PL-2 was designed to deliver full REL performance from an ultra-thin form that integrates naturally into modern spaces. Its slim proportions, flowing edges, and deep lacquer finishes allow it to occupy spaces where traditional subwoofers often feel intrusive while still delivering serious performance.
Available in Gloss Piano Black or Gloss White Lacquer, PL-2 can either blend into the room or stand within it more intentionally. From recessed controls to concealed cable management and optional wood grille upgrades, every detail supports a design that feels considered, not imposed.
To help manage the interaction between the cabinet and the wall, Planar incorporates REL’s VIMAR (Vibration Isolation Material and Resonance Control) system. Integrated into the mounting brackets, VIMAR reduces the transfer of unwanted energy into the wall while preserving the speed and integrity of the bass. The result is cleaner, more controlled low-frequency performance.
Flat Piston. Massive Scale
PL-2’s 8” flat piston driver was developed specifically for Planar engineered to deliver remarkable output from an ultra-thin cabinet.
Producing deep, powerful bass from a driver of this depth required a different approach to rigidity, excursion, and control.
The result is fast, dynamic bass that extends to 24Hz reaching well below the fundamental range of many acoustic instruments while delivering the scale and authority expected from far larger subwoofers.
Boundary-Coupled Bass
A specially tuned 10” long-stroke passive radiator fires toward the wall behind Planar, using boundary effect coupling to reinforce and expand low-frequency output.
Working in close relationship with the wall, PL-2 transforms it into part of the acoustic system producing bass that feels expansive, immersive, and far larger than the cabinet itself suggests.
Effortless Power, Proven Reliability
PL-2 is powered by a 500-watt Pure Class D amplifier engineered to deliver high current with exceptional control.
Proven across thousands of REL subwoofers, this latest generation design delivers powerful dynamics with remarkable composure remaining efficient, cool-running, and dependable over years of use.
What stands out isn’t just output. It’s how effortlessly it’s delivered.
Filtered to Perfection
REL’s fully analog input filters are central to PL-2’s natural, seamless sound.
By avoiding unnecessary digital processing, PL-2 preserves speed, timing, tonal balance, and the organic character that define both music and theater.
With REL’s High Level Connection and PerfectFilter circuitry, PL-2 integrates effortlessly into the system delivering bass that feels connected, balanced, and complete.
