous Cast™ alloy cones for power and crisp clarity. They leveraged passive drivers to extend the scale beyond the cabinet size. They developed zero-compression wireless for freedom of placement. Airship wireless finally allows the final barriers between performance, placement and attractive room design to be replaced by a newfound freedom.

We encourage you to experience the sound and beauty of Serie S, it will change the way you hear music.

For the Rel S/812, every aspect of the previous generation’s inner workings were examined without regard to its critical and customer-driven success. They turned a fresh eye to power requirements, driver improvements, and specialty filters, upgrading each to extract all the extra performance possible. All this alongside the cabinet refinements necessary for those upgrades to emerge cleanly. This latest S range is a triumphant development that has exceeded every expectation.

The requirements were for far stronger deep bass output between 19-35 Hz, vastly improved theatre dynamics, and an even more open and spacious soundstage which benefits both music and film. They turned to their NextGen 5 amplifier, tuned to 800 watts, with huge reserves of power beyond this, added a light film of carbon fibre to the rear of the driver to handle the extra power, and developed two new sets of custom filters to extract the utmost in brute force and spaciousness. Finally, they imbued 812 with the ability to be stacked in 4- or 6-unit line arrays, just like their reference models.
