Fastest, Most Transparent Wireless Sub System Ever
The Airship is REL Acoustics' newest state-of-the-art zero compression wireless connection for use with the latest Serie S powered subwoofers, and many more RELs to come. REL's goal with this design is to wirelessly deliver a hardwire-quality connection.
Designed for S/510 and S/812, the Airship is also compatible with the G1 MK II. Additionally, Airship can also be used for high or low level and .1/LFE wireless connections for subwoofers from other manufacturers. However, only REL's S/510 and S/812 are designed to have the receiver bolt onto the back amp panel.
The Purpose to REL's Passion for Wireless
REL prides itself on the ability to deliver extremely high levels of sound quality and rock solid wireless connection protocols since its first wireless design over a decade ago. Airship surpasses any earlier design using a 5.8 gigahertz signal, a frequency previously reserved for military use by the US military and NATO. It results in the fastest, most transparent wireless the design team has ever experienced and verges on hardwired transparency level.
Ultra-high quality wireless confers a number of benefits to the REL owner, including freedom of placement. This permits extreme performance without the cumbersome tether of a cable, for ideal placement without being limited by the length of a wire, which can lead to a better sounding, less cluttered experience. So now you can place subs in distant corners, along glass walls, or on hardwood floors to ensure a superior experience, sonically and aesthetically.
High Level And Theater .1 Connections Simultaneously
Airship permits simultaneous use of REL's new 5.8 gig connection for both the high-level connection AND the .1/LFE needed for high quality theater. In this way, both two-channel music and multi-channel theater are supported simultaneously, meaning you can use your REL for any form of music or theater without adjusting anything further.
REL's High-Level input is designed to accept the stereo (two-channel) signals from the speaker terminals of your receiver, integrated amplifier, or power amplifier(s). This has the advantage of ensuring that your subwoofer receives exactly the same signal as the main speakers, which means that the character of the bass from the main system is carried forward into REL's Sub-Bass System. Along with our extremely fast, natural sounding Filter Circuits, Airship ensures you receive the benefits of REL’s superior system integration, since RELs are known the world over for their perfect, rich integration without the ability to sonically locate the subwoofer’s origin.
For top theater performance, the .1/LFE circuit is granted its own dedicated wireless channel, which allows for the largest, most dynamic special effects in theater to be properly replicated in all their glory. Airship delivers two channels in parallel, one for music and theater in High Level (or Low Level, increasingly needed for active wireless speakers, for example) and a second channel for .1/LFE in theater use.
When both are used correctly, the cold, edgy sound most theaters deliver becomes rich and full-bodied. Dialog and atmospheric effects take on new drama and realism, because the full range of sounds are provided every moment of the movie by REL's High Level, while the .1 channel delivers extra emphasis during the 15-20 minutes of a movie when this channel is active. This is truly the best of both worlds.
Pairing Made Simple – No Laptops or Apps Required
REL designed and engineered Airship to deliver a simple, elegant pairing that operates as smoothly as it looks. Just plug both in within a few seconds of each other, push a button, and the Airship seeks out its mating receiver and pairs with it. Standard time to pair is less than five seconds.
Freedom and Performance
For many, the ability to listen to the highest quality of audio in glorious full range sound while placing their RELs perfectly for sound quality and best appearance has been a dream beyond their reach. Airship finally allows the final barriers between performance, placement and attractive room design to be replaced by a newfound freedom. Once this has been experienced, you will never return to yesterday’s compromises.
