HT/1003 MKII Black Lacquer
Description
The REL HT/1003 MKII is a subwoofer that was created not for a tick in a home theater system, but for a real sense of scale and impact.
It is compact in size, but in character - adult, collected and very confident. This is the REL that surprises from the very first scene.
Here is a fast 10-inch CarbonGlas™ driver in a closed enclosure - and this is the key to the character of the HT/1003 MKII. The bass is dense, sharp, controlled, without hum and "tail". In films, this is felt immediately: explosions have mass, gunshots - a blow, and low atmospheric effects literally press on the chest. But at the same time, the subwoofer does not collapse the scene and does not block everything around.
The 300 W amplifier provides a large margin of dynamics, thanks to which the subwoofer easily copes even with loud moments without losing control. It does not scream, it works confidently and accurately, with the same discipline for which REL is appreciated.
The HT/1003 MKII was created primarily for movies, but in music it is also pleasantly surprising. The electronics gain density and depth, the percussion gains foundation, and the overall sound becomes bigger and more fleshed out, without the feeling that the bass lives separately from the system. This is not a “musical REL” in the classic sense, but it sounds much more cultured than most cinema subs.
The REL HT/1003 MKII is the perfect option for those who want a real home theater, but without huge boxes in the room. Powerful, fast, collected and very driving - this is REL in the world of cinema, and it feels absolutely at home here.
