REL HT/1003 MK II Subwoofer

All-new 300W Class D amplifier offers greater headroom and powers a new CarbonGlas™ 10” (250mm) driver. This combination delivers devastating output, playing TWICE as loud as the original. At this price, this performance is unheard of. The icing on the cake is that, like all the new HT’s, it responds beautifully when playing music, and HT-Air delivers state of the art (optional) wireless.

When Your Heart Says HT/1205...but your budget or room size says no

Perhaps the most dramatic update in the entire HT range is delivered by the remarkable HT/1003 MKII. In theatre, nothing impresses like raw output, even if you don’t use all of it. HT/1003 MKII’s increase in usable headroom confers an ease to the sound that lesser designs can’t compete with.

There's a full 10 dB higher output (that’s twice as loud) over its forbear. As with its larger brothers, HT/1003 MKII receives the full suite of MKII upgrades. First, a higher secondary filter allows energy to extend further up the sonic spectrum means explosions are more savage than ever. Next, an all-analogue PerfectFilter™ lifts and extends the deepest bass.

Also, an analogue subsonic filter filters out the signals that can lead to damage below 20Hz. All this is packaged in the same sexy, serious look that blends perfectly with the Serie T/x and S for use in HT-3D systems. As well as all of this, there are improvements to driver, amplifier, and filters means this latest version is now a seriously musical sub.

The sexy new cabinetry is bespoke with new textures, proportions and finishing touches previously unseen in the category. Lower, sleeker cabinetry borrows proportions drawn from the new Reference models. This results in a faster, deeper presentation of bass—all while looking smashing.

The captivating top panel of the REL HT/1003 MK II Subwoofer is intricately polished in five layers of hand-applied piano black lacquer, highlighted by a subtle REL logo within the top lacquer layer. The acoustically transparent cabinet is expertly crafted with a streak-grained composite, presenting an elegant, yet restrained design aesthetic. Complement any home theatre setup with the HT/1003 MK II, which is also compatible with Serie T/x and Serie S for expansive 3D HT experiences.

Drive Like You Mean It

HT/1003 MKII’s driver remains a 10” (250mm) CarbonGlas™ construct to keep its overall size reasonable in its role as the powerhouse for slightly more modest spaces. Every component has been beefed up, improved in ways both large and small to deliver the greatest performance possible.

The lightweight, rigid, and quiet construction of the REL HT/1003 MK II Subwoofer is achieved by combining glass fibre primary cones with authentically crafted carbon fibre centre caps at a cost-effective price point. Larger, more potent magnets generate enhanced power, while upgraded suspension designs with enlarged surrounds allow for maximum travel, preserving the output even at extreme levels of amplifier and driver force. The end effect is exceptional audio output, staying both fast and smooth like all RELs.
