QUAKE Subwoofer 100W Audiophile Sub-Bass System REL ACOUSTICS LTD
Perfect condition and working order
Retail price 450
Finish: Silver Brittex
With power cable.
Althoughsmall in size the REL Quake is powered by a 100 watt MOSFET amplifierconnected to a very long throw 8 inch drive unit rated at 150 watts.As with all REL sub-bass systems the amplifier is over specified witha military spec glass-fibre FR4 PCB using plated through holes, highquality discrete components and a hefty toroidal transformer.
Inkeeping with existing Q range products the REL Quake has the highquality gas-tight Neutrik high level input as well as line level RCA.A special feature of the new Quake is its extra connection for a PCin the form of a 3.5mm jack socket. This opens up a whole new worldof possibilities.
The REL QUAKE is an ultra-compact sub-basssystem designed for use singly or in pairs with compact satelliteloudspeaker systems and PC sound cards.
Many so-called’full-range’ loudspeakers cannot reproduce the low bass frequenciesfound on most music and movie discs, which are necessary for theaccurate reproduction of the original recording and help to impart anatural ambience that is immediately recognisable by listeners asbeing closer to ‘the real thing’. Of course, movie DVDs incorporate adedicated bass channel for the deeper bass special effects, but aproperly designed sub-bass system will not only reproduce these withaccuracy, it will also augment the output of conventional stereo andsurround loudspeakers with very low frequency bass that is feltrather than heard. The result is greater fidelity.
The systemwith a wider bandwidth will always sound more realistic andultimately more entertaining and stimulating. In many cases, the bestway, the only way, to add these critical bass frequencies is tointroduce a correctly designed sub-bass system, one which not onlyhas the technical ability to reveal the deepest sounds, but will alsointegrate seamlessly with the loudspeakers so that your system speakswith one deeper, more natural voice.
REL Acoustics designsand builds specialised sub-bass systems that do just this. It doesn’tbuild loudspeakers, it only builds sub-bass systems. For over tenyears, the evolving range of REL products has delighted audiophilesand cinephiles around the world, and received universal criticalacclaim. Its superiority remains unchallenged, proving that genuinesub-bass is a rare commodity, and only available from a specialist.
