Key Features
- High-Purity Copper Conductors: Slow-drawn, high-purity copper, drawn in a nitrogen bath to minimize impurities, coated in Teflon for a pure, natural sound REL calls Natural Drawn™ wire.
- Neutrik SpeakOn Connectors: Swiss-made, reliable SpeakOn connectors, used in over 100,000 REL subwoofers worldwide, ensure neutral, mechanically ideal high-level input connections.
- High-Level Connection: Connects to your amplifier’s speaker terminals (red to right positive, yellow to left positive, black to ground) for seamless integration with your main speakers’ signal.
- Optimized for REL Subwoofers: Engineered to balance inductance, capacitance, and resistance, enhancing clarity, speed, and dynamics across all REL models, especially Serie S and Reference Series.
- NAIM Compatibility: Special circuit in 3m and 6m NAIM versions replicates the complex output impedance of classic NAIM amplifiers for safe, high-performance use.
- Soundstage Illumination: Enhances contrast, clarity, and dynamic shadings, creating a vivid, three-dimensional soundstage far beyond typical bass improvement.
- Handcrafted Quality: Built in REL’s California facility with pure silver solder and gold-plated spade lugs to minimize oxidation and ensure long-term sonic integrity.
- Flexible Termination: Gold-plated spade lugs can be re-terminated to bare wire for amplifiers requiring it, ensuring broad compatibility.
- 3-Year Warranty: Parts and labor coverage
Why Choose the REL Bassline Blue?
The Bassline Blue is more than a cable—it’s a transformative upgrade for any REL subwoofer, from Serie T/x to Reference models. Its high-purity copper and optimized geometry deliver a noticeable improvement in dynamics, clarity, and soundstage illumination, as praised by users and reviewers for “opening up the mids” and “tightening bass” (Polk Audio Forum). Unlike generic speaker cables, it’s tailored to REL’s high-impedance input (>100,000 ohms), avoiding the pitfalls of thick, low-impedance cables that can degrade performance or damage systems. Handmade with military-grade materials, it ensures lasting quality and is a cost-effective upgrade for systems like T/9x or Serie S, though REL recommends pairing lower-end models like T/5x with a second subwoofer first for greater impact. For NAIM owners, its bespoke circuitry ensures compatibility with classic amplifiers, making it a no-brainer for high-end setups.
