S/812
In developing the REL Acoustics S/812, the requirements were for far stronger deep bass output between 19-35 Hz, vastly improved theatre dynamics, and an even more open and spacious sound field.
The 800 Watt NextGen5 amplifier is borrowed from REL reference models and rocks huge reservoirs of power and current. The 45% increase in power (previous version was 500 watts) is needed to deliver both the profound output levels needed for modern theatre, as well as to produce the deepest bass in a high-end 2-channel system.
This increase in power is necessitated by the development of an all-new circuit termed PerfectFilter™ that balance both frequency extremes.
The PerfectFilter™ circuit 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 one’s system.
In addition REL applied tailored PureTheatre™ filters to allow the REL Acoustics S/812 to deliver the most awe-inspiring theatre effects ever offered in a classic REL.
S/812 also required upgrades to its ContinuousCast™ Alloy Cone to allow it to survive the massive power upgrades. To permit the thin, aluminium cone to survive 800 watts and incredibly long stroke, we added an ultra-lightweight backing of pure carbon fibre, strategically placed over portions of the rear surface of the cone.
The uniquely tuned passive radiators use special suspensions, now with an additional 30 mm of linear travel, to produce performance far beyond conventional subwoofers, whilst the new SuperProgressive™ passive radiator produces extremely long travel allowing for very loud output while retaining the variable stiffness of its suspension.
