The worlds
best-sounding subwoofers?
We and many audiophiles think so |

REL Acoustics of Great Britain designs
and manufactures high quality, award-winning sub-bass systems for use in
two-channel and multi-channel music and multi-channel home theatre
systems.
What is a sub-bass system?
Many so-called ‘full-range’ loudspeakers cannot reproduce
the low bass frequencies found on most music and movie discs, which are
necessary for the accurate reproduction of the original recording and
help to impart a natural ambience that is immediately recognisable by
listeners as being closer to ‘the real thing’. Movie DVDs incorporate a
dedicated bass channel for the deeper bass special effects, but a
properly designed sub-bass system will not only reproduce these with
accuracy, it will also augment the output of conventional stereo and
surround loudspeakers with very low frequency bass that is felt rather
than heard. The result is greater fidelity.
The system with a wider bandwidth will always sound more realistic and
ultimately more entertaining and stimulating. In many cases, the best
way, the only way, to add these critical bass frequencies is to
introduce a correctly designed sub-bass system, which not only has the
technical ability to reveal the deepest sounds, but also integrates
seamlessly with the loudspeakers so that your system speaks with one
deeper, more natural voice.
Rel Gibraltor G1 High End system
The G1 features REL’s most recent
exposition on amplifier topology, driver technology and
operational interface. Housed within a sumptuous furniture-grade
enclosure finished in gloss piano black lacquer resides a
massive 12” long-throw carbon fibre driver, 700 watt Class A/B
power amplifier and the award-winning REL connectivity suite
providing the most flexible and sonically transparent
integration, weight and low-frequency authority to the main
loudspeaker system. Employing an extensively braced enclosure
sculpted in a truly sensuous shape, the G1 is massive, yet
elegant. While it is physically commanding, its finely tuned
shape finished in furniture-grade hand-rubbed high-gloss piano
black lacquer will blend seamlessly into any interior
environment. REL’s vast engineering experience is evident in the
G1’s power amplifier. Featuring a linear Class A/B topology
employing no less than six MOS-FET devices, massive power
supplies and transformer there is no mistaking the G1 with a
common subwoofer. Execution of build and component part choice
is first-class resulting in extensive ruggedness and
reliability. Mated to this massive power plant is a tight-wind
carbon fibre 12” drive unit capable of an exceptional pistonic
stroke of 1-3/4 inches! This costly drive unit was necessary in
order to generate the ultimate in loudness required to underpin
today’s great high-performance main loudspeakers. Available in
Black Gloss, carbon gray and Cherry finish

Rel 218
Series R was conceived as a maximum
value proposition in the entire REL product range possessing
many of the performance attributes of our legendary Reference
Sub-Bass Systems, yet realized to be more compact and
affordable. This fresh design approach offers superiority in all
regards over the previous R-Series through improved
amplification, vastly better filter networks and upgraded
cabinet and driver designs.
Models R-528 and R-328 feature both active front-firing and a
down-firing passive radiator while R-218 employs a single active
driver in the down-firing configuration. The range excels in
drive, extension, ease and musicality wherein their speed mixes
with the greater body and heft to produce an altogether more
profound musical event.

designed long throw drivers, the 12" active one firing forward,
the 10" passive one firing downwards.
With re-designed active filters and phase controls, more rigid

Rel 305
REL Acoustics R-Series represents the perfect
intersection of style, performance, and size. R-Series is
intended to provide its owner with a high performance platform
that outperforms the competition, yet provides a level of fit,
finish and thoughtfulness long absent from the category.
Details, details! It has been said that “God lives in the
details”; if that is so then the engineers at REL should
consider themselves in good standing. Consider the previously
challenging detail of adjusting performance parameters of a sub
bass unit. On most competitors’ models, this requires bending
over the unit whilst attempting to read the labels on the rear
panel upside down! In contrast, the exquisitely crafted control
box –sited just below the main body of the R– allows for easy
adjustment. Simply remove the thick frosted safety glass
security panel (a full 8mm thick), make a few simple adjustments
and you’re done.
