Commander™ .1/LFE Subwoofer Cable
Commander™ is designed to deliver the highest value, best sounding, yet affordable LFE subwoofer cable to-date. It applies lessons learned from its more expensive stablemate Commodore™, offering commanding value with the assembly quality and sonic performance REL are known for. Ideal for REL’s Serie T/x, HT/1003MKII, HT/1205MKII, and Classic 98.
How LFE Makes the Difference
Cables are the neural pathways that connect your systems. Like nerve bundles, they carry the emotion that makes home theatre so powerful. Subwoofer cables are essential, as they deliver the full impact of the low-frequency effects that define the movies and shows we love.
That’s why Dolby requires every theatre to include a dedicated subwoofer (.1/LFE) channel. Commander delivers a balance of virtues; warm, full-bodied bass that effortlessly supports dynamic soundtracks and immersive effects.
REL understands how deep bass interacts with sonic events across the frequency spectrum proven out through more than 35 years of designing world-class subwoofers. That knowledge informs every aspect of REL’s cable design. Commander is the result—an affordable, high performance LFE cable that delivers the experience REL customers expect.
Colour Matched for Any Room
REL customers expect more. Performance? Surely, but also thoughtful design and materials that go above and beyond the norm. That’s why we offer Commander in both White and Black jackets. White blends cleanly into baseboards and lighter floors, while Black disappears against dark hardwoods or carpet. Simple as Black and White.
REL also carried over REL’s reverse-threaded RCA connectors from the Commodore cable. Typical RCA connectors loosen the barrels when you try to wiggle them free to make a change in your system; ours tighten the barrels as you remove the connector. A small but smart detail, with arrow indicators to show signal flow.
Fundamentals Executed the REL Way
REL have over 40 years of experience on their internal cable design team and we know what works and what to avoid. While some cables rely on gimmicky features, Commander skips the fluff that drive up cost and focuses on the fundamentals. The dedicated ground features two levels of noise-attenuation and a twisted-pair hot conductor made of 60 strands of 99.99% pure Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC). The result is a cable that’s both quiet and dynamic. Built to last for years, Commander’s rugged PVC jacket stays clean with a simple wipe of a damp cloth.
A Better Ownership Experience
They’ve already mentioned the reverse-threaded barrels, but it’s worth repeating. REL pays attention to the little things that affect everyday use. Left-handed threads are used to attach the white or black outer barrels on REL’s RCAs. We spend a lot of time in customer homes and helping stores and nothing is as frustrating as having the connector barrel become disconnected when trying to remove a long-seated connector. So, REL’s designers designed these reverse-twist threads so that when you twist the connector to remove it from the AVR, the barrel becomes tighter. Simple? Maybe, but no one else has thought of this.
