perlisten R18s subwoofer
Perlisten's single 18" subwoofer utilises all the high-tech incorporated in the company's flagship models, providing huge output from a relatively small box.
Weighing in at ajust over 57kg, the Perlisten R18s subwoofer is no lightweight. Designed to produce the thunderous LFE soundtracks of modern movies, it is also extremely adept at reproducing the fine nuances hidden in such low bass, usually ignored by most subwoofers. Its speed and agility is betrayed by its appearance, making it a surprising performer in many ways.
The long-throw 18" driver is designed and made by Perlisten, and claim a +/-23.7mm linear excursion.
The sealed cabinet helps produce a smooth in-room response compared to ported subwoofers.
The downloadable control app allows set up and adjust of the R18s from your listening position. There's three modes to choose from (cut, boost, or THX), and set the 10-band parametric equaliser to help smooth out its response in your room. Three individual presets allow easy switching between movie/music listening.
The R18s provides unbalanced RCA inputs and outputs, as well as balanced XLR inputs and outputs.
Other than a power on/off switch, there are no rear controls on the R18s, all controls are via the app or the touch screen mounted on the top of the subwoofer for ease of use and installation.
