S/812. Compatible with G1 MK II.
Airship™ is our newest state
of the art zero compression wireless connection
for use with the latest Serie S and many more
RELs to come. Our goal with this design is to
wirelessly deliver a hardwired quality
connection. Designed for 212/SX, Carbon Special,
S/510 and S/812. Compatible with G1 MK II.
AirShip can also be used for high or low level
and .1/LFE wireless connections for subwoofers
from other manufacturers. Only the 212/SX,
Carbon Special, S/510 and S/812 are designed to
have the receiver bolt onto the back amp panel.
AirShip Wireless
Connectivity - The Purpose to Our Passion
We have prided ourselves on our ability to
deliver extremely high levels of sound quality
and rock solid wireless connection protocols
since our first wireless design over a decade
ago. Airship surpasses any earlier design using
a 5.8 gigahertz signal , a frequency previously
reserved for military use by the US military and
NATO. It results in the fastest, most
transparent wireless the design team has ever
experienced and verges on hardwired transparency
level. Ultra-high quality wireless confers a
number of benefits to the REL owner, notably,
freedom of placement. This permits extreme
performance without the cumbersome tether of a
cable, for ideal placement without being limited
by the length of a wire, which can lead to a
better sounding, less cluttered experience. So
now you can place subs in distant corners, along
glass walls, or on hardwood floors to ensure a
superior experience, sonically and aesthetically.
The Best of Both Worlds
- High Level and Theatre .1 Connections
Simultaneously
Airship permits simultaneous use of our new 5.8
gig connection for both HIGH-LEVEL connection
AND the .1/LFE needed for high quality theater.
In this way, both 2-channel music and
multi-channel theater are supported
simultaneously, meaning you can use your REL for
any form of music or theater without adjusting
anything further. Our High-Level input is
designed to accept the stereo (two-channel)
signals from the speaker terminals of your
receiver, integrated amplifier or power
amplifier(s). This has the advantage of ensuring
that your subwoofer receives exactly the same
signal as the main speakers, which means that
the character of the bass from the main system
is carried forward into our Sub-Bass System.
Along with our extremely fast, natural sounding
Filter Circuits, Airship ensures you receive the
benefits of REL’s superior system integration
since RELs are known the world over for their
perfect, rich integration without the ability to
sonically locate the subwoofer’s origin. For top
theatre performance, the .1/LFE circuit is
granted its own dedicated wireless channel which
allows for the largest, most dynamic special
effects in theatre to be properly replicated in
all their glory. Airship delivers 2 channels in
parallel, one for music and theatre in High
Level (or Low Level, increasingly needed for
active wireless speakers for example) and a
second channel for .1/LFE in theatre use. When
both are used correctly, normal theatre
transforms because the cold, edgy sound most
theatres deliver becomes rich and full-bodied.
Dialogue and atmospheric effects take on new
drama and realism because the full range of
sounds are provided every moment of the movie by
our High Level, whilst the .1 channel delivers
extra emphasis during the 15-20 minutes of a
movie that this channel is active. Truly the
best of both worlds.
Pairing Made Simple -
(No laptops or Apps Required)
We designed and engineered Airship to deliver a
simple, elegant pairing that operates as
smoothly as it looks. Just plug both in within a
few seconds of each other, push a button and the
Airship seeks out its mating receiver and pairs
with it. Standard time to pair is less than 5
seconds.
The Case For AirShip -
Freedom and Performance
For many, the ability to listen to the highest
quality of audio in glorious full range sound
while placing their RELs perfectly for sound
quality and best appearance has been a dream
beyond their reach. Airship finally allows the
final barriers between performance, placement
and attractive room design to be replaced by a
newfound freedom. Once experienced, you will
never return to yesterday’s compromises.
