Know before you buy
This cable is engineered to support REL’s unique high-level connection method, which draws the signal directly from your amplifier's speaker terminals. This ensures your subwoofer receives the exact same sonic signature as your main speakers, resulting in superior timing and tonal integration.
The hex braid geometry is a signature Kimber Kable design that helps reduce RF and EMI interference. By minimizing these external noises, the cable provides a lower noise floor and cleaner signal transfer for more precise bass reproduction.
Yes, the cable includes both spade and banana plug terminations for the amplifier end, while the subwoofer end features a Neutrik locking Speakon connector. This provides the flexibility to connect to almost any standard amplifier output.
By using high-quality copper conductors and specialized shielding, this cable improves signal clarity and control. It allows the subwoofer to blend more naturally with your main speakers, creating a more cohesive and realistic soundstage.
The 1.5-meter length is standard for most high-end audio setups where the subwoofer is positioned relatively close to the amplifier. If your subwoofer is placed further away, you should measure your cable run carefully before purchasing to ensure it reaches comfortably.
