REL's Highest Value, Best Sounding, Most Affordable LFE Cable Yet
Don't trust your REL subwoofer to a lesser cable. Choose an interconnect that's made by REL to bring out the best in your movies and music with natural sonic balance.
The accessibly priced Commander™ from REL Acoustics is designed to deliver the highest value, best sounding, yet affordable LFE subwoofer cable to date.
Fundamentals Executed the REL Way
REL has over 40 years of experience on its internal cable design team and knows what works and what to avoid. While some cables rely on gimmicky features, Commander skips the fluff that drive up cost and focuses on the fundamentals instead.
The dedicated ground features two levels of noise-attenuation and a twisted-pair hot conductor made of 60 strands of 99.99% pure Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC). The result is a cable that’s both quiet and dynamic. Built to last for years, Commander’s rugged PVC jacket stays clean with a simple wipe of a damp cloth.
Luxury You Can Afford
As with REL's more expensive models, REL designed the Commander to have excellent full bandwidth performance. Commander’s signature is very slightly warm sounding and full-bodied, emphasizing richness of tonality. Research has shown that this assists subwoofers in the more affordable price ranges achieve a better balance of performance.
The Commander .1/LFE interconnect ensures your theater performs to its full potential. Honestly, you’re not used to such awesome construction and high-end materials at this price point, but that’s just how REL rolls. This is luxury you can feel, it delivers a sonic balance that is rich and full-bodied. The connectors feel amazing the first and every time, and Commander connects you to the emotion behind every scene.
Designed for Natural Sonic Balance
The Commander applies lessons learned from its more expensive stablemate Commodore™, offering commanding value with the assembly quality and sonic performance REL is known for. That makes the Commander deal for REL’s Serie T/x, HT/1003MKII, HT/1205MKII, and the Classic 98.
The materials used in this copper cable – selected for its natural sonic balance – are of very high quality, as are the connectors that were developed specifically for this project. These connectors feature a left-handed reverse thread twist to facilitate easy removal during periodic maintenance or during system upgrades.
Why Use an LFE Cable with Your REL Sub?
Why Use an LFE cable with your REL sub? LFE makes the difference. Cables are the neural pathways that connect our systems. Like nerve bundles, they carry the emotion that makes home theater so powerful. Subwoofer cables are essential, as they deliver the full impact of the low-frequency effects that define the movies and shows we love.
This is why Dolby requires every theater to include a dedicated subwoofer (.1/LFE) channel. Commander delivers a balance of virtues, including warm, full-bodied bass that effortlessly supports dynamic soundtracks and immersive effects.
REL understands how deep bass interacts with sonic events across the frequency spectrum, which has been proven out through more than 35 years of designing world-class subwoofers. That knowledge informs every aspect of REL cable design. Commander is the result – an affordable, high performance LFE cable that delivers the experience REL customers expect.
Color Matched for Any Room
REL customers expect more. Performance? Sure, but also thoughtful design and materials that go above and beyond the norm. That’s why REL offers Commander in both White and Black jackets. White blends cleanly into baseboards and lighter floors, while Black disappears against dark hardwoods or carpet. It's simple as Black and White.
A Better Ownership Experience
We’ve already mentioned the reverse-threaded barrels, but it’s worth repeating. REL pays attention to the little things that affect everyday use. Left-handed threads are used to attach the white or black outer barrels on our RCAs.
With home theater electronics, few things are as frustrating as having the connector barrel become disconnected when trying to remove a long-seated connector. So, REL designers designed these reverse-twist threads so that when you twist the connector to remove it from the AVR, the barrel becomes tighter. Simple? Maybe, but no one else has thought of this.
