Remarkably Slim Design.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe REL Acoustics Planar PL-1 reimagines what a high-performance subwoofer can be, combining powerful, articulate bass with an ultra-thin cabinet designed for placement near or directly on a wall. Engineered for smaller and medium-sized rooms where conventional subwoofers can be difficult to accommodate, the PL-1 delivers the depth, scale, and impact of REL performance without demanding substantial floor space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAt its core, the PL-1 combines dual 6.5-inch long-throw active drivers, a specially tuned 10-inch passive radiator, and a 300-watt Pure Class D amplifier. Its innovative boundary-coupled design works in close relationship with the wall behind the cabinet to reinforce low-frequency output, delivering impressive bass extension from a remarkably compact enclosure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWhether you're refining a two-channel music system, adding weight and realism to a home theater, or seeking a discreet solution for a challenging room layout, the Planar PL-1 offers an elegant approach to low-frequency reproduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBoundary-Coupled Bass Performance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eTraditional subwoofers often require considerable floor space and careful placement. The Planar PL-1 takes a different approach, using the wall behind it as an integral part of its low-frequency design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eA rear-firing 10-inch passive radiator works in conjunction with the wall to reinforce bass output, while two forward-firing active drivers deliver the speed, dynamics, and articulation that define REL's approach to subwoofer design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe result is substantial low-frequency presence from a cabinet measuring just 5.7 inches deep, with an in-room low-frequency extension rated to 31 Hz at -6 dB.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDual Active Drivers. Serious Amplification.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe PL-1 employs two 6.5-inch FibreAlloy long-throw drivers in a carefully engineered configuration designed to provide dynamic, controlled bass. A 300-watt RMS Pure Class D amplifier supplies the power needed to reproduce demanding musical passages and cinematic effects with authority.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eREL's analog input filtering and PerfectFilter circuitry are designed to preserve timing, tonal balance, and the natural integration between the subwoofer and the main loudspeakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eRather than simply adding more bass, the PL-1 is designed to complement the entire system, bringing greater weight, physical presence, and scale to music and movies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeamless Integration with Your System\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eREL's renowned High-Level connection allows the PL-1 to receive the same amplified signal driving your main loudspeakers, helping the subwoofer integrate naturally with their tonal character and dynamic behavior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eFor systems with dedicated subwoofer outputs, the PL-1 also provides low-level RCA and LFE RCA inputs. This flexibility makes it suitable for a wide variety of stereo and home theater configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eBuilt-in Airship Direct wireless technology provides a convenient alternative to a long signal cable, helping maintain a clean installation. The supplied connection accessories and installation requirements should be considered when planning your system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesigned Around Your Space\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe Planar PL-1 can be mounted directly to a suitable wall or positioned close to the wall using the optional Planar Cart. Its slim profile makes it particularly appealing for modern living spaces, media rooms, and installations where a conventional floor-standing subwoofer would be visually intrusive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAvailable in black and white configurations with cloth or optional premium wood grille options, the PL-1 offers flexibility to complement a range of interiors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eREL Planar PL-1 Key Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eSubwoofer type: Active subwoofer with passive radiator\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eActive drivers: 2 × 6.5-inch FibreAlloy long-throw drivers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003ePassive radiator: 10-inch FibreAlloy, rear-firing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAmplifier power: 300 watts RMS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAmplifier type: Pure Class D\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eLow-frequency extension: 31 Hz at -6 dB, in-room\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eInputs: Neutrik SpeakON High-Level, RCA Low-Level, RCA LFE\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWireless: Built-in Airship Direct capability\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eCabinet finishes: Gloss Piano Black or Gloss White Lacquer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eDimensions (W × H × D): 20.6 × 19.4 × 5.7 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWall-mount bracket depth: Add 1.5 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eEeight: 41.6 lbs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003ePower input: 100–240 V, selectable\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003ePlacement: Wall-mounted or near-wall with optional Planar Cart\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiscover REL at Destination HiFi\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAt Destination HiFi in Los Angeles, we approach subwoofer selection as part of the complete audio system.
