Get Scale, Speed, and Surface Area in Spades from the REL Serie S Flagship: Reference-Level 212 Black Label Subwoofer Brings It with Four 12-Inch Drivers and a 1,000-Watt Amplifier 

Equipped with four 12-inch drivers, the REL 212 Black Label is a subwoofer in description only. Fast, powerful, agile, and open, it plays as a musical instrument unto itself while functioning like a violin in a string quartet – a complement to the greater whole. Ideal for large two-channel systems, grand rooms, dedicated theaters – and designed to take cutting-edge loudspeakers to their absolute full potential – the U.K.-made 212 Black Label improves overall system performance at both extremes.

While most any large sub can cause walls to shake, the 134-pound 212 Black Label remains elite in its ability to both restore and complete the harmonic, midrange, and upper-end architecture of instruments, voices, atmospherics, and effects. Twin CarbonAlloy active drivers fitted with carbon-fiber center caps, two 12-inch passive radiators, a 1000-watt linear Class D amplifier with the ability to connect both High Level and .1/LFE, and the option of adding REL's amazing Airship Direct wireless connectivity turn the 33 x 14.25 x 20.5-inch (HWD) 212 Black Label into a world-beating component. The addition of stereo low-level inputs for interfacing with active wireless main speakers puts it over the top.

You've invested in a superb listening room and carved out a sizable space in your home to enjoy music and movies on par with the realism, depth, and involvement of an intimate concert. Now, complete your setup with 212 Black Label, which provides reference-setting control, speed, power, grace, energy, detail, structure, and, of course, supreme low-end extension. One listen, and the way you experience art will dramatically change for the better.

More About 212 Black Label
This is the most dynamic and powerful subwoofer in REL's Serie S range. At its core are dual 12" CarbonAlloy™ active drivers, dual 12" passive radiators, and a 1,000-watt amplifier, working together to deliver over 450 square inches of piston area and the authority to energize even the largest rooms. The result is bass that is immense yet agile, combining breathtaking slam with the speed, nuance, and tonal color that define REL. More than just raw output, 212 Black Label is the Swiss Army knife of the range. Whether anchoring reference-grade theaters or underpinning world-class stereo systems, it delivers unmatched scale and refinement. In stereo pairs, 212 Black Label can approach the authority of a full Line Array, offering massive scale in a form that integrates beautifully into both systems and spaces. An optional premium wood grille further elevates both design and performance.

Driver Development
For 212 Black Label, both active and passive driver elements were re-engineered to handle the massive outputs made possible by its uprated 1,000-watt amplifier. Dual 12" CarbonAlloy active drivers, fitted with lightweight carbon-fiber center caps, release more energy on every stroke, yielding speed and control at levels unheard of in earlier designs. To match, the dual passive radiators were redesigned with longer suspensions and greater excursion, allowing the system to traverse massive distances without strain. The result is a subwoofer that plays some 40% louder than its predecessor. For the engineers, the real triumph was refining every nuanced aspect of performance, made clear each time ultra-dynamic movie scenes or sprawling, complex pieces of music flow effortlessly without strain.
