Compact sub
Ideal for smaller rooms and apartments, the Tzero MKIII gives you the famous REL bass depth and timing, but without the bulk and ultimate volume of their larger models. It makes the perfect complement to a small pair of hi-fi speakers, a compact AV system or even a soundbar/base with subwoofer output.
All-new aluminium driver for punchier sound
Always a hard-hitter for its size, the MKIII version of this classic sub is now fitted with an improved woofer, for even punchier bass. With its aluminium cone, the woofer combines the ideal talents of rigidity and light weight. This makes it fast and responsive, meaning you get a bass with a spring in its step, for perfect rhythm and timing.
Bass power for smaller rooms
Although best suited to smaller, rather than larger rooms, the Tzero delivers impressive bass depth for its size. Featuring a 100 watt, Class D amplifier, this subwoofer easily improves the response of most standmount speakers and even some smaller floorstanders, too.
Ideal for twin sub installations
Many of today's AV receivers offer the ability to connect two subwoofers in a .2 configuration. As two smaller subs provide a more even spread of sound and greater agility, this can be a tempting option for many. The Tzeros work especially well when paired, and make a great choice for stereo systems. Place a sub next to each speaker and be astounded by the bass improvement. With your main speakers freed from bass duties, they can dedicate themselves entirely to the mid-range, enhancing the vocal performance as a further benefit.
Separate inputs for Hi-Fi and AV
If you use your subwoofer with both home cinema and hi-fi, the REL Tzero is ideal. Whereas films often require the sub to be turned up for the greatest thrills, music demands a more subtle approach. For this reason, the REL Tzero MKIII has separate inputs for high and low level sources, and separate level controls for stereo and LFE .1 surround. This means you get the ideal levels for both hi-fi and AV, without having to change the settings.
Quality finish
Boasting REL's legendary build quality and finish, the Tzero has to be one of the most attractive-looking subwoofers in its class. With 5-coats of paint, the deep, piano gloss finish in black or white looks sumptuous. Smart aluminium feet keep it lifted safely off the floor.
For a compact sub with a powerful punch, the REL Tzero MKIII is the best yet.

Great sound for such a small sub
I have been looking for a small form-factor sub to fill-out the sound that I am missing from my bookshelf speakers and thought this REL would tick all the boxes.
I'm really happy from the audio perspective - couldn't be happier if I'm honest.
Something I am a little disappointed about was the connectivity. I am running monoblock amps to drive my speakers but this creates an issue when connecting to this particular unit. While I am able to cancel it to either the left or right high-level channels - the optimum solution according to REL - I am unable to do this with a monoblock setup. Having spoken to REL they suggest using either just one highlevel channel or take a feed from my pre-amp - but again this is a mono feed.
I have found a work around for this by purchasing a "Monacor 211930 SMC-1 RCA Phono Stereo to Mono Converter Audio Signal Adaptor" which allowed me to take a stereo feed and feed the sub with a blended mono signal, without feeding back to my amps of pre-amp, interfering with the stereo signal and/or damaging my equipment. It's about £30 and does a good job as far as I am concerned.

Enhancing my music experience.
I bought the REL Tzero after a. E mail conversation with the Leicester store team, I was looking for some base to enhance the bass guitars and lower end of the drums, the store offered some options and the REL looked the best with its twin circuit boards with one designed for music. I have set the crossover well up and added a little more treble in the speakers, it has added depth and feeling to my music without killing it with bottom end thumping, a great sub which has made the music far better, great advice from the team in Leicester and really easy to set up as it didn't need a sub woofer plug on the amp.
