Congratulaons on your purchase of the 212/SE, a truly formidable instrument for the reproducon of
exceponal low bass in very large-scale music and theater systems. 212/SE is the next signicant step in
REL’s relentless progression towards becoming the best sounding, best-built specialty subwoofer
manufacturer extant.
REL have always prided ourselves on providing seamless mang of our subwoofer designs with any brand
and model of quality loudspeaker the customer chooses. This tradion connues on in 212/SE, ulizing all
the design experse REL are acknowledged for in our renowned lter technologies, as well as the truly
brilliant Limitless™ electronic limiters we employ that permit extraordinary output levels to be delivered
with lile fear of overloading the drivers.
Where 212/SE builds a new step in REL’s path is in the sheer volume and output a REL is capable of. Whilst
retaining all the subtlety and delicacy of classic REL designs, 212/SE will play shaeringly loud.
This capability confers signicant merit when paired with larger state of the art speakers in stereo pairs
of 212/SE’s (recommended as a wonderful improvement over the excellent single 212/SE set-up) and
especially so in large home theaters. Here, the 212/SE delivers copious quanes of explosively fast, hard
bass. Special eects delivered via LFE such as explosions by the latest movie soundtracks are delivered with
visceral slam. Meanwhile, the classic REL approach of using both High Level + .1/LFE permits richly natural
bass to wash through less ambious tracks allowing for greater enjoyment of the movie experience, no
maer the scale of the movie.
212/SE rearms REL’s relentless pursuit of delivering the best and most varied oerings among subwoofer
manufacturers.
