REL T9x Active Subwoofer – The Series Flagship
The job of any range topper for REL is to deliver more of everything, particularly output and dynamics. The T9x is no different in this regard, as it delivers the goods in both music and theatre applications. T9x, however, delivers a level of intimacy, clarity and speed that means there are no longer trade-offs between the sonic balance of smaller models weighed against the power and scale of a model 9.
The all new T9x has even greater output than before, but the headline news is the way it sacrifices nothing in clarity and transparency to achieve this. At this price it opens the pathway for owners of high performance floor and stand mounted monitors and smaller panel speakers to enjoy truly full range sound.
Re-imagined, Then Re-engineered
The T9x is definitely one of the best looking subwoofers on the market, the high quality gloss finish and gently rounded corners give a modern, contemporary look whilst the compact design helps the T7x to blend seamlessly into any environment.
Advanced Driver Design
To achieve higher output with better control required a complete overhaul of the suspension components. By increasing the cabinet volume, efficiency has been improved yielding higher output for no more amplifier power. Less back pressure inside the cabinet meant the REL engineers could tune for a stiffer, better controlled driver suspension. REL retained the best aspects of the previous design, such as the aluminium center cap responsible for stiffening the lightweight 10” (250mm) cone while adding almost no mass. The updated combination produces considerably better attack and dynamics with greater transparency.
Premium Class A/B Amplification
REL have retained the signature Class A/B amplifiers used in every generation of Serie T since 2006. Reliability is the key to happy ownership and with some 200,000 and counting of this range leading long happy lives, Serie T9x owners can feel certain of REL’s standard setting reliability. The powerful 300 watt mosfet amplifier used in the T9x remains an icon with huge reserves of current and massive power supplies. Other small upgrades are found everywhere, new driver mosfets that open up performance and transparency and new methods for securing the toroidal transformers mean better performance and superior strength.
Optional Wireless Connectivity
Arrow™ is REL’s latest generation of zero compression wireless technology. Super-fast delivery of both High Level Bass and .1/ LFE ensures the rich, natural warmth that only RELs can deliver. With a throw distance of around 13m Arrow permits flexible placement without sacrificing sound quality.
REL T9x is available in a high gloss black or high gloss white finish
