REL customers expect more. Performance? Surely, but also thoughtful design and materials that go above and beyond the norm. That’s why Commander is available in both White and Black jackets. White blends cleanly into baseboards and lighter floors, while Black disappears against dark hardwoods or carpet. Simple as Black and White.
REL also carried over their reverse-threaded RCA connectors from the Commodore cable. Typical RCA connectors loosen the barrels when you try to wiggle them free to make a change in your system; ours tighten the barrels as you remove the connector. A small but smart detail, with arrow indicators to show signal flow.
Fundamentals Executed the REL Way
We have over 40 years of experience on our internal cable design team and we know what works and what to avoid. While some cables rely on gimmicky features, Commander skips the fluff that drive up cost and focuses on the fundamentals. The dedicated ground features two levels of noise-attenuation and a twisted-pair hot conductor made of 60 strands of 99.99% pure Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC). The result is a cable that’s both quiet and dynamic. Built to last for years, Commander’s rugged PVC jacket stays clean with a simple wipe of a damp cloth.
A Better Ownership Experience
The reverse-threaded barrels have already been mentioned, but it’s worth repeating. REL pays attention to the little things that affect everyday use. Left-handed threads are used to attach the white or black outer barrels on the RCAs. REL spend a lot of time in customer homes and helping stores and nothing is as frustrating as having the connector barrel become disconnected when trying to remove a long-seated connector. So, their designers designed these reverse-twist threads so that when you twist the connector to remove it from the AVR, the barrel becomes tighter. Simple? Maybe, but no one else has thought of this.
