A slim subwoofer with 8" active FlatPiston driver, 10" passive radiator, 550 W Class-D amplifier, built-in wireless, and wall, cart, or room placement options

The REL PL-2 is a slim-format subwoofer designed to deliver serious low-frequency support without the footprint of a conventional cube. At only 5.7" deep, PL-2 can sit close to a wall, mount on a wall, or work with REL’s optional Planar Cart, making it easier to integrate real bass into rooms where a traditional subwoofer would dominate the space.

PL-2 uses a front-firing 8" long-throw FlatPiston active driver supported by a rear-firing 10" FibreAlloy passive radiator. This active/passive configuration is designed to produce room-filling bass from a shallow cabinet, with REL’s familiar focus on speed, timing, and system integration for both music and home theater.

The PL-2 is designed to be used wirelessly, and it ships with REL's low-latency and extremely stable AirShip Direct system. This setup is so effective that it rivals and even exceeds the performance of a hard-wired system.

Slim Placement, Serious Integration

Planar is designed around the idea that a driver radiating against a wall can disperse bass throughout the room. Its slim profile and near-wall placement makes it especially useful for living rooms, media rooms, and systems built around in-wall or in-ceiling speakers, where added low-frequency foundation is needed but floor space and visual impact matter.

Built for Music and Home Theater

In a two-channel system, PL-2 is intended to add weight, scale, and foundation without calling attention to itself. In a home theater system, it can support LFE effects and help energize the room from placement positions that would be difficult for a conventional box subwoofer. Multiple PL-2 units can also be used in line-array applications for larger, more evenly distributed bass systems.

The Upscale View

This is a serious design change for REL, and the initial response was somewhat skeptical. But hearing the tremendous wave of bass generated by this design-one that started and stopped on a dime-was thoroughly impressive. The wall-facing design of the Planars results in bass with height and depth, just like with the 212 or the six-pack. The Planars are not just a lifestyle solution for the home cinema customer; they are worth your consideration even for high-fidelity stereo setups.

Note that the cart that accompanies the Planars is a serious audio stand and is essential if you are not wall-mounting the subwoofer.
