REL Acoustics Carbon Special

The Carbon Special sits between REL's standard lineup and their flagship models, utilizing a specialized 12-inch BlackWidow carbon fiber driver and a 1,000-watt NextGen 5 amplifier. It is designed specifically to offer reference-level performance in a more compact, manageable footprint than the larger flagship units.

It is designed to excel at both. Because of its speed, transparency, and the proprietary CS PerfectFilter technology, it provides the nuance required for high-fidelity music listening while maintaining the raw power and depth needed for cinematic home theater effects.

The bespoke passive radiator works in tandem with the active 12-inch driver to extend low-frequency output without requiring a larger cabinet. This allows the subwoofer to reach deeper, more controlled bass notes while maintaining a physically smaller enclosure.

Yes, the carbon fiber construction is exceptionally rigid and dense, which helps minimize cabinet resonance and coloration. This ensures that the sound you hear is the output of the driver itself, rather than vibrations from the enclosure.

No, the Carbon Special is designed for a wired connection to ensure the highest signal integrity and performance. It requires a direct connection to your amplifier or receiver.
