Rel Acoustics ht/1205 mkII Subwoofer 500 W black

The HT/1205 MKII redefines affordable home theater subwoofer performance, delivering unmatched power and precision.

- 500-watt Class D amplifier

- 12" CarbonGlas™ driver

- Body is finished in a linear grain composite

- Home Theater Ready

The HT Series is specifically designed to meet the challenge of creating pure, exceptionally dynamic, affordable home theater powered subwoofers. The HT/1205 MKII is the ideal combination of a lightweight, modern 12" CarbonGlas™ driver (300mm) paired with a powerful 500W Class D amplifier that runs cool, producing stunning dynamics. In-house, we have developed specially adapted home theater input filters that produce extremely flat bass up to 20.

We set out to build the loudest and relatively compact 12" unit available for pure home theater use, and at a very attractive price. You will be the judge of how well we have achieved this, but the critics are already lining up for reviews. We believe the HT/1205 MKII is destined to become a modern classic with slim cabinet dimensions finished in an attractive, yet purposeful black grained aluminum look and topped with a beautifully polished 12mm thick top that serves to dampen vibrations on the critical upper surface of the cabinet.

For REL owners who already use our Reference, S-Series and T/i-Series subwoofers, designed for both 2-channel and home theater use, the HT/1205 MKII is designed to complement the .1/LFE output of their system and produce Extremely high output for chest-thumping home theater special effects.

Exterior Designer

The stunning new cabinet is custom-built; it features new textures, proportions and finishes never before seen in the category. The lower, sleeker cabinet borrows proportions from our new Reference models. Over the years, our experiments have shown that this translates into faster, deeper bass presentation, all while looking spectacular. Your eye is immediately drawn to the top panel, whose entire surface is finished in 5 layers of hand-polished piano black lacquer. A subtle REL logo floats within the top layer of lacquer while the body of the cabinet is clad in horizontally grained composite. The whole thing looks expensive, bespoke and tasteful. Plus, you can pair it stylishly with the T/x Series or S Series in large, fully immersive REL HT/3D™ setups.
