Perlisten has introduced a quartet of new R-Series subwoofers at the prestigious AXPONA 2024 event. These new additions to their lineup, namely the R10s, R12s, R15s, and R18s, mark a significant expansion of Perlisten's product range, promising audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts alike an enhanced audio experience.
A standout feature of the R-Series subs is their incorporation of advanced technology derived from Perlisten's flagship D-Series. Engineered by a team of skilled professionals, these subwoofers boast ground-up drivers meticulously crafted to deliver exceptional sound quality.
Key components such as glass fiber composite diaphragms, multiple aluminum shorting rings, massive magnets, multi-layer Nomex spiders, and lightweight aluminum voice coil wire contribute to their unparalleled performance.
Utilizing proprietary nonlinear modeling techniques, Perlisten simulates and optimizes each component to ensure optimal real-world driver performance, both in free air and in-box configurations. Further refinement is achieved through the use of the Klippel laser measurement system, enabling precise tuning for maximum sonic accuracy.
Powering these impressive subwoofers is Perlisten's new 1.0kW amplifier, equipped with a 48-bit data path DSP and 32-bit ARM M4 Cortex processor, ensuring rapid response times for seamless audio reproduction.
All R-Series subs feature a 2.4-inch LCD touchscreen display, allowing users to access advanced settings and controls conveniently via Perlisten's dedicated app. Despite their compact size, these subwoofers deliver robust and immersive sound, making them ideal for both home theater enthusiasts and audiophiles alike.
Designed to reproduce the thunderous low-frequency effects (LFE) found in modern movies, the R-Series subwoofers excel at capturing the subtle nuances often overlooked by lesser models. Their sealed cabinet design enhances in-room response, providing a smooth and accurate audio experience compared to ported alternatives.
In terms of connectivity, the R-Series subwoofers offer unbalanced RCA inputs and outputs, as well as balanced XLR inputs and outputs for added flexibility. Control options include the downloadable app and a convenient touchscreen interface located atop each subwoofer, simplifying setup and adjustments for users.
The downloadable app allows users to customize their listening experience with three different modes (cut, boost, or THX) and a 10-band parametric equalizer to fine-tune the subwoofer's response in any room environment. Additionally, three individual presets facilitate seamless switching between movie and music listening preferences.
