At only 5.7\" deep, PL-2 can sit close to a wall, mount on a wall, or work with REL’s optional Planar Cart, making it easier to integrate real bass into rooms where a traditional subwoofer would dominate the space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePL-2 uses a front-firing 8\" long-throw FlatPiston active driver supported by a rear-firing 10\" FibreAlloy passive radiator. This active\/passive configuration is designed to produce room-filling bass from a shallow cabinet, with REL’s familiar focus on speed, timing, and system integration for both music and home theater.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PL-2 is designed to be used wirelessly, and it ships with REL's low-latency and extremely stable AirShip Direct system. This setup is so effective that it rivals and even exceeds the performance of a hard-wired system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSlim Placement, Serious Integration\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlanar is designed around the idea that a driver radiating against a wall can disperse bass throughout the room. Its slim profile and near-wall placement makes it especially useful for living rooms, media rooms, and systems built around in-wall or in-ceiling speakers, where added low-frequency foundation is needed but floor space and visual impact matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBuilt for Music and Home Theater\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a two-channel system, PL-2 is intended to add weight, scale, and foundation without calling attention to itself. In a home theater system, it can support LFE effects and help energize the room from placement positions that would be difficult for a conventional box subwoofer. Multiple PL-2 units can also be used in line-array applications for larger, more evenly distributed bass systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThe Upscale View\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a serious design change for REL, and we were somewhat skeptical. But when we heard the tremendous wave of bass generated by this design, one that started and stopped on a dime, we were thoroughly impressed. The wall-facing design of the Planars results in bass with height and depth, just like with the 212 or the six-pack. The Planars are not just a lifestyle solution for the home cinema customer; they are worth your consideration even for high-fidelity stereo setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote that the cart that accompanies the Planars is a serious audio stand and is essential if you are not wall-mounting the subwoofer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlim Planar cabinet design for wall, near-wall, or cart placement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront-firing 8\" long-throw FlatPiston active driver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear-firing 10\" FibreAlloy passive radiator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e550 W RMS Pure Class D amplifier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-Level Neutrik Speakon, Low-Level RCA, and LFE RCA inputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eREL AirShip Direct wireless included with purchase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePiano Black Lacquer or Gloss White Lacquer finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLine-array capable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eType:\u003c\/b\u003e 1 x front-firing active driver, 1 x rear-firing passive radiator\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eActive Driver Size and Material:\u003c\/b\u003e 8 in.
