Moving up in the REL line of subwoofers

I thought the idea of of 212 series was that it’s like a built in line array with vertically arranged drivers giving the bass an added height dimension. I this the new one has 4 drivers including backwards firing.

truly, if you call REL, they will recommend the right pairing for your setup. Interestingly they do not always suggest bigger (higher model) is better.

id be interested in what you select and how it turns out.

At CAF, I saw the borresen M2s partnered with their 4 driver dipole bass modules. The difference with and with the module was incredible. After hearing it with the module, removing it was quite a disappointment, even at the M2 level.

No, that is not correct. In a line array, each level in the stack has a different role and is tuned differently (with independent settings each for xover and gain) . That’s not possible with the 212. They are just big subs with more drivers, but all are tuned together. They only have one set of xover/gain controls.

Anther vote to call 'em. I did and they were very helpful. Refreshingly so.

Moving subs around, AKA pragmatic room coupling, could be it (you will get more magic). But more subs at different crossover points (as I understand it) oh heck yeah to that too. Most folks who got 'em love 'em.

Goggle pragmatic room coupling and it's easy to understand why.

All very interesting information. Thanks so much.

To those of you trying to help the OP get the best sound with what he has, I’m not sure you’re understanding the ‘itis’….
