REL Acoustics HT/1003 Active Subwoofer

Ooberpad proudly presents the power-packed REL Acoustics HT/1003 Active Subwoofer. For when there is simply neither the space nor the need for all the output of a larger HT model. HT/1003 applies the same approach as its impressive stable mate and scales it down by just a little. 10” high-powered, long throw driver and 300W means it has plenty of power on demand. This unit is meant primarily for high powered home theater applications, immersive gaming set-ups, and pairs nicely with active powered loudspeakers. Scaled down design, up-sized performance.

The home theater-focused Serie HT line is precision-designed specifically to meet the challenge of cost-effective, highly dynamic pure home theater powered subwoofers in a handsome, compact package that makes it easy to tuck a few of these into most environments. The HT/1003 combines a lightweight, modern 10” CarbonGlas™ (250 mm) driver, coupled to a powerful 300W Class D amplifier that runs cool, producing startling dynamics. Internally, REL has designed specially adapted home theater input filters that produce extremely flat bass down in the 20’s.

REL Acoustics set out to build the loudest, relatively compact, cost-effective 10” unit available for pure home theater use. Critics are already lining up for reviews. The HT/1003 is designed to pack a punch with the best value (quite literally) for your buck when building a home theater system, featuring: crisp cabinet dimensions finished in an attractive, yet purposeful, line grained black aluminum-look and topped by a 12mm thick beautifully polished top that serves to damp vibrations on the critical top surface of the cabinet. For REL owners already enjoying the Serie T/i or S subwoofers designed for both 2-channel and theater use, the HT/1003 is advance-designed to supplement their system’s .1/LFE output to produce even higher output, adding further depth to special effects to render a true home theater experience. If you own a REL and want theater to be remarkably dramatic, add in an HT (or a few).

Benefits of REL Acoustics HT/1003 Active Subwoofer: 

Bring On the Special Effects

HT/1003 delivers a tough, honest, purpose-built appearance designed to communicate its sole mission; extremely high output home theater at bargain pricing. The cabinet’s width is minimized reducing visual mass, whilst depth is maximized to produce the deepest bass. We selected tough, high-grade, horizontally oriented line-grained composite to wrap the entire cabinet. Easily handled, easily cleaned. Yet, the top surface that one’s eye sees is beautifully finished in 5 coats of hand rubbed lacquer, creating the visual appeal REL has come to be known for.

10" CarbonGlas Driver  

REL’s driver prowess is on full display with the HT/1003, a modern 10” CarbonGlas™ (250mm) driver that is both lightweight and extremely stiff. While many competitors drone along with relatively slow, heavy cones HT/1003 uses tough, stiff carbon fibre over 60% of the driven surface, backed by lightweight glasfibre. Naturally, REL uses true high quality natural butyl surrounds as they remain soft and pliable for decades—something REL owners have come to expect. REL believes the new 10” CarbonGlas driver sets a new standard for affordable, high performance theater-specific drivers.

Smart Power

300 Watts: To accomplish the single-minded goal of exceedingly high output for large-scale theater in a such a compact footprint requires a special amplifier. REL's NextGen5 Class D amplifier frees up interior space whilst running cool; this results in more cabinet volume and that translates into ultra-deep bass despite its modest footprint. 300 watts means the driver is never starving for power ensuring high output, delivered effortlessly in a long running, reliable design. Within HT/1003’s input filter, REL has designed specific inverse filtering to permit the CarbonGlas driver to extend much deeper than conventional designs.

HT-Air™ - Zero Compression Wireless Compatible

There is wireless and there is REL wireless. REL is well-known for having the finest wireless purpose-built systems in the component audio world. Though HT-Air™ is affordable, it retains the corporate fixation on zero compression and maximum dynamics. HT-Air is designed to leave old fashioned Bluetooth-based systems in the dust, delivery latency in the 16-20 millisecond range. This permits owners to place their HT model wherever it works best for you without resorting to unsightly cables being strewn across the landscape of your living room.
