'Serie T/x is instantly seen as crisper, fresher, and better. The goal was not simply to improve upon its illustrious predecessor, but to deliver as much as possible of our latest Serie S on a budget.'
SOUND BEYOND THEIR SIZE
REL prefers to refine, to build generationally upon a solid foundation while searching relentlessly for every possible way to legitimately improve upon their past performance. A family of shapes that is distinctly REL and from each next gen Serie release, the new can be seen as well as a subtle nod to the past. This is how I help REL as a designer. I help them envision their future Subwoofer lines without compromising the solid history that they have so artfully, solidly, and proudly built.

A COMPLETELY REDESIGNED FLAGSHIP
Many don’t realize the intense linkage between performance and design at REL. Performance is everything to them and so it drives physical design revisions. There engineers, recognize the need for greater acoustic volume to achieve the goals of greater fluidity and power, turn to the designer who works dimensions to fool the eye into seeing a smaller, more compact footprint even though cabinet volume increases. Using gently rounded corner radii that allows the eye to flow over and see less visual mass. The result is both modern and familiar with no unnecessary adornment. A family of shapes that moves the line forward in a tasteful and dynamic way.
Ideation Process
Some design journeys are dynamic, some strange, most are humbling. The journey we took with T/x was all that. And surprising too.
Honestly, every line update (from R to S, from T to T/i) over the past decade was filled with some degree of nervousness based on a very real concern: “How do we top what we accomplished before? Will our latest be enough better?” The fear comes from the fact that we don’t cookbook our scripts. What makes RELs unique is that they are so clearly the result of the human experience of constant, ongoing development. Of polishing and honing hard fought victories that tell us more truth about the musical experience we all crave.
