About the S/3 SHO
The REL S/3 SHO subwoofer is designed to deliver deep, accurate, and powerful bass for both stereo and multi-channel systems. It features a 10-inch front-firing continuous profile aluminium cone long-throw driver and a 12-inch down-firing carbon-weave passive radiator in a sealed enclosure. The subwoofer is powered by a Next Gen II 400W Class D amplifier, providing robust output and reliability. It offers multiple input options including line-level stereo, line-level LFE/.1, and high-level inputs via a Neutrik Speakon connector, allowing seamless integration with main amplifiers and speakers. Controls include individual line/high-level volume, reversible phase, and variable crossover. The S/3 SHO can be made wireless with the optional REL LongBow transmitter. Its frequency response extends down to 22Hz (-6dB), ensuring deep bass reproduction. The subwoofer measures 406mm wide, 424mm high, and 464mm deep, weighing approximately 27.86kg. It is finished in gloss piano black and includes carpet spikes for stability, though REL recommends using it without spikes unless on deep shag pile carpet to optimize the downward-firing driver performance.
