Perlisten's new entry level range of subwoofers utilise all the high-tech incorporated in the company's flagship models, providing the same characteristics, along with big output from a relatively small box.
perlisten R8s subwoofer
Weighing in at almost 15kg, the baby Perlisten R8s subwoofer is certainly no lightweight. Designed to produce the thunderous LFE soundtracks of modern movies from a compact box, 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 8" driver is designed and made by Perlisten, with a +/-28mm 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 R8s 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 R8s 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 R8s, all controls are via the app or the touch screen mounted on the top of the subwoofer for ease of use and installation.
