    The Bestselling T/5 Sub Reimagined as the Elegant T/5x

    No model in REL’s long history has sold more units nor engendered more affection than the T/5 powered subwoofer. Now reimagined in a modern, elegant, new form factor, the T/5x’s mission remains the same. It makes remarkable bass far beyond its modest size, and it does so in a way that complements every interior’s style, eliminating all visual distraction.

    Perfect for small and medium rooms, The T/5x fits perfectly into any décor. Down-firing is part of its secret. Bass energy strikes the floor and spreads uniformly throughout the space making it perform like a larger model. For people who are picky about style, the hidden bonus is that this design eliminates even the grill, rendering the cabinet the purest of forms.

    Classic Performance with a Brand New Look

    The T/5x reduces the classic 'cube' subwoofer to its bare essence. A single, high quality AlloyFibreâ„¢ composite driver and down firing orientation produces maximum coupling with the floor and eliminates the need for a grille. Power output is 125 watts RMS, but thanks to REL engineering, it sounds immensely more powerful.

    A huge advantage of the T/5x 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.

    The T/5x is the purest expression of REL. The company began by updating its classic 8" bass engine to a high quality AlloyFibreâ„¢ composite driver, which reduces mass, while greatly increasing stiffness. This improvement led to upgrading cabinet dimensions and wall thickness to better control the deep bass. Additional upgrades extended even into the design of the sub feet, resulting in greater speed and solidity to the presentation of sound.

    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.

    "The REL experience was wholly positive. One T/5x brought a step change to my system, the second incremental improvement. In both cases, bass went lower whilst maintaining seamless integration with the main speakers. The soundstage opened up considerably too — a concept I’d struggle with if I hadn’t heard it myself."

    "Two RELs sound better than one but if like me, you don’t have the floorspace then one T/5x is still very much worthwhile."

    - Phil Wright, Darko.Audio, September 25, 2021


    "The T/5x is a fabulous little subwoofer that grabs your attention for the sheer joy and engagement it brings to music. It represents one of the most effective upgrades I’ve heard to enhancing an audio system’s performance at the price. REL has worked hard to bring its acoustic design know-how to a wider audience and as the entry model to the revised T series, the T/5x represents a great starting point for music fans looking to give their favourite tunes a bit more oomph without breaking the bank."
