HT/1510 Predator Home Subwoofer

- Home theatre ready
HT/1510 Predator, the full upgrade of HT/1508, builds on our original home theatre-subwoofer (winner of Home Theatre of the Year awards on multiple continents) by upgrading every component and aspect. These upgrades were based on three key learnings:
1. The sound was so good; people wanted more power
2. Looks matter and despite being enjoyed in the dark, a home theatre subwoofer must look every bit as stunning as its audiophile-driven kin
3. Mating the HT/1510 with our high-level models (Serie T/x and Serie S and Reference Models) produced dazzlingly rich, full continuous theatre quality bass
So, HT/1510 Predator received a full 1,000-watt linear power supply amplifier and new 15” (380mm) driver with 40% greater power to give people what they wanted –– bigger, faster dynamics and flat-out POWER. This attack is combined with a gorgeous new cabinet with sleek new proportions to perfectly mate with other REL designs for a surround sound system that truly looks as beautiful as it sounds. To make sure you received the benefits of these updates, we developed specialized HT versions of our award-winning PerfectFilter™ that delivers flatter deep bass, now down to 20 Hz. As icing on the cake, HT/1510 Predator delivers the highest .1/LFE output of any REL. Ever.
HT/1510 Predator confidently delivers massive upgrades in design elegance, performance and execution of every detail in cabinet design. Beauty, in this case, isn’t skin deep. We start by using right-sized cabinetry, beautifully executed in horizontally line-grained black with a subtle sheen that evokes state of the art amplifiers. This brings to the HT range the same sleek, elegant proportions used in our Reference models at a fraction of the price.
REL designs benefit from incorporating integral engineering solutions throughout their designs. Check out our BrilliantBrace™. Employed inside each HT/1510, it cradles the rear of the driver to eliminate shipping damage, quiets and redirects energy normally trapped in the driver, and quiets top, bottom and both sidewalls of the cabinet. Brilliant. And the full depth rails used to support and reactively brace against the powerful movements such a powerful subwoofer can produce, also means Predator II can be stacked in Line Arrays of 3/channel for the ultimate in-home theatre, to carry performance up the entire height of massive projection screens.
For truly over the top performance, Predators are designed to be stacked up to three (3) units high using included REL Couplers™ that connect lower units to upper units. These solid, milled aluminium couplers bolt securely to each sub and along with the substantial rails on the underside of each cabinet create an extremely heavy, sturdy tower of bass. When used in stereo stacks (6 total, 3 per side) it represents over 8000 watts of peak power forcing (6) x 15” drivers to give their utmost in the service of breathtaking bass delivered in oceanic torrents of bass.
