Product Information
Designed to perform at the highest level, the REL S/850 delivers bass with the ultimate grace.
The bass standard
With an incredible 850 watt power output and a mighty woofer system, the REL S/850 is fit for the finest home cinema and hi-fi systems. Bass is not just deep and loud but instantaneous and ever ready to strike when the soundtrack or music demands. Optional wireless connectivity* adds to its versatility, with support for both high-level and .1/LFE connections as standard. Luxuriously finished and with the option of a wooden grille, it stands apart from the crowd.
The deepest bass
For incredible power handling, the S/850 comes fitted with a highly sophisticated woofer. The CarbonAlloy woofer is both light and rigid, meaning that you get to experience explosive bass that’s both deep and agile. The main driver is backed by a down-firing, passive 12” cone that improves bass efficiency and also helps spread the bass further around the room.
Pure power
REL’s Linear Class D amplifier produces an outstanding 850 watts of dynamite from this incredible subwoofer. The near limitless power ensures that you get room-filling bass, even at higher volume levels and in larger rooms. Whatever the volume, the effortless power delivers a searing, dynamic response, effortlessly recreating every ‘jump moment’ to its maximum effect.
Stackable for next-level bass immersion
Stackable at up to three units per side, the S/850 six-pack utterly transforms your sonic experience. Just as you’d expect, the six-pack bass system delivers ground-shaking bass, whatever the volume. More than this, though, the addition of bass stacks delivers a more immersive bass with a more natural perspective. Use in a Dolby Atmos or similar 3D surround system and you’ll find that overhead effects have greatly increased realism and ‘heft’.
Separate levels pre-set for your hi-fi and home cinema
If you use your subwoofer for both home cinema and hi-fi, the REL S/850 is ideal. Traditionally, the problem with using a sub with both home cinema and music systems is the difference in presence required. Whereas films often require the sub to be turned up for the greatest thrills, music demands a more subtle approach. With the REL S/850, you get separate level controls for stereo and LFE .1 surround. This means you get the ideal levels for both hi-fi and AV, without the need to constantly change the settings.
Wireless capable*
Add the optional REL AirShip II system and make this REL wireless. REL’s wireless systems offer zero compression, wireless connection for the ultimate balance of sound quality and convenience. The AirShip II supports both High-Level connection and .1/LFE signals, making it one of the best wireless subwoofer systems available.
*Wireless operation requires the REL AirShip II wireless system, available at additional cost.
Stunning style
With REL's legendary build quality and finish, the S/850 is one of the most attractive-looking subwoofers in its class. Featuring a deep, piano gloss lacquer finish and metallic insert carry handles, this is one subwoofer you'll be proud to have on show. For added retro appeal, there’s also an optional wood grille available at additional cost.
Feel every moment of the action, with the REL S/850.
