lange slag luidspreker met
Metal cone en 12” passieve Carbon radiator.
34kg.
S/510 en S/812
Gegoten luidsprekerkorven, aluminium conussen,
ultralichte passieve radiatoren van koolstof,
high power NextGen klasse-D versterkers; het is
allemaal nodig voor het onderste uit de kan. De
twee S modellen, de S/510 en de S/812 leveren
volledige lineaire weergave van het onderste
technisch octaaf (20-40 Hz). Door optimale
hoogte- en breedteverhoudingen in combinatie met
stroeve sleevormige voeten lijkt de behuizing
boven de vloer te zweven. Voor een extra halve
octaaf zijn alle facetten in de ontwerpen
constructiefases opnieuw onder handen genomen.
Zowel mechanisch door dikkere kastwanden,
stijvere schoring en robuuste sledevoeten als
elektronisch met aandacht voor de
groepslooptijden (<8ms) en optimalisering van
het versterkerrendement (>95%). Het resultaat is
ultieme verfijning en transparantie in sublaag.
Optioneel zijn draadloze zenders/ ontvangers
voor de S modellen genaamd AirShip die een
24-bit digitale verbinding tot stand brengen. De
S modellen zijn voorzien van de REL’s unieke ABC
afregeling en unieke Set-Safe
overbelastingsbeveiliging. De kastafwerking is
een 8 laags handopgebrachte en handgepolijste
hoogglanslak. De S/510 en de S/812 zijn naar
keuze leverbaar in witte of zwarte uitvoering.
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.
Invisible
Upgrades to S/812’s Bass Engine
Pure Carbon Fiber Backing
S/812 required upgrades to its ContinuousCast™
Alloy Cone to allow it to survive the massive
power upgrades. To permit its thin, aluminum
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. This
produces two benefits; it strengthens and
stiffens the cone and also eliminates reversion,
wherein the backwave 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.
There is
Nothing Passive About These: Carbon Passive
Radiator
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. This allows it to act like a
sealed box compact 12” design at low volume and
a high output 14” design at its limit.
Warning: Power
Amplifier on Steroids 800 watts and Counting
At 800 watts the NextGen5 amplifier is borrowed
from our 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 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 one’s system.
Additionally, we applied customized PureTheatre™
filters to allow S/812 to deliver the most
awe-inspiring theatre effects ever offered in a
classic REL.
Serie S Line
Array
Stacked for Ultimate Performance
In the real world, bass occurs with width, depth
and height. By stacking up to three units per
side (stereo or theatre main L-R speakers) the
proper perspective and height of sonic events
are illuminated. This elevates reproduction from
conventional stereo or theatre to a
floor-to-ceiling panoramic, full scale
perspective of each sonic event. Reviewers are
lining up to marvel at the transformation of
music and film into the full-scale
representation that REL Line Arrays uniquely
deliver.
