REL Acoustics Planar 8-Inch Powered On-Wall Subwoofer in Gloss White Lacquer (Each) - PLANAR PL-2 WHITE

REL Acoustics PLANAR PL-2 WHITE Planar 8-Inch Powered On-Wall Subwoofer in Gloss White Lacquer (Each)

The REL Acoustics PLANAR PL-2 WHITE wall-mountable powered subwoofer combines a slim Gloss White Lacquer cabinet, an 8 in. FlatPiston active driver, a 10 in. rear passive radiator and 550 watts RMS of Pure Class D amplification. Low-frequency extension reaches -6 dB at 24 Hz in room, while built-in Airship Direct wireless reduces long signal-cable runs. High-level, low-level RCA and LFE RCA inputs accommodate music and theater systems. Designed for larger listening rooms, open-plan homes and dedicated theaters, it restores the foundation and scale of recordings without making a separate bass source the focus.

Key Features

Wall-Assisted Bass With a 10 in. Passive Radiator

The front-firing, long-throw FlatPiston woofer works with a rear-firing FibreAlloy passive radiator that couples to the adjacent wall. This wall-assisted design adds perceived acoustic scale without relying on a conventional deep cabinet, bringing low-frequency support to architectural-speaker systems while keeping the enclosure slim. Both drivers use steel chassis.

PerfectFilter Analog Integration

PerfectFilter circuitry avoids unnecessary digital processing, and the HIGH-LEVEL Neutrik SpeakOn connection and .1/LFE input can operate simultaneously. That gives a shared music and theater system dedicated connection paths without choosing one application over the other. A LOW-LEVEL RCA input provides another connection option.

Airship Direct Wireless, Built In

The included Airship Direct system uses a concealed, pre-installed receiver that is factory-paired, avoiding app-based configuration. Wireless audio replaces the long signal run, not the power connection: the subwoofer still uses its mains lead. The transmitter connects to the audio system through high-level or RCA cabling and uses its power adapter; a high-level cable, two RCA cables and the adapter are supplied.

VIMAR Wall Mounting and Isolation

VIMAR bracket isolation reduces unwanted vibration transfer into the wall, an important consideration when the cabinet becomes part of a finished room. The supplied mounting kit includes upper and lower wall and cabinet brackets, isolation gaskets, a mounting template, fasteners and hex drivers. Plan wall installation around structural anchoring and use both bracket assemblies with their gaskets.

Optional Planar Cart-2 Placement

The optional Planar Cart-2 offers an in-room alternative when you want to experiment with position and room interaction before committing to the wall. The cart is sold separately and is not part of the supplied wall-mounting kit.

Gloss White Lacquer With a Cloth Grille

Rounded cabinet edges, recessed controls and hidden cable routing support an installation that blends into the room rather than drawing attention to its connections. This version pairs Gloss White Lacquer with the included cloth grille. An optional Premium Wood grille offers a separate finish upgrade.

Scale for Music and Theater

The listening goal goes beyond louder bass: drums gain weight and texture, orchestral recordings take on a larger presentation, and bass instruments occupy their appropriate place in the mix. For movie soundtracks, the emphasis shifts to atmospheric scale and dynamic impact. In both applications, the subwoofer is intended to work as part of the complete system rather than as an isolated effects device.

Footnotes:

Performance figures reflect manufacturer testing under specific conditions; results vary with the room, settings and use.

Installation safety: Never ceiling-mount. Drywall mounting requires structural anchoring, both bracket assemblies and the isolation gaskets. Two-person installation is recommended; seek professional help for plaster. The supplied drywall insert requires glue to prevent rattling. Additional installation tools and glue are not supplied. Follow the current manufacturer installation instructions and obtain clarification if hardware or anchoring details are unclear.
