Product Details

Walnut subwoofer at a three-quarter angle, showing the top and black feet

Walnut-veneered cabinet

The Classic 98 revives the down-firing RELs of the 1990s in a compact cabinet veneered in walnut on every side. The almost matt lacquer keeps fingerprints off the veneer without adding shine. 15 mm MDF panels added to the side walls keep the cabinet quiet; it measures 35 cm wide, 47 cm high and 29.9 cm deep and weighs 18.1 kg.

Black rear panel with three control knobs, a Speakon socket and two RCA inputs

Three separate inputs

The high-level input on a Neutrik Speakon socket connects to the amplifier's speaker terminals, the link REL favours for stereo. A .1/LFE RCA input with its own level control takes the bass channel from an AV receiver, and a low-level RCA input suits active speakers, for example. The crossover is adjustable from 30 to 120 Hz, the phase switches between 0 and 180°, and a toggle selects auto standby or always on.

Paper-cone driver seen from below, between four black feet

Down-firing paper driver

The 25 cm driver uses a hot-pressed paper cone, chosen to recapture the gentle character of the original RELs. Facing the floor, it pushes air out between the base of the cabinet and the floor, spreading bass throughout the room. A 300 W Class D amplifier drives it, and REL quotes extension down to 27 Hz.

Two walnut subwoofers side by side, ready to run as a stereo pair

Single or in pairs

The Classic 98 is sold individually and works alone or as a stereo pair, with one subwoofer per channel. A wireless link is possible with a REL HT-Air MKII or AirShip II transmitter, sold separately. The rear panel also has a 110-120 V / 220-240 V voltage selector.
