Folks,

This is the press release for the new REL Q200E. My sample arrives tommorow - I'll keep everyone posted as to its sonic ability.

Bass in another dimension - the REL Q200E

Bridgend, Wales: It's a fact that if you make something purer or stronger, you need much less to achieve results. REL has been carefully refining its craft to do just this. By challenging the rules of bass design, REL has delivered a radical product that almost defies belief. The Q200E is a revolutionary bass engine, developing enormous transient impact and bottomless depths, from a cabinet whose volume is less than a cubic foot. REL has refined and concentrated its legendary design ingenuity and quality to produce more bass from this tiny enclosure than from rival boxes two or three times its size. The secret is in a judicious choice of the highest quality components and the perfect balance of driver and amplifier for optimum performance. Power from the 200W fully discrete MOSFET amplifier is channelled to a new massively engineered 10" driver via a sophisticated dynamic protection circuit which maximises bass delivery and minimises distortion.

High and low level inputs are individually attenuated to allow precise adjustment for movie and music sources and REL's famous Active Bass Control circuitry ensures total control over frequency response.

In the unbelievably compact Q200E, REL's peerless standards of performance and design have not just been maintained, but measurably improved. The REL Q200E -pure, concentrated bass in another dimension.
