The REL HT-Air MKII delivers a compression-free wireless signal to your powered subwoofer.

Go wireless with your REL HT subwoofer

The HT-Air MKII is designed to hook up a REL HT series powered subwoofer to your receiver or amp without sacrificing audio quality in the process. It's also way easier to find the right spot for your sub if you go wireless, and it keeps your space tidy by limiting the number of cables stretched across the floor.

Simple setup

Use the mono RCA cables in the box to plug in the kit's transmitter and receiver to your amp and sub, respectively. Each device will also need to be hooked up to AC power (adapters included). After a simple pairing process, you're good to go.

The kit has a line-of-sight range of 40 feet, so you should have more than enough flexibility to find that "sweet spot" for your sub.

Flexible applications

While it's designed for REL's HT series, the HT-Air can make virtually any powered subwoofer wireless. As long as your sub has an RCA input, you can hook it up. This kit can also pass a full-range stereo signal, which means you can use it for other audio equipment, like a powered speaker.

Features

HT-Air MKII Wireless: The REL HT-Air MKII wireless kit (sold separately) allows you to wirelessly send the subwoofer/LFE audio signal from your AV receiver or preamplifier/processor to select REL powered subwoofers or other brands of powered subs without having to run wires between the AV receiver/preamplifier and subwoofer. The HT-Air MKII wireless kit consists of a 5.8GHz wireless transmitter and receiver that plug into the subwoofer/LFE output of your AV receiver or preamp/processor and the stereo RCA/LFE input your compatible powered sub via RCA cables.

Compatible REL Powered Subs: Compatible REL powered subwoofers include the HT/1003, HT/1205, HT/1510, Classic 98, Classic 99, and Tzero MKII.
Other Compatible Powered Subs: The HT-Air MKII can also be used with other brands and models of powered subwoofers that feature a stereo RCA input, mono-RCA input, or LFE input.

Note: The REL HT-Air MKII is a one-to-one transmitter and receiver system. It cannot be combined with other transmitters and receivers.

5.8GHz Wireless: The HT-Air MKII employs REL's 3rd generation 5.8GHz chip, their most advanced single-chip solution. It's designed to allow continuous real-time streaming of bass sound from music and movies. The HT-Air MKII is easily capable of sending dynamic, rich-sounding sub-bass signals at up to approximately 40'. It delivers a lightning-fast response of around 17ms which results in better sound, greater dynamics, and higher performance.

Wireless Transmitter (TX): The wireless transmitter (tx) features a set of stereo RCA inputs that will plug into the LFE out, subwoofer out, or stereo preout of your AV receiver, integrated amplifier, or preamplifier/processor. If your receiver, amplifier, or preamplifier has a LFE or mono-RCA sub output, then you only need to use the Right RCA input labeled ".1/LFE" on the wireless transmitter (tx). The wireless transmitter (tx) will wirelessly transmit subwoofer/LFE audio to the wireless receiver (rx).
Wireless Receiver (RX): The wireless receiver (rx) features a set of stereo RCA outputs and will plug into the LFE in or stereo input of your compatible powered subwoofer.. If your powered subwoofer has a LFE or mono-RCA input, then you only need to use the Right RCA out labeled ".1/LFE" on the wireless receiver (rx). The wireless receiver (rx) will wirelessly receive subwoofer/LFE audio from the wireless transmitter (tx).

Note: It is not possible to use the HT-Air MkII's wireless connection and a direct connection simultaneously. Using both wired and wireless connections for your powered sub simultaneously could result in damage and voids all warranties.

Pairing: The wireless transmitter (tx) and wireless receiver (rx) each have a Pairing button on the rear-panel. You'll need to press each of these Pairing buttons to connect the transmitter (tx) and receiver (rx) together, so they can communicate with each other wirelessly.

Power Requirements: The wireless transmitter and receiver of the REL HT-Air MKII will both require AC power and each come with an AC power adapter that will need to be plugged into an AC wall outlet.

Audition speakers before you buy

SpeakerCompare simulates the sound of home and car speakers through your headphones. It lets you compare sonic characteristics between speakers so that you can make a more informed shopping decision.

Why selecting your headphones is important

SpeakerCompare tailors your listening experience to the exact headphones you have, so that what you hear is comparable to auditioning speakers side-by-side in person. Knowing which model headphones you’re using lets us remove any sonic coloring from your experience.

Two different listening modes

In an actual listening room, you'd find that some speakers play louder than others when fed the same amount of power. In equal power mode, you'll hear these differences in loudness as they naturally occur between speakers.

In equal volume mode, we've made the loudness of each speaker about the same. This gives you a more direct comparison of subtle voicing differences between speakers.

Nothing beats listening to speakers in your space

SpeakerCompare gives you a sense of the sonic differences. But performance in the real world is affected by the acoustics of your car or home, your choice of amplification, and your source material. We still believe that the gold standard for auditioning speakers is hearing them in your own environment — that’s why we offer a 60-day money-back guarantee.

Our Listening Kit

To help you choose the right speakers, we recommend using Crutchfield’s SpeakerCompare Listening Kit. It includes a pair of studio-quality headphones, and a guide to getting the most out of your session, and a few other necessary items. We’ve carefully chosen the components of this kit to ensure a crystal-clear listening experience. It’s available for a nominal rental fee, and includes a $25 Crutchfield merchandise credit.
