About the Classic 98
The REL Acoustics Classic 98 is a powered subwoofer that blends mid-century aesthetics with modern technology. Featuring a 10-inch (250mm) down-firing amended pulp-on-paper inverted cone woofer in a sealed acoustic suspension cabinet, it provides deep, resonant bass with a nostalgic warmth ideal for vintage or retro audio systems. Powered by a 300-watt RMS Class D amplifier, it extends low frequencies to -6dB at 27Hz, offering a broad carpet of room-filling bass suitable for stereo music or home theater. Controls include low-pass crossover (30-120Hz), phase switch (0°/180°), separate High/Low and .1/LFE level adjustments, and signal-sensing auto power on. Connectivity options feature high-level Neutrik Speakon, low-level mono RCA, and LFE RCA inputs. Optional wireless capability via HT-Air MKII or AirShip II (sold separately). Its real walnut veneer finish and compact design make it a stylish addition that evokes the golden age of stereo while delivering reliable contemporary performance.
