Product Description
The REL Acoustics S/510 is a premium high-end active subwoofer engineered for audiophiles, luxury home theater systems, and serious music enthusiasts seeking fast, deep, and beautifully controlled bass performance.
Part of REL’s acclaimed Serie S lineup, the S/510 takes REL’s compact high-performance subwoofer philosophy to near reference-level territory. Designed for users who want flagship-grade bass without the massive footprint of larger reference models, the S/510 delivers explosive dynamics, exceptional speed, and breathtaking low-frequency realism.
At the heart of the S/510 is a powerful:
10-inch ContinuousCast™ alloy active driver
12-inch SuperProgressive™ passive radiator
500W NextGen3 Class-D amplifier
This advanced combination allows the subwoofer to reproduce deep bass frequencies down to 20Hz with remarkable precision, authority, and musicality. REL also reinforces the driver with lightweight carbon fibre backing to improve stiffness, reduce distortion, and maintain speed under high output conditions.
Unlike many conventional subwoofers that focus purely on boom and output, the S/510 is designed specifically for:
High-end stereo systems
Audiophile music playback
Premium home cinema setups
Fast transient bass response
Seamless speaker integration
REL’s proprietary PerfectFilter™ and PureTheatre™ technologies improve low-frequency extension while maintaining openness and spaciousness throughout the soundstage. The result is bass that feels textured, fast, layered, and deeply immersive rather than overwhelming.
The S/510 also supports REL’s famous:
High-Level Speakon connection
Stereo RCA inputs
LFE RCA & XLR inputs
Optional AirShip wireless connectivity
Multi-sub line array configurations
This flexibility makes it equally capable in:
2-channel audiophile systems
Dolby Atmos theaters
Music-focused stereo rooms
Hybrid music + cinema setups
Wrapped in a beautifully crafted cabinet with polished side handles and premium piano lacquer finishes, the S/510 looks every bit as refined as it sounds.
