The new flagship of the HT Home Theater subwoofer range is equipped with an imposing speaker with an ultra-light 380 mm diameter CarbonGlass cone exclusive to REL, which in turn is powered by an 800 watt continuous amplifier with linear power supply . The HT/1508 Predator also has the inherent appeal of its relatively compact dimensions, to the point of revolutionizing the life-size home cinema experience. As in the rest of the models in the HT range, the industrial design of the new REL avoids excessive flashiness to offer a simple, yet satisfactory aesthetic that combines grained aluminum with a sophisticated top panel. On the other hand, instead of mounting simple decoupling feet, the HT/1508 Predator uses rails to better manage the force it produces and thus offer optimal results in each situation. Designed to drive large displacements without distortion, the HT/1508 Predator transducer combines a low-mass, fiberglass-based composite material for the cone with an ultra-light carbon fiber center mass, all topped by a natural butyl peripheral suspension. . Special mention also deserves the internal amplifier, which with a continuous power of 800 watts ensures that the HT/1508 Predator is never forced and that even the most demanding paragraphs are reproduced without risk of damage. The REL also offers a celebrated exclusivity from the British firm: the possibility of stacking up to 3 units of its new subwoofer with the help of the “REL Couplers” coupling elements supplied as standard.
