Reference Home Cinema Performance
Unlike REL's Serie T/x subwoofers, which are designed to enhance both music and movies, the HT/1510 Predator MKII has been purpose-built for dedicated home cinema. Every element—from its high-output amplifier to its oversized CarbonGlas™ driver—has been developed to reproduce the demanding low-frequency effects found in modern film soundtracks with exceptional authority.
Whether recreating explosive action sequences, orchestral crescendos or the subtle ambience of immersive Atmos soundtracks, the Predator MKII delivers deep, controlled bass that enhances realism without sacrificing precision.
Maximum Output with Absolute Control
The HT/1510 Predator MKII combines a massive 15-inch CarbonGlas™ driver with REL's latest high-current amplifier technology to produce exceptional output while maintaining the speed and articulation for which REL is renowned.
Its sealed cabinet architecture contributes to outstanding transient response and bass accuracy, ensuring low frequencies remain tight, coherent and perfectly integrated with the rest of the loudspeaker system.
1,000W NextGen5 Class D Amplifier
Driving the Predator MKII is REL's most powerful HT Series amplifier: a 1,000W RMS NextGen5 Class D design developed for sustained high-current delivery and exceptional reliability. The amplifier provides effortless headroom even during the most demanding movie passages while remaining cool and efficient.
REL's proprietary analogue filters and SET-SAFE protection system ensure optimal performance and long-term reliability under all operating conditions.
15" CarbonGlas™ Driver Technology
The custom-designed 15-inch CarbonGlas™ driver combines a lightweight glass-fibre cone with a rigid carbon-fibre centre cap, allowing extremely high excursion while maintaining excellent stiffness and low distortion.
This advanced driver architecture enables the Predator MKII to reproduce the deepest cinematic effects with authority while preserving the speed and definition required for convincing low-frequency reproduction.
Designed for Premium Home Cinema Systems
The Predator MKII integrates easily into high-performance AV systems via dedicated stereo and LFE inputs. Daisy-chain outputs allow multiple subwoofers to be connected for larger dedicated cinemas or multi-subwoofer Dolby Atmos installations.
- Stereo RCA low-level inputs
- Dedicated RCA LFE input
- Stereo RCA outputs
- LFE daisy-chain output

Premium Cabinet Design
The Predator MKII features REL's latest HT cabinet architecture, inspired by the company's Reference Series. A horizontally textured composite enclosure is complemented by a beautifully hand-polished five-layer high-gloss lacquer top panel, combining understated elegance with exceptional structural rigidity.
Available in High Gloss Black or High Gloss White, the Predator MKII integrates naturally into premium home cinema environments.

Why We Selected This Product
At ExclusivIT, we look for products that deliver meaningful performance improvements while remaining engineered for long-term reliability.
