REL Longbow Wireless Transmitter

Freedom Introducing Longbow, the easy-to-use, zero compression, ultra-high quality wireless system that frees your system from placement limitations imposed by conventional cables. Compatible with No. 25, S/5 SHO, S/3 SHO, S/5, S/3 and included with Habitat1. With their new Longbow wireless system, you get all of the functionality and connectivity that REL subwoofers are famous for, and you only need to attach the small transmitter close to your equipment rack. Thanks to their high speed, 24 bit 48kHz data stream, there is no lag or latency to the soundstream. LONGBOW™ WIRELESS CONNECTIVITY Longbow permits very fast, uncompressed bass to be sent wirelessly within the same room approximately 45 feet (somewhat dependent upon room clutter). Conventional wireless systems operate by hugely compressing the sound, shipping the compressed digital bitstream through the air and then expanding it back to its “original” form. The results are a noticeable lag in speed (engineers refer to this delay as latency) and an un-involving quality which often suffers from thinness. LongBow upgrades the digital pipeline from 16 bit to 24 bit, then ships over un-compressed 48kHz signals. Eliminating the compression/expansion chokepoint and using audiophile grade A/D encoders results in fast (typically about 80 percent faster than traditional Bluetooth or Wi-Fi systems) rich, natural bass. TRUE PERFORMANCE: Our engineers didn’t stop at creating the industry’s best-sounding wireless delivery system. The team developed LongBow with both high level AND .1 channel simultaneous delivery so that REL Theatre Reference performance can be maintained even when using our wireless delivery system. This approach produces the rich, natural, warm bass REL theater systems are known for, along with the devastating punch of great .1 dynamics. Wirelessly. Shifting back and forth between music and film sound requires NO switching of inputs, altering subwoofer settings or the like. PAIRING MADE SIMPLE: Most people find fiddling with computer pairing frustrating, so our designers tasked our engineers with reducing pairing to just two simple toggle switches. Total set-up time? About 10 seconds to enjoy high performance bass, freed from the restrictions of cables. COMPATIBILITY Compatible with No. 25, S/5 SHO, S/3 SHO, S/5, S/3 and included with Habitat1 User Manual
