REL Acoustics Predator

Description

REL Acoustics has a singular focus on subwoofers, and that is all they make. The company has carved out a reputation for unique design, artistry, and quality materials, crafting subs that complement the finest speakers. REL designs and crafts only subwoofers, and their singular focus is apparent in the pure, clean sound their subwoofers produce. Instead of overwhelming, REL subs provide a powerful sense of balance.

The Predator is devastating when used in dedicated high powered home theater applications and can also transform the serious gamer’s experience and partners beautifully with active wireless speakers for music reproduction.

We are often asked why so much power is needed. Eight hundred watts RMS loafing along means the Predator subwoofer is rarely stressed. When the movie scene demands it, having more than enough power means that the higher output levels are delivered safely and without the risk of damage. The amplifier output peaks at around 1200 watts, which makes for massive output. The power supply used provides a huge 1.2KW transformer coupled to a Class D output stage, meaning it runs efficiently. The Predator subwoofer demands only 20 watts of power consumption when at idle.

Another consideration is scalability. Another REL Acoustics innovation is the ability to “chain” a stack of subwoofers in some of their models. For example, you can stack the HT/1508 Predator, using up to three units high using included REL Couplers™ that connect lower units to upper units. The couplers are milled aluminum and bolt securely to each sub. Along with the substantial rails on each cabinet’s underside, the couplers create an extremely heavy, sturdy tower of bass. When used in stereo stacks (6 total, 3 per side), it represents over 7000 watts of peak power forcing (6) x 15″ drivers to give their utmost in the service of breathtaking bass delivered in oceanic torrents of bass.

REL products are only available in-store, because you’ll want to listen to more than one model.
