Sound Reimagined: The New REL Serie S Subwoofers Redefine Bass Performance

REL Acoustics has long been a benchmark in the world of high-performance subwoofers, and with the launch of the new Serie S, the brand has completely reimagined one of its most iconic lines. Designed to deliver deeper, faster, and more controlled bass, the Serie S range combines cutting-edge engineering with refined aesthetics, transforming both music listening and home theater experiences.

What's New in the REL Serie S

The Serie S is not just an update—it's a reinvention. Cabinets are now wider and lower for a more commanding presence. Drivers have been re-engineered for speed, control, and depth, while amplifiers pull from REL's Reference range to provide vast reserves of effortless power.

Key upgrades include:

1. Faster, lighter drivers with carbon-fibre refinements

2. Redesigned passive radiators with greater travel

3. Amplifiers with expanded headroom and precision control

4. New cabinet designs for improved scale and presence

5. Choice of cloth or sculpted premium wood grilles

6. Airship Direct™ wireless compatibility across the range

The result? Bass that integrates seamlessly, with nuance and scale that enhances everything from delicate musical passages to the most demanding blockbuster soundtracks
