REL S/812 takes REL’s medium chassis concept to reference-like levels of
performance and does so with style, beauty and devastating power. It
delivers incredible levels of all ‘round performance for both music and
film sound, gives customers a taste of what our reference models offer,
and does so at a fraction of the cost.
The All New S/812
SHATTERING PERFORMANCE BARRIERS
For S/812, every aspect of the previous generation’s inner workings
were examined without regard to its critical and customer-driven
success. We turned a fresh eye to power requirements, driver
improvements, and specialty filters, upgrading each to extract all the
extra performance possible. All this alongside the cabinet refinements
necessary for those upgrades to emerge cleanly. This latest S range is a
triumphant development that has exceeded every expectation of our
design team.
Our requirements were for far stronger deep bass output between 19-35
Hz, vastly improved theatre dynamics, and an even more open and
spacious soundfield which benefits both music and film. We turned to our
NextGen5 amplifier, tuned to 800 watts, with huge reserves of power
beyond this, added a light film of carbon fibre to the rear of the
driver to handle the extra power, and developed two new sets of custom
filters to extract the utmost in brute force and spaciousness. Finally,
we imbued 812 with the ability to be stacked in 4- or 6-unit line
arrays, just like our reference models.
