HT-Air MKII — Wireless Freedom, REL Performance

That’s a Wrap with John Hunter:

In today’s home theaters and media spaces, the demand for flexibility is growing and the need for clean, powerful bass. With HT-Air MKII, REL delivers a true wireless solution for theater and music lovers who refuse to sacrifice performance. Explore how this beautifully crafted accessory brings REL quality sound into the wireless age with fast, clean, and uncompromised signal.

What Is HT-Air MKII — The Purpose Behind It?

HT-Air MKII is designed specifically for REL’s HT series subwoofers, but its appeal goes far beyond compatibility. It offers a low-latency, high-performance wireless connection that delivers the full force of your favorite film soundtracks or music sessions without cluttering your space with cables.

  • Supports Low-Level RCA and .1/LFE inputs
  • Transmits using a robust 5.8 GHz wireless platform
  • No digital compression, ensuring your bass remains detailed, dynamic, and true

When you want clean placement options without compromising REL’s signature depth, speed, and impact, HT-Air MKII steps in beautifully.

Performance, Not Just Convenience

What separates HT-Air MKII from generic wireless adapters is its performance-first approach.

  • Uses REL’s 3rd-generation 5.8 GHz chipset
  • Offers 17ms response time — quick enough to keep bass perfectly in sync with your visuals
  • Delivers performance nearly indistinguishable from wired — without the limitations

This isn’t "wireless for convenience." This is wireless for audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts who expect more.

Designed for Those Who Notice the Details

REL customers tend to notice the little things and HT-Air MKII delivers. From its cast acrylic body to the five hand-applied coats of lacquer, every visual element reflects the premium quality REL is known for.

  • Built with a substantial, weighty feel. Designed to sit securely with high-end cables.
  • Glossy black finish complements REL HT models and elevates any setup.
  • Feels like a real component, not a plastic dongle — because it is.

This is wireless that looks as good as it performs.

Plug-and-Play Simplicity

REL believes great gear should be easy to use. HT-Air MKII is our simplest wireless system yet:

  • Press the pairing button on the transmitter until it blinks
  • Do the same on the receiver
  • Done. You’re connected.

No apps. No menus. No syncing nightmares. Just pure REL performance, ready to roll in under a minute.

Real-World Wireless Performance

HT-Air MKII was made to perform where cables can't reach, without making compromises:

  • Maintains signal integrity up to 40 feet (12 meters) — more in optimal conditions
  • Works beautifully in open spaces, large rooms, or design-focused installations
  • Supports both stereo music setups and .1/LFE theater systems

No matter how you listen or watch, HT-Air MKII gives you the flexibility to place your sub where it performs best — not just where the wires let you.

Final Word from John

HT-Air MKII isn’t your average wireless adapter. It’s a full-fledged REL-grade component — engineered for performance, designed with care, and built for people who want the best of both worlds: wireless flexibility and uncompromised bass.

Whether you’re filling a big theater space or just want to clean up your setup, HT-Air MKII delivers — with speed, accuracy, and unmistakable REL character.

Wireless doesn’t mean giving something up. It means getting more.
