REL Acoustics 212/SX Powered Subwoofer

Description

212/SX

Whilst the REL Acoustics 212/SX certainly thunders and shakes foundations, it also resolves detail and restores midrange warmth to its correct balance. At 1000 watts through four 12-inch drivers, 212/SX drives rooms hard and in multiple modes which allows it to create richer bass everywhere in a room.

Refinements to the legendary ultra-fast filters and newly developed drivers produces harder slam and brings to life quieter, gentler moments, thus improving system performance at both extremes. The REL Acoustics 212/SX plays brilliantly with both high-end two-channel hi-fi systems and larger power theatre applications.

Lightweight carbon fibre blades firmly attached to the rear of each active alloy cone serve to both strengthen the cone and quiet it. The twin active drivers now offer an additional 12mm of stroke and also benefit from updated suspension geometry and greater power handling.

Plus, a brand-new double-spider, high powered passive unit on the bottom delivers floor-rippling low bass. The result is a major step forward in the 212 design, an already brilliant performer now playing louder with greater ease whilst better preserving the tiniest details of air and space with even greater precision.

The down-firing passive produces deep, floor-crawling bass that makes a room shudder. Mounted above the amplifier panel on the rear is the second passive. This unit produces wrap-around atmospheric bass that adds air and shimmer to the sound. Positioned on a rear wall or in a rear corner of a space allows for bass to develop exceedingly long wavefronts and adds an ease and effortless quality unique to single-box designs.
