The REL Carbon Special Black Label is a reference‑grade sub‑bass system engineered to bring Reference‑level low frequency performance to discerning music and home theatre systems. Using a pure carbon fibre 12" active cone derived from REL’s No.31 Reference models, a paired 12" passive radiator and a high‑power linear Class‑D amplifier architecture with LimitLess™ limiters, the Carbon Special Black Label delivers extraordinary speed, detail and authoritative output suitable for very large rooms and critical listeners.

- ✅ Low frequency extension to −6 dB at 19 Hz (in‑room)
- ✅ High‑level Neutrik® Speakon®, Low‑Level RCA L/R, .1/LFE RCA and XLR connectivity

📝 Reviews
"Carbon Special Black Label brings Reference technologies into a subwoofer that is both explosive and refined." — REL (product literature)
"The Carbon Special's ultra‑light carbon cone reveals exceptional resolution and transient speed." — press / dealer summaries
"A sub for serious systems — huge output, controlled low end and musical authority." — reviewer / retailer commentary
⚠️ Warning
⚠️ Audiophile warning: Ownership of the Carbon Special Black Label may induce sudden urges to convert your living room into a screening room, buy additional subs for "perfect symmetry", and recite crossover theory at dinner parties. Handle with respect (and a friend to help lift — it’s heavy!).

Super speakers, it's fullfilled my dolby atmos ! Thx !
Звучит очень ярко, и сочно.Не понравилось как звучит металл.При регуляторе громкости на 9 часов уже громко.Современная музыка и электронная звучат изумительно.Слушаю на акустике Dali.мне кажется акустика 8 ом чуствительность до 90 была бы больше в балансе.

Sound is fabulous.
I never expected such transparency and spacious soundstage from an IEM.
Simply the best "portable" headphones. Pity it was discontinued.
