Stunning Design Meets Advanced Wireless Technology
The Arrow carries on REL’s reputation for elegant, minimalist design. Its sleek chassis and unobtrusive dimensions blend seamlessly with modern home theatres and hi-fi systems. Internally, REL employs proprietary Arrow™ zero-compression wireless transmission, sidestepping the thin, dried-out sound that plagues Bluetooth or Wi-Fi alternatives. Coupled with Large Scale Integrated (LSI) circuit chips, this approach slashes costs by approximately 30% while preserving near-perfect fidelity.
Key Technical Highlights
-
Zero Compression Transmission: Full-bandwidth audio with no loss or artefact, replicating the warmth and punch of wired sub connections.
-
LSI Technology: Cost-efficient integration without compromising dynamic range, noise floor or transient response.
-
High-Level & .1/LFE Compatibility: Simultaneous support for stereo (2-channel) and multi-channel theatre signals—no cable swaps.
-
High-Level Input: Accepts speaker-tap outputs from amplifiers, ensuring cohesive bass character between your main speakers and sub.
-
Natural RollOff™ Circuitry: Flawless integration with REL subwoofers for silky, musician-like transitions at crossover points.
Sound & Performance: Precision Bass, Anywhere
With the REL Arrow, placement constraints vanish. Whether you mount your sub behind a couch, tuck it beside a console under a mirror, or position it on hardwood floors for optimum coupling, the Arrow guarantees rock-steady connectivity up to several metres away. We tested it in both stereo-music and home-cinema configurations:
-
Stereo Listening: Precise, taut bass that seamlessly tracks rhythm guitar and double bass nuances, with zero latency or artefacts.
-
Home Theatre: Deep, immersive LFE impact on action sequences—mundane cables no longer restrict placement for maximum room fill.
Importantly, our comparative tests against legacy wireless adapters revealed a marked improvement in low-frequency extension and detail retrieval. The Arrow’s zero compression methodology preserves every octave, from sub-20Hz rumbles to the tightest mid-bass punch, delivering a truly reference-grade experience.
