Minimal Footprint.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe REL Acoustics Planar PL-2 reimagines what a high-performance subwoofer can be. Designed for listeners who demand deep, authoritative bass without sacrificing valuable floor space, the PL-2 combines REL’s approach to musical integration with an exceptionally slim, architectural design. Its ultra-thin cabinet can be mounted directly to a wall or positioned close to it using the optional Planar Cart, making it an elegant solution for contemporary listening rooms, open-plan living spaces, and dedicated home theaters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAt just 5.7 inches deep, the PL-2 occupies remarkably little space while delivering the scale, impact, and low-frequency extension expected from a much larger subwoofer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInnovative Driver Design and Boundary-Coupled Bass\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAt the heart of the PL-2 is a purpose-built 8-inch FlatPiston active driver engineered to deliver substantial output from an ultra-thin enclosure. Working alongside a rear-firing 10-inch passive radiator, the driver uses the wall behind the subwoofer as part of its acoustic system. This boundary-coupled design reinforces low-frequency energy, helping the PL-2 produce expansive, room-filling bass without the visual and physical bulk of a conventional subwoofer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWith in-room extension reaching 24 Hz at -6 dB, the PL-2 adds depth and weight to music while bringing convincing impact and scale to movie soundtracks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eREL Musical Integration\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe PL-2 incorporates REL’s analog filter circuitry and signature High Level connection, allowing the subwoofer to receive the same amplified signal that drives the main loudspeakers. This approach is designed to help bass integrate naturally with the character, timing, and dynamics of the primary speakers rather than sounding disconnected from them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eFor combined music and home theater systems, dedicated High Level and .1\/LFE inputs allow both connections to remain in place simultaneously. The result is a versatile foundation for two-channel listening and immersive cinematic playback.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRefined Design for Modern Listening Spaces\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAvailable in Gloss Piano Black or Gloss White lacquer, the PL-2 complements sophisticated interiors without demanding the space occupied by a traditional floorstanding subwoofer. Its slim proportions, rounded edges, concealed cable management, and integrated wall-mounting system make installation discreet and flexible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eREL’s VIMAR (Vibration Isolation Material and Resonance Control) system is integrated into the mounting brackets to help manage unwanted vibration transferred to the wall. Built-in Airship Direct wireless capability further simplifies system placement by reducing the need for a conventional signal cable running to the subwoofer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eREL Planar PL-2 Key Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAmplifier: 550-watt RMS Pure Class D\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eActive driver: 8-inch FlatPiston long-throw driver\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003ePassive radiator: 10-inch rear-firing FibreAlloy radiator\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eLow-frequency extension: -6 dB at 24 Hz, in-room\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWireless capability: Built-in Airship Direct\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eConnections: High Level Neutrik Speakon, stereo low-level RCA, and LFE RCA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eFinish options: Gloss Piano Black or Gloss White lacquer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eDimensions (W × H × D): 25.6 × 18.9 × 5.7 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWeight: 44.6 lbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eInstallation: Wall-mounted or near-wall placement; optional Planar Cart available\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiscover the REL Planar PL-2 at Destination HiFi\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe REL Planar PL-2 is an compelling choice for music lovers and home theater enthusiasts seeking deeper, more convincing bass in a space-conscious design.
