Designed to work in close relationship with the wall behind it, the PL-2 uses boundary effect coupling to project deep, room-filling bass with impressive scale, control, and musicality from a slim enclosure that occupies very little floor space. Its newly developed 8-inch FlatPiston active driver, 10-inch rear-firing passive radiator, and 550-watt RMS Pure Class D amplifier combine to deliver fast, powerful low-frequency performance for both music and home theater systems. With built-in Airship Direct wireless, flexible near-wall or on-wall placement, and REL’s VIMAR vibration-control system, the Planar PL-2 offers premium bass performance in a form that suits modern living spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch4\u003eWhat It's Good At:\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eDelivering deep, room-filling bass from an ultra-thin cabinet that fits where conventional subwoofers cannot\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUsing boundary effect coupling and wall integration to create bigger, fuller low-frequency performance\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBlending speed, control, and impact for both two-channel music systems and home theater setups\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProviding clean, flexible installation with built-in Airship Direct wireless and concealed rear-panel integration\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSupporting near-wall, on-wall, and optional cart-based placement for better room integration\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePreserving bass clarity and control with REL’s VIMAR mounting system and all-analog filtering approach\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch4\u003eREL Planar PL-2 Full Specifications:\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eProduct Name: Planar PL-2\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProduct Type: Powered subwoofer\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSeries: Planar\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTagline: Maximum Performance.
