Description
S/510
The REL Acoustics S/510 subwoofer design demanded upgrades to the ContinuousCast™ Alloy Cone, which allow it to survive massive power upgrades. In order to permit the driver’s aluminium cone to survive a huge 500 watts (and incredibly long stroke), REL have added an ultra-lightweight backing of pure carbon fibre. This was strategically placed over portions of the rear surface of the cone.
This addition has produced two benefits. First, strengthening and stiffening the cone. Second, to eliminate reversion, wherein the back-wave inside the cabinet is now prevented from interfering with the main launch of bass into the room. The result is more accurate and far louder deep bass.
REL’s uniquely tuned passive radiators use special suspensions – now with an additional 8 mm of linear travel – to produce performance unlike conventional subwoofers. The new SuperProgressive™ passive radiator produces extremely long travel, allowing for very loud output whilst retaining variable stiffness suspension. This allows the REL Acoustics S/510 subwoofer to act like a sealed box compact 12-inch design at low volumes and a high output 14-inch design at its limit.
The 500 watt NextGen3 amplifier is borrowed from REL’s former flagship model, and produces huge reservoirs of power and current. The 20% + increase in power (previous version was 400 watts) is needed to deliver the high output levels demanded by modern theatre. Also to produce the extremely deep bass in a high end 2-channel system. This increase in power is necessitated by our development on the musical front of an all-new circuit termed PerfectFilter™ that balance both frequency extremes.
PerfectFilter performs two seemingly disparate qualities: Extending the strong, even response of the extreme low end of bass frequencies, while simultaneously opening up air and delicacy in the middle and high frequencies of the system. REL also developed and applied custom PureTheatre™ filters, which allow S/510 to keep up with modern theatre effects, effortlessly.
