REL T/7x 8" Powered Subwoofer Product Description:
THE PRACTICALLY PERFECT REL
The new REL T/7x subwoofer is the ideal solution for real-world listening room challenges. Diminutive and gorgeous, it tends to prevent disagreements about placement, instead becoming an integral part of the interior decor. The REL T/7x is artfully designed to blend seamlessly with many of the fine speakers available today and yet perfectly capable of delivering in unique or challenging situations.
Who is the REL T/7x for?
Medium-sized rooms, home theaters and the boldest desktop systems are where this beauty shines. The REL T/7x will win over listeners who want to push the power-on-tap boundary in any of these situations, and a pair of REL T/7x can fill larger rooms with surprising sub bass. With two subwoofers, a listening room’s modal patterns can be tamed more easily, although one T/7x subwoofer positioned ideally will handle most listening rooms with ease and grace.
A smaller room doesn’t always require a subwoofer with a smaller driver. The less a subwoofer cone moves, the more linear it is and true to the signal input -- essentially, the higher the fidelity. So it can be very beneficial for a system to incorporate a larger sub played at a lower volume, and this makes the REL T/7x attractive in all but the largest listening spaces.
A Subwoofer Filtered for Purity
THE PRACTICALLY PERFECT REL
REL subwoofers' legendary High Level Input connection and fast filters are a significant chapter in the REL story. Connecting via the speaker outputs of your amplifier without drawing any power from it may seem like magic, but the real magic lies in the way the sound takes on a natural character and blends seamlessly with your speakers. The new T Series subwoofers have unique tuning and special limiters making the REL T/7x sounds fresher, faster and more dynamic than before.
We consider the REL T/7x to be the ideal all-rounder in the T/x lineup. It manages to balance speed and weight of sound to optimize both aspects, and never sacrifices on absolute bottom extension - and it does all of this in a visibly synergistic package. The T/7x hardly breaks a sweat. Nimble and precise for an ideal sonic blend, it can plumb surprising depths given its size, and deliver volumes of bass beyond what most will ever need.
Designed to be Better
Many don’t realize the intense connection between performance and design here at REL. Performance is everything to us and it leads to physical design solutions. Thus it is, that our engineers, in recognizing the need for greater cabinet volume to achieve the goals of greater fluidity and power, turn to the designer. He works dimensions to fool the eye into seeing a smaller, more compact footprint, even though cabinet volume increases. Using gently rounded corner radii that allows the eye to flow over and see less visual mass. The result is both modern and clean with no unnecessary adornment.
Drive On
INNOVATIVE ALLOY/FIBRE BASS ENGINES
The 8” long throw active and 10” passive drivers are where T/7x derives its incredible speed and clean finish. A thorough revision of critical suspension components are responsible for the agility and suppleness of T/7x. The T/7x sounds louder and more powerful is expected, but few would predict it also is faster, more reactive and transparent than our prior generation, itself a paragon of virtue. Stiffer suspensions better suited to advanced duty mean not only can each driver trace minute details, but also travel farther and handle more power.
