Home-theatre bass foundation
The Elac Varro Reference RS500 is a 10-inch powered subwoofer built for home-theatre enthusiasts who want authoritative low-frequency impact without adding a separate amplifier. Its 500-watt continuous BASH amplifier drives a two-layer high-excursion paper-and-aluminium cone to deliver deep, room-filling bass for movies and music.
Step up from compact or passive subs
Owners of smaller sealed subs or passive designs that rely on an external amp will hear a clear jump in output and control. The 1000-watt peak capability handles explosive soundtrack moments cleanly, and the auto EQ app measures the room response so the upgrade pays off immediately in any listening space.
Straightforward placement and wiring
RCA line-level, speaker-level and 12-volt trigger inputs cover virtually any receiver or processor, while the Ethernet port enables third-party control systems. The only common pitfall is skipping the app-guided EQ calibration, which leaves the sub unmatched to the room and wastes the available headroom.

Questions about this item
What clearance does the 10 inch driver need for rear port airflow?
Allow at least 12 inches behind the cabinet so the bass reflex port can breathe without turbulence.
Which input do I select first when the app runs auto EQ on iOS or Android?
Connect the RCA line level or speaker level feed, run the app calibration, then engage the 12 V trigger so the amp powers on with the system.
When should I expect to replace the BASH amplifier fuse after heavy 500 W RMS use?
The internal fuse is rated for the amplifier’s full 1000 W peak capacity and typically lasts the product lifetime unless a fault occurs.
