212/SX
De introductie van de REL 212/SE is
niet onopgemerkt gebleven. Deze voorganger van
de 212/SX is vaak gelauwerd en won in 3
categorieën van “the most influential products
of the past 20 years” awards. Inmiddels zij we 5
jaar verder en de techniek evolueert. Door
implementatie van de laatste technische
ontwikkelingen is het REL gelukt om de 212
significant te verbeteren. De 212/SX is sneller,
heeft meer controle en is nog stiller dan zijn
voorganger. Dit betekent nog meer detail in
weergave, en zeker niet alleen in het laag. Nog
beter is de 212/SX in staat om ook de grotere
ruimtes voldoende onder druk te zetten. In de
kleine toren, prachtig in hoogglans zwart
afgewerkt, schuilen maar liefst vier 12” units,
twee actief aangestuurde en twee passieve
aluminium radiatoren. De actieve units worden
van energie voorzien door een NextGen5 Klasse-D
versterker met een uitgangsvermogen van maar
liefst 1.000 Watt. Het systeem is in staat meer
dan 110 dB per unit te produceren. Onvervormd
strak en diep laag, dat het gehele geluidsbeeld
naar een hoger niveau weet te brengen. Het
carbon fiber op de achterzijde van de units en
het PerfectFilter™ alleen kunnen het niet
verklaren, ook de aangepaste behuizing doet
wonderen. Wanneer gewenst is de REL 212/SX
draadloos aan te sturen. Hiervoor is optioneel
de draadloze Airship zender/ ontvanger leverbaar
welke een 24-bit digitale verbinding tot stand
brengt.

The Powerful 212/SX -
Quality Meets Quantity
At REL, a deeper understanding of quality
underpins everything we do. So, whilst 212/SX
thunders and shakes foundations, it also
resolves detail and restores midrange warmth to
its correct balance. At 1,000 watts with (4) 12”
(350mm) drivers, 212/SX drives rooms hard and in
multiple modes which allows it to create richer
bass everywhere in a room. Refinements to both
our legendary ultra-fast filters and newly
developed drivers produces harder slam and
brings to life quieter, gentler moments,
improving system performance at both extremes.
Plays brilliantly with both high end 2-channel
and large power theatre applications.
Double Down - Twin
Continuous Cast™ Alloy Bass Engines
Lightweight carbon fiber blades firmly attached
to the rear of each active alloy cone serves to
both strengthen the cone and quiet it. The twin
12” (350mm) active drivers now offer an
additional 12mm of stroke and also benefit from
updated suspension geometry and greater power
handling. And 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.
Sound Beyond Its Size -
Dual Continuous Carbon Passive Radiators
Our uniquely tuned passive radiators use special
suspensions, now with an additional 30mm of
linear travel, to produce performance far beyond
conventional subwoofers. Our new
SuperProgressive™ passive radiator produces
extremely long travel allowing for very loud
output while retaining the variable stiffness of
its suspension. 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. Coupling with
either the rear wall or the rear corner of a
room allows for bass to develop exceedingly long
wavefronts and adds an ease and effortless
quality unique to single-box designs.
NextGen5 1,000w Digital
Amplifier - Whoever said “Power Corrupts” Never
Heard a 212/SX
With incredible reliability in units now
numbering in the thousands, the Gen 5 amplifier
is a paragon of extreme power and reliability.
At 1,000 watts of output, plus the ability to
connect both High Level and .1/LFE
simultaneously with optional state of the art
wireless, 212/SX delivers the goods at scale. It
does so with incredible grip and control in the
extreme deep bass where most amplifiers get
loose and lose control. 212/SX has an almost
limitless sense of power, coupled with precision.
Where others offer brute strength, we deliver
massive power and every secondary category of
performance with ease and effortless versatility.
Deafening output in a concert video or
blockbuster movie? Check. Beautifully rendered
female vocals accurately placed within a stone
abbey? Check.
Futureproof Wireless -
Airship Zero-Compression Wireless
We seized the opportunity to develop a new high
resolution, audiophile-grade uncompressed
wireless system for 212/SX and our newer
offerings in the Reference range. Airship™ is a
new 5.8 gHz military-based wireless system built
into a monolithic LSI chip that delivers
incredibly fast bass. We ship full bandwidth,
not just bass, through this system that includes
(2) channels. The first channel handles our High
Level Input and can be used for both stereo bass
or use of a single channel with monoblock
amplifiers. Simultaneously, Airship will process
the .1/LFE channel necessary for special effects
in film so both RCA and XLR inputs are provided.
In the future, we anticipate adoption of more
active wireless loudspeakers reaching the market,
so we included stereo low level inputs. With
Airship, you’re ready for the future.
