COMPACT PACKAGE

For S/510, every aspect of the previous generation’s inner workings wereexamined without regard to its critical and customer-driven success. We turneda fresh eye to power requirements, driver improvements, and specialty filters,upgrading each-to extract all the extra performance possible. All thisalongside the cabinet refinements necessary for those upgrades to emergecleanly. This latest S range is a triumphant development that has exceededevery expectation of our design team.Our requirements were for far stronger deep bass output between 20-35 Hz,vastly improved theatre dynamics, and an even more open and spacious soundfieldwhich benefits both music and film. We turned to our NextGen3 amplifier, tunedto 500 watts with substantial reserves of power, added a light film of carbonfibre to the rear of the driver to handle the extra power, and developed twonew sets of custom filters to extract the utmost in brute force andspaciousness. Finally, we imbued S/510 with the ability to be stacked in 4- or 6-unitline arrays, just like our reference models.

Invisibly Upgraded

S/510’S BASS ENGINE

S/510 required upgrades to its ContinuousCast™ Alloy Cone to allow it tosurvive its massive power upgrades. To permit its thin, aluminum cone tosurvive 500 watts and incredibly long stroke, we added an ultra-lightweightbacking of pure carbon fibre strategically placed over portions of the rearsurface of the cone. This produces two benefits; it strengthens and stiffensthe cone and also eliminates reversion, wherein the backwave inside the cabinetis now prevented from interfering with the main launch of bass into the room.The result is more accurate and far louder deep bass.

Nothing Passive About This

SUPERPROGRESSIVE™PASSIVE RADIATOR

Our uniquely tuned passive radiators use special suspensions, now with anadditional 8mm of linear travel, to produce performance unlike conventionalsubwoofers. Our new SuperProgressive™ passive radiator produces extremely longtravel allowing for very loud output while retaining the variable stiffness ofits suspension. This allows it to act like a sealed box compact 12” design atlow volumes and a high output 14” design at its limit.

500 Watt Monoblock Within

NEXTGEN3 AMPLIFIER

At 500 watts the NextGen3 amplifier is borrowed from our former flagshipmodel and produces huge reservoirs of power and current. The 20%+ increase inpower (previous version was 400 watts) is needed to deliver the high outputlevels needed for modern theatre, as well as to produce the extremely deep bassin a high end 2-channel system. This increase in power is necessitated by ourdevelopment on the musical front of an all-new circuit termed PerfectFilter™that balance both frequency extremes.

PerfectFilter performs two seemingly disparate qualities; extending thestrong, even response of the extreme low end of bass frequencies whilesimultaneously opening up air and delicacy in the middle and high frequenciesof one’s system. Additionally, we applied customized PureTheatre™ filters toallow S/510 to keep up with modern theatre effects without breaking a sweat.

Stacked for Ultimate Performance

SERIE S LINE ARRAYS

In the real world, bass occurs with width, depth and height. By stackingup to three units per side (stereo or theatre main L-R speakers) the properperspective and height of sonic events are illuminated. This elevatesreproduction from conventional stereo or theatre to a floor to ceilingpanoramic, full scale perspective of each sonic event. Reviewers are lining upto marvel at the transformation of music and film into the full-scalerepresentation that REL Line Arrays uniquely deliver.
