REL No.36

Reference powered sealed subwoofer with a 38 cm 12K carbon fibre front driver and a 1,000 W RMS class AB/D amplifier.

No.36: the design

The No.36 is the largest model in the Serie Reference, for top-level stereo and home cinema systems. It has a 38 cm front driver with a 12K-weave Pure Carbon Fibre cone, a die-cast alloy chassis and revised suspension for wider, controlled excursion. It is driven by a 1,000 W RMS class AB/D amplifier, with a high-current power supply and a toroidal transformer of about 8.8 kg. In room it reaches down to 15 Hz (−6 dB).

The curved cabinet has internal bracing, adjustable feet and a twelve-coat gloss black lacquer applied by hand; the grille is included. From the listening position, the Reference remote adjusts level, crossover, phase, LFE gain and the dual parametric equaliser. It can be used alone, as a stereo pair or in a Line Array stack.
