About the Rel Classic 99

Introducing Classic 99: A New Era of Deep, Rich Sound

Plays louder, reaches deeper, and features layers of subtle textural enhancements that continuously impress.

450-Watt Class D Amplifier | 12" Pulp-on-Paper Driver | Acoustic Suspension Cabinet Design | Classic Real Walnut Veneer

Classic 99: Elevating the Classic Line to Loftier Heights

Classic 99 expands our Classic Line to new realms of richness, power, and nuance. Designed for those with larger rooms and high-performance systems, it offers unparalleled depth while maintaining the easy-going, room-filling nature of its predecessors.

With a genuine dark walnut veneer, it seamlessly blends with various interior styles while embracing the timeless Mid-Century Modern aesthetic. This is the perfect subwoofer for those who appreciated the original Classic 98 but longed for even greater performance. The Classic 99 delivers deep bass that blankets larger spaces effortlessly—perfect for vinyl enthusiasts, movie lovers, and audiophiles who demand more.

Experience sound, design, and craftsmanship at its finest.

Designed to Be Superior

Classic 99 follows the form language of its Classic 98 sibling but enhances it with superior craftsmanship:

  • 32mm solid cabinet walls, wrapped in a rich walnut veneer and hand-finished with precision.
  • Minimalist natural aluminium badges and solid billet feet, blacked out to create a floating effect.
  • Grille-free design to maintain an unbroken, clean aesthetic.
  • Down-firing 12” driver that remains unseen but is undeniably felt.
  • Period-correct amplifier panel with white gold-finished controls, exuding vintage charm and luxury.
  • Precision-engineered phase switch, providing a reassuring click that embodies quality engineering.

Classic 99 is a true heirloom piece, built to last for generations.

Driven to Be Louder—And Quieter

REL’s philosophy always begins with the driver. In Classic 99, we integrate a bespoke 12” long-stroke driver, meticulously designed for both power and precision:

  • Hot-pressed paper cone: Lightweight yet stiff, ensuring remarkable strength and durability.
  • Hand-thrown paper centre cap: Randomised fibres create exceptional self-damping, reducing unwanted resonance.
  • Near-silent driver suspension: Producing deep, shock-inducing dynamics with a stunningly black background.

While Classic 99 is capable of immense volume, its true genius lies in its ability to render the quietest details with breathtaking clarity, revealing the composer’s or director’s intended impact.

More Than Ample Amplification

Classic 99 brings big, bold, vintage-inspired character reminiscent of the legendary Stentor II, but at just a third of the price. This powerhouse subwoofer is driven by:

  • 450-watt Class D amplifier, designed for deeper bass and higher output.
  • PerfectFilter™ front end, an all-analogue system extending performance into the low 20 Hz range.
  • Balanced warmth and detail, delivering the best of vintage tone with modern reliability and performance.

By integrating the best aspects of current and past audio technology, Classic 99 delivers a sound that feels nostalgically rich yet incredibly refined.

Less Wiring, More Freedom

REL’s advanced wireless technology brings the future and past together seamlessly.

For the ultimate experience, select our Airship II Wireless System, which supports:

  • REL’s High-Level Connection PLUS .1/LFE, perfect for both music and movies.
  • 5.8 GHz uncompressed wireless transmission, maintaining pristine sound quality.
  • Complete freedom from clutter, eliminating cable sprawl in your living space.

Looking for a more budget-friendly option? Our HT-Air MKII Wireless System offers the same 5.8 GHz wireless performance, delivering flawless Low Level or .1/LFE signals with a 35’ range—all at an incredible value.

Why Choose Classic 99?

  • 12” bespoke pulp-on-paper driver for deep, controlled bass.
