Dual 12" CarbonAlloy™ active drivers + dual passive radiators • 1,000W Linear Class D • -6 dB at 18 Hz
Overview — REL Acoustics 212 Black Label Subwoofer
The REL Acoustics 212 Black Label Subwoofer is built for reference-grade stereo and large-scale theater systems where speed, scale, and authority must arrive together. REL pairs a 1,000-watt (RMS) Linear Class D amplifier with a four-driver system: two front-firing 12" CarbonAlloy™ active drivers, plus one rear 12" passive and one down-firing 12" passive. The result is immense low-frequency capability with the articulation and tonal integration REL is known for, including support for running High Level and .1/LFE together for music-and-movies systems.
