REL HT/1510 Predator Subwoofer

The REL HT/1510 Predator is a force of nature, a subwoofer designed with a singular, ferocious purpose: to deliver the earth-shattering, visceral impact of modern home cinema. This is not a polite audiophile subwoofer; it is a full-body experience. The Predator combines a massive 15-inch CarbonGlas™ driver with a ferocious 1,000-watt amplifier to unleash the true scale and concussive power of the .1/LFE channel. It is built to be the new benchmark for home theater, delivering explosive dynamics and subterranean extension down to 20Hz. Engineered to be stacked in "HT-3D" line arrays, the HT/1510 Predator is the key to unlocking a truly immersive and tactile cinematic world that you don't just hear—you feel.

Key Features

• 1000W NextGen5 Amplifier: A monstrous 1,000-watt (RMS) Class D engine provides limitless headroom for the most demanding, high-impact LFE.
• 15” CarbonGlas™ Driver: A massive 15-inch long-throw driver featuring an incredibly lightweight and ultra-stiff carbon-glass cone for brutal speed and slam.
• HT-3D Line Array Ready: The cabinet is engineered with couplers to be securely stacked in vertical line arrays (up to 3 units) for the ultimate 3D bass experience.
• Theater-First Inputs: A dedicated .1/LFE input stage with both RCA and balanced XLR connections for a professional, noise-free link to your AV processor.
• Compact, Rigid Enclosure: A beautifully compact, line-grained cabinet that is massively braced to remain silent, allowing all 1,000 watts of power to be converted into pure acoustic energy.
• HT-Air™ Wireless Compatible: Pairs with the optional HT-Air MKII wireless transmitter for a zero-compression, high-speed connection without long cable runs.

A Kilowatt of Pure Authority

The HT/1510 is powered by a monstrous 1,000-watt (RMS) NextGen5 Class D amplifier. This engine was built to produce the massive, instantaneous dynamic swings demanded by modern film soundtracks. Its massive power supply ensures it never runs out of headroom, delivering the full, concussive force of an explosion or the deep, sustained rumble of a starship without breaking a sweat. This is power in its most controlled and explosive form.

The 15-inch CarbonGlas Heart

To translate that 1,000 watts into visceral impact, the Predator uses a custom 15-inch CarbonGlas™ driver. This driver is incredibly stiff and surprisingly lightweight, thanks to its composite of glass and carbon fibres. This stiffness prevents the cone from flexing under extreme pressure, while its light mass allows it to be brutally fast. The result is bass that doesn't just rumble; it hits. It's a perfect combination of speed and power.

Building a Wall of Sound: The HT-3D Array

While a single Predator is a formidable beast, its true purpose is realized in a stack. The HT/1510 is engineered for the "HT-3D" Line Array. The chassis includes couplers to securely bolt one unit on top of another, up to three high per side. This creates a floor-to-ceiling line source of bass, delivering a truly immersive 3D audio experience that pressurizes the room evenly. You feel the impact from all directions, just as the sound designer intended.

Purpose-Built for Cinema

Unlike its audiophile-focused siblings, the Predator is a home theater purist. Its input filters are specifically designed for the demands of LFE, ensuring all its power is concentrated on the .1 channel. It features both RCA and balanced XLR inputs for a professional-grade, noise-free connection to your AV processor or receiver. This dedicated focus means it delivers the most powerful, dynamic, and clean theater bass possible, without compromise.

Untether the Beast

The HT/1510 is fully compatible with REL's optional HT-Air MKII wireless system. This zero-compression system is built on a 5.8Ghz frequency, delivering a lightning-fast signal with no perceivable delay. This gives you the freedom to place the Predator (or a stack of them) in the acoustically optimal position in your room, without being constrained by the length of an LFE cable.
