Wireless Freedom Without Compromise
The REL Acoustics Airship Direct is a high-performance wireless system designed to deliver your music and movies with the same speed, detail, and authority as a hardwired connection. Built for audiophiles who want the freedom to place their REL subwoofers exactly where they perform best, Airship Direct ensures you never sacrifice sound quality for convenience.
Airship Direct doesn’t behave like ordinary wireless. Built around a 5.8 GHz transmission system, it achieves near-zero latency so your REL subwoofer stays perfectly in sync with your speakers. It transmits both high-level and LFE signals at the same time, so whether you’re listening in pure stereo or enjoying cinematic effects, the bass arrives with accuracy, depth, and seamless integration. The result is sound that feels wired, even when it isn’t.
REL engineered Airship Direct with advanced chipsets and robust error correction to preserve every nuance of the signal. It supports uncompressed 24-bit/48 kHz audio and operates in the less-crowded 5.8 GHz band, avoiding interference from Wi-Fi or Bluetooth devices. This ensures consistent performance and absolute reliability, making it as technically strong as it is musically transparent.
The Airship Direct system includes both transmitter and receiver units. The transmitter connects directly to your system’s outputs, while the receiver attaches to your REL subwoofer. Both high-level Neutrik Speakon and RCA/LFE inputs are supported, making it equally suited to two-channel systems and full home theater rigs.
The REL Airship Direct sets a new benchmark for wireless audio—fast, transparent, and uncompromising. It’s the key to unlocking true placement freedom without ever sacrificing sound quality.
