Industry leaders don’t rest on their laurels. Besides, relaxing has never been in REL’s vocabulary. For its latest standard-setting line of subwoofers, REL went back to the chalkboard. Serie T/i features upgraded alloy and fiber drivers, thicker cabinet walls for greater control, and an improved bass engine that reduces mass. These new models, and REL’s superlative Gibraltar, Serie S, and 212/SE components rewrite the rulebook when it comes to subs. SUBS FOR MUSIC REL S/5 Subwoofer The flagship of Serie S exudes majesty, grandness, and refinement. S/5 specializes in reference-grade reproduction of the most difficult-to-render musical instruments and passages. At home even in the largest two-channel and hometheater setups, it possesses rocket-like speed, visceral attack, tremendous slam, massive scale, and pinpoint refinement. REL’s LongBow connectivity allows quick, uncompressed bass to be wirelessly transmitted within the same room in sonically intact ways that Wi-Fi and Bluetooth cannot accomplish. A proprietary Continuous Cast Cone bass engine, carbon passive radiator, and superpowerful 550W digital amplifier round out this landmark design. SERIE T/i NEW REL SERIE S REL T/5i Subwoofer Ultra-modern subwoofers don’t come much simpler than T/5i. But don’t mistake bare-essence design for basic performance. To the contrary, the wondrously elegant T/5i uses minimalism— and stalwart Class A/B power amplifier sections—to its advantage. An AlloyFibre composite driver and down-firing schematic eliminates any need for a grille. Increased stiffness, upgraded cabinet thickness, and a lighter mass collaborate to both offer exceptional bass control and furnish the kind of lightning-strike speed, dimensional solidity, and soothing warmth that put the finishing touches on a worldclass system. The Absolute Sound Golden Ear Award NOW $2,200 WAS $2,600 NEW $749 black, white REL 212/SE Subwoofer REL’s most powerful and agile subwoofer, 212/SE is specifically made for large two-channel systems, grand rooms, and dedicated theaters—and to take cuttingedge loudspeakers to their absolute full potential. The 1000-watt 212/SE provides reference-setting control, speed, power, grace, energy, detail, structure, and, of course, bass. Any large sub can easily cause your walls to shake, but 212/SE remains unique in its ability to both restore and complement the harmonic, midrange, and even upper-end architecture of instruments, voices, atmospherics, and effects. “The addition of the S/2 into my system is a revelation, and instantly results in more drive and energy to the lowest register.” — Lee Dunkley, Hi-Fi Choice $3,999 black, white REL T-ZERO Subwoofer NEW REL T/7i Subwoofer NEW REL T/9i Subwoofer • Miniature  size, monstrous performance, masterful articulation • Forward-firing 8-inch active driver and 10inch passive driver • Lightweight 10-inch driver coupled to matching passive driver • Class D amplifier and robust main driver • Class A/B power amplifier section • Five coats of lacquer and solid aluminum feet • Precision-wound toroidal transformer •Enormous output, concussive power, pristine delicacy $499 black, white $999 black, white •Highest-quality input filters in the field $1,249 black, white REL Gibraltar G-1 Subwoofer Gibraltar G-1 redefines how a reference-level subwoofer should integrate into any music system. G-1’s 700 watts of low-frequency power and depth are not what you’d normally associate with subwoofer performance. It delivers the most physical bass response you have ever experienced, yet also improves upon all the other parameters of your existing loudspeaker system. Dynamics, clarity, soundstaging, lifelike portrayal of instruments and voices—the remote-control-equipped Gibraltar does it all. How can a simple sub do all this? This is no simple subwoofer.
