REL HT/1003 MKII 300 Watt Subwoofer – White
Insane Performance at its Size and Price – HT/1003 MKII, a.k.a. “The Hammer.”
The REL HT/1003 MKII Subwoofer lives up to that nickname with ease. Built for home cinema systems that demand real impact, it delivers powerful, fast bass from a compact enclosure—adding depth and realism without overwhelming your room.
Compact Size, Serious Impact
Don’t let the size fool you. The HT/1003 MKII is built to deliver strong, room-filling bass from a relatively small footprint. It’s ideal for small to mid-sized rooms where you want impactful low frequencies without sacrificing space or balance.
300W Class D Amplifier – Clean Power on Demand
At the heart of the subwoofer is a high-current 300-watt Class D amplifier. It provides the energy needed for deep, punchy bass while staying efficient and controlled. Whether it’s an explosion in a film or a dramatic soundtrack swell, the output remains tight rather than boomy.
10” CarbonGlas™ Driver – Fast & Accurate Response
The front-firing 10-inch CarbonGlas™ driver is designed for speed as much as power. This lightweight yet rigid cone helps the sub react quickly to changes in sound, giving you bass that feels precise rather than sluggish. The result is a more natural listening experience where effects hit hard but remain well-defined.
Twice the Output of the Original
Compared to its predecessor, the MKII version pushes significantly more output—up to 50% louder, with noticeably more authority. This improvement comes from upgraded driver materials and amplifier design, allowing it to handle demanding scenes with ease while keeping distortion low.
PerfectFilter Technology – Balanced, Extended Bass
REL’s PerfectFilter system helps extend bass performance into deeper frequencies while maintaining clarity higher up the range. This means you get both rumble and detail—so bass guitars, cinematic effects and ambient soundtracks all feel more lifelike.
An integrated analogue subsonic filter also removes unwanted ultra-low signals that can strain the driver, helping maintain cleaner output and improving long-term reliability.
Built for Home Cinema Performance
Unlike general-purpose subs, the HT/1003 MKII is tuned specifically for home theatre use. It delivers bass that feels fast, dynamic and engaging—enhancing action scenes, dialogue clarity and overall immersion without muddying the soundstage.
Stylish, Modern Cabinet Design
Finished in a clean white cabinet with subtle detailing, this subwoofer is easier to place in modern interiors than many traditional designs. The rigid, vibration-resistant enclosure reduces unwanted resonance, helping maintain clarity even at higher volumes.
Easy Setup & Room Adjustment
Fine-tuning is straightforward thanks to clearly labelled controls on the rear panel:
-
Level control to match output with your speakers
-
Crossover adjustment for smooth blending
-
Phase switch to align timing with your setup
-
Auto power function for convenient operation
These features make it easier to get the best performance in different room layouts.
Optional Wireless Upgrade
For a cleaner setup, the subwoofer is compatible with REL’s optional HT-Air wireless system (sold separately). This allows you to connect without long cables, while maintaining low latency and strong signal quality—ideal for flexible room placement.
