REL S/3 SHO Active Subwoofer

REL S/3 SHO Active Subwoofer

The REL S3 is the little brother to the Flagship S5 subwoofer, Offering much of the performance but with a smaller footprint, the S3 is designed to be used in slightly smaller rooms or with systems which cannot handle the output power of the S5.

Two things make this subwoofer special. One of these is the Continuous Cast™ Cone Bass Engine, this new alloy cone design takes the performance level to above that set by REL's reference product from a few years ago. The speed of this new design must be heard to be believed, offering smooth accurate speed and a depth of bass usually only available from larger models the S3 is perfect for those who want to push there 2 channel system to the next level. This superlative cone design has been upgraded in combination with REL's newly developed buffer system, sitting between the high and low pass filters in order for the cone to move at a much quicker rate, thus allowing for a more accurate and musical performance.

The second is the use of the optional LongBow™ Zero Compression Wireless Delivery Method, unlike most wireless subwoofers which lose most of the quality and depth by compressing the sound, the Longbow uncompressed system gives you the performance you'd normally only get with a cable. Aesthetically clean with the lack of trailing cables from your amp makes the S3 easier to place and easier on the eye.

At the heart of the S/3’s is a powerful NextGen2 400W digital power amplifier. The amp has been used in thousands of REL subwoofers over the years but when used with their new driver design gives extended lows as only REL can deliver.

Who is REL?

REL subwoofers are engineered to deliver deep, powerful bass in both stereo and multi-channel systems. Even full range loudspeakers can often not extend to the lowest bass frequencies, which reduces the impact and involvement for the listener in both music and movie playback.
