REL S/812 Subwoofer

The S/812 is engineered for versatility, utilizing custom filters that allow it to handle the speed and nuance required for music while maintaining the high-output impact needed for cinema. Its 800-watt NextGen5 amplifier ensures it can switch between subtle musical textures and explosive low-frequency effects without distortion.

Yes, the S/812 supports wireless connectivity, but it requires the REL AirShip system, which is sold separately. This system allows for high-quality, uncompressed wireless transmission to maintain the performance standards of the subwoofer.

The stackable design allows you to create a vertical line array by stacking multiple S/812 units. This configuration increases the surface area of the drivers, resulting in a more effortless, room-filling soundstage and improved bass dispersion that mimics the performance of much larger, flagship systems.

While it features standard RCA and XLR inputs for LFE, REL recommends using the High-Level Neutrik Speakon connection. This method connects directly to your amplifier's speaker terminals, allowing the subwoofer to receive the exact same signal as your main speakers for a more seamless, integrated sound.

The S/812 offers a low-frequency extension down to 19 Hz at the -6dB point. This allows it to reproduce the deepest cinematic rumbles and the lowest octaves of musical instruments with authority and clarity.

The 12-inch carbon passive radiator is essential to the S/812's design, as it works in tandem with the active driver to extend bass depth without the port noise associated with traditional vented designs. It provides the extra output and 'slam' needed to achieve reference-level performance from a medium-sized cabinet.
