Power up
Playing up to 50% louder than its already impressive predecessor, the REL HT/1205 MKII makes its presence felt. The all-new CarbonGlas 12 inch woofer is powered by a newly designed 500 watt, Class-D amp for seismic bass reproduction. Effortlessly reaching down to the lowest notes, the large woofer and high current amp have little trouble in sustaining the action. Whether it’s for music, movies or gaming, this REL subwoofer takes the thrilling experience to a new level.
Precision with power
Deep, punchy sound is just part of the HT/1205 MKII’s appeal. As you’d expect from this leading subwoofer brand, the HT/1250 MKII uses an array of PerfectFilters and a rigid cabinet to produce a low distortion, highly realistic bass. This means that a bass guitar, for example, actually sound like the real thing, rather than just a one-note bass sound. REL’s PerfectFilters include an analogue subsonic filter that minimises the effect of soundtrack infra-noise. This helps push the distortion threshold higher, maximising the bass unit’s performance.
Optional HT-Air* for wireless connectivity
If you’d like to cut out the cable, then check out REL’s industry-leading HT-Air wireless system. Unlike other wireless subs, the HT-Air uses a unique, zero compression, system developed exclusively by REL. Using a state-of-the-art chipset, the HT-Air wireless transmitter offers flawless signal quality with zero compression. Delivering a latency (lag) figure of just 16-20 milliseconds, it’s hugely superior to the more common Bluetooth method of wireless connection. Put simply, the bass keeps up and stays in time with the action.
*Available at additional cost.
Perfect proportions
Although it’s a bit of a monster when it comes to bass, the HT/1250 MKII is easy on the eye. Rounded edges and elegant feet reduce the visual bulk, making this subwoofer harmonise with your interior better than most. The black textured finish has an aluminium look which contrasts with the sleek gloss top plate.
Fully adjustable
A selection of controls, handily labelled to be read from above, make it easy to fine-tune the REL to your room. The level control establishes the volume while the Crossover control gives seamless integration with your existing speakers. If your room dictates that the sub is positioned behind you, then simply flick the phase switch and the sub corrects the sound to match your other speakers. If it’s tucked out of sight, then use the Auto power function for hands-free power-up.
Experience bass that’s not just deeper but purer, too, with the REL HT 1205 MKII.

Great looking sub
The Rel HT 1205Mk II has been connected to. Denon AVR X3400H and paired with Monitor Audio Custom Install Speakers. The room is quite large at approximately 9m by 4.5m and would probably be better served by the 15in version.
The sub looks fantastic with the Glass top and Rel Accoustics embossed below the glass. It was quite easy to setup although when using a single cable to connect to the LFE terminals you can be easily misled in to connecting to the incorrect terminal resulting in no sound production.
Performance is good but as I am breaking it in it has not been cranked but so far so good
