ℹ Product Information

T/5x - Active Subwoofer

Unveiling the T/5x - Active Subwoofer, an elegant reinvention of REL's most popular model, the T/5, which sold in droves and won over countless hearts thanks to its mighty bass performance and discrete presence. Consistent with T5 series' original mission, the T/5x is designed to deliver phenomenally powerful bass, way beyond its compact size, in an aesthetically pleasing form that will seamlessly fit into and enhance any interior design aesthetic - the perfection of sound and sight.

Standing equally well in small and medium-sized rooms, this subwoofer blends in effortlessly, yet stands out performance-wise. It houses a cunningly concealed secret - its floor-firing mechanism allows bass energy to strike the floor, spreading uniformly throughout the room, mimicking the performance of a larger model.

Far from being just a sight for the eyes, the T/5x flaunts a cleverly crafted design, which diminishes even the grill for the purest form. Uniquely, its slightly larger-in-volume design appears smaller due to shrewd design alterations aimed at lowering visual intrusion. Completing the makeover, five coats of hand-polished lacquer in High Gloss White or Piano Black, make this divine creation an irresistible addition to your tech artillery.

And it doesn’t stop there - the T/5x is not only about looks but also about delivering high-level performance that leaves you enamored. It utilizes an 8” long-throw bass engine that flawlessly captures minute details and produces energy that brings about deep, surprising depths for its size. Equipped with 125W Class A/B amplifiers, the T/5x aids in maintaining a perfect transition from the speaker to the subwoofer, offering more power and enhanced finesse. Fear not a dip in the legendary reliability of REL, as key components have been upgraded without impacting the well-renowned dependability.

With REL's T/5x, you're getting not just a subwoofer, but a masterstroke of design and engineering brilliance, which delivers stunning visuals, jaw-dropping performance, and ceaseless reliability. Don't just listen to music, feel it with the T/5x.

Features & Benefits:

  1. Remarkable Bass Performance: The T/5x uses a single long-throw 8" bass engine, showcasing an impressive ability to produce powerful, deep bass far beyond its size. This feature steals the show by capturing minute details and amps up the energy, providing you with an unexpected depth of sound, keeping your music, gaming, and movie experiences riveting and immersive. Rediscover your favorite songs with T/5x’s exceptional bass reproduction encompassing the floor and room.

  2. Aesthetically Pleasing Design: As much a treat for the eyes as for the ears, this subwoofer eliminates visual distractions with a sleek, grill-less design. Finished in either High Gloss White or Piano Black, the five coats of hand-polished lacquer add a sophisticated shine to the softly rounded cabinet. The deceiving size manages to house increased acoustic volume while appearing smaller - a masterstroke of engrossing aesthetics and brilliant engineering.

  3. Amplified Power & Dependability: Powered with dependable and powerful 125W Class A/B amplifiers, the T/5x has undergone significant upgrades internally improving transparency and speed without compromising on REL's renowned reliability. This powerful allocation enables an effortless and natural transition from speaker to subwoofer, providing a seamless audio experience.

  4. Dedicated Inputs for Efficiency: Equipped with separate inputs for High Level Inputs, Low Level Input, and Theatre .1/LFE Input, the T/5x is ready to handle any audio from a range of devices effortlessly. This separate input design ensures perfect integration of sound, whether it's for high-end 2-channel applications or home theater settings.

  5. Zero Compression Wireless Capability: The T/5x can be upgraded with the phenomenal Arrow™ Wireless system. This optional feature delivers fast and dynamic bass without compromising on sound quality via digital compression. Its wireless capability, offering swift synchronization, broadens possibilities for your sound setup allowing you flexibility and easier placement.

  6. Floor Firing Mechanism: The T/5x’s unique floor-firing design spreads the bass energy uniformly across the room. This design simulates the performance of a significantly larger model, offering a powerful and enhanced audio experience in any room, regardless of its size.

  7. Vital Protection System: Equipped with a Fully Electronic Set Safe, D.C. Fault, and Output Short systems, the T/5x protects itself and your system against potential electrical issues. This defensive feature ensures longevity and safety, making it a wise investment for your audio tech arsenal.

Enjoy the blend of phenomenal performance, impeccable design, and consistent reliability with REL's T/5x Subwoofer. More than just a subwoofer, the T/5x is a superior integration of sound engineering and aesthetic elegance – a true feast for your senses.

The Black Pearl Power Cable is a pretty substantial piece of kit, superbly constructed - it beats the usual black kettle lead hands down on looks and construction. It is however, fairly stiff so you need to allow it to hang in graceful arcs - no sharp bends. Being heavy it also needs a little support so it doesn’t drag on sockets at either end of the cable. Has it made a difference in the sound? Well, I have made so many changes all at once that I cannot definitively say if it has or not, but I am pretty sure that those electrons are having a whale of a time running along the conductors in the cable, and this hobby is all about joy!

The Cinema 30 is the direct replacement for the SR8015, but it is chalk n cheese in terms of sound & build quality! The 120fps issue switching between the PS5 & XBox Series X is gone via the VS3003 8K switcher to the one 8K HDMI input - all HDMI inputs are 8K@ 60kHz or 4K 120kHz/fps! I bit the bullet and shelled out for the Bass Management & Control add-ons to DIRAC product @ $AUD951.54 and the results are astounding compared to the Audyssey room correction of the SR-8015. Currently using a 7.2.4 setup as it's not possible to do 7.4.6 yet. The Cinema 30 is a GREAT looking and sounding piece of hardware, handles DSD128 multichannel tracks via HDMI from the Reavon UBR-X200 effortlessly & DSD64 multichannel from the Eversolo DMP-A6 Masters edition also via HDMI. I wasn't expecting DSD128 to work but VERY happy that it does. I do miss the analogue multi-channel input that the SR-8015 & my older Yamaha units have, so that the DAC on the Reavon can do the conversion & output in analog. I am unable to compare via a shootout between the two units to determine if there are any audible differences to me. Well worth the cost of the upgrade❣️❣️ Many thanks to Vaughan for his quality, no-nonsense expert advice, throughout the long fault analysis & attempts to rectify of the 8015 by the authorized repairer and organizing the replacement unit. I purchased the SR-8015 elsewhere before I knew about the team @ The Audio Tailor & have never looked back.

The sound stage is open with lots of space around each instrument and the stereo imaging is great. Another thing I really like is the ease with which I can stream music (which my previous amp couldn’t do). I don’t even need to turn on the amp. I simply select the H120 in my streaming channel and hit play. It wakes the H120 and starts playing. Here too, the sound is excellent. I’m very happy with this purchase and the people at Audio Tailor have been great to deal with.

It is possible to damp the legs, but this involves considerable extra expense in buying effective damping material. The top and bottom plates also have a ring, but that is more easily and cheaply damped, with a little d.i.y. effort. Atacama really need to go back to the drawing board for this one. I will eventually get around to damping the legs, but until then, the stands are an expensive shelving system.
