REL Acoustics T/7x Powered Subwoofer

"High Praise" for This Compact, Powerful, Agile Sub

REL's T/7x is the perfect "real world" powered subwoofer for most of us. It’s compact enough (and elegant enough) to fit nicely into any décor, and it has enough power to easily answer most needs for low bass power. It blends beautifully with the majority of the quality speakers on the market, while possessing the flexibility to work in specialty applications.

"It’s the one to beat right now," raves Alan Sircom in England's HiFi+ magazine. "Few do bass depth and bass speed like this subwoofer at anything like the same price, and for that alone it deserves very high praise, because that means the REL sub can keep up with fast musical transients played through equally fast and reactive loudspeakers."

There is an intense connection between performance and design at REL. Performance is everything, and it leads to the best possible physical design solutions. Using a gently rounded corner radius that allows the eye to flow over and see less visual mass, the design is modern and clean with no unnecessary adornment.

A huge advantage of the T/7x is its installation flexibility. You can either use various wired connections, or you can go wireless with REL's full-throttle, zero-compression Arrow system. No matter how you configure your REL, it is a superior choice for home theater, multi-channel music, and two-channel stereo hi-fi.

A Better Engine

The new composite alloy/fiber engine in the T/7x blends precisely the correct dimension of stiffening alloy with a fiber material chosen for its sonic neutrality and light weight. The combination is brilliant, exceeding the performance of competitors’ drivers that are many times more expensive. The forward-firing 8" active driver couples with a larger 10” down-firing passive radiator, again with carefully chosen balances of alloy to fiber. The result is seamless, effortlessly deep bass that blends perfectly with the main speakers.

Proven Power – Reliable Brains and Brawn

REL’s electronics are the brains and power behind its success. The "T/x" subs use the same Class A/B power amplifier sections with large, high current power supplies, precision-wound transformers, and an amazing reliability record that has powered some 100,000 RELs. You can't do better than a track record like that. But REL continues to set new standards with each new product line.

Zero-Compression Wireless with Arrow

Arrow™ is REL’s latest generation of zero-compression wireless, allowing you to go without cabling and connect by clean hi-res wi-fi instead (requires optional Arrow transmitter/receiver, sold separately). Super fast delivery of both High Level Bass and .1/ LFE with the Arrow wireless technology ensures the rich, natural warmth that only RELs can deliver. With a range of some 45-feet, Arrow permits flexible placement without sacrificing sound quality.

2022 Editors’ Choice Award - The Absolute Sound

"A special round of applause is due this mini-sub for music lovers. The T/7x is even faster and tighter than its forbear, yet remains tonally supple, with well-defined timbres. It’s also remarkably potent for a single, forward-firing 8” driver augmented by a quick-reacting, downward-firing 10″ passive radiator (and a smooth 200W Class AB amp). The sumptuous high-gloss lacquered enclosure with aluminum accents has inputs for high-level Neutrik Speakon (cable included), plus low-level RCA and LFE. A little classic."

"It’s the one to beat right now."

"Few do bass depth and bass speed like this subwoofer at anything like the same price, and for that alone it deserves very high praise, because that means the REL sub can keep up with fast musical transients played through equally fast and reactive loudspeakers. Couple that with the sort of depth to fill out floorstanders in this category, and it’s an exciting addition to the audio canon."
