about Perlisten loudspeakers,
Perlisten DPC array,

At the heart of every Perlisten loudspeakers is the DPC array - Directivity Pattern Control, provides controlled dispersion in any type of room, and benefits music and home theatre alike.

As with all Perlisten loudspeakers, the R4s is centred around the DPC array (read more here), comprising of three 26mm domes in a vertical array. The centre dome is the HF unit, covering frequencies above 4.4kHz. The output from this unit is controlled on the horizontal plane to reduce dispersion to focus on the listening position, reducing HF reflection from side walls. Vertically, its output is highly controlled, vastly reducing floor and ceiling reflections.

​

The flanking 26mm midrange domes cover between 1.25kHz and 4.4kHz, producing a more responsive midrange that is far less coloured by what would conventionally be a larger driver.

As the R4s is primarily designed as a wall-mounted effects speaker, the DPC array sits below a 6.5" bass driver covering from 1.25kHz downwards, acting in a sealed cabinet making them very room friendly. They're flexible enough to also be used as all five loudspeakers in a wall-mounted 5.1 surround system, for example, for those wanting a non in-wall, but discrete high performance system.

​

The R4s will cover 100Hz-20kHz within only a very narrow +/-1.5dB deviation, with typical against-wall placement providing a typical in-room bass response down to 42Hz, and produce a peak output of 109.5dB.

​

All of this tech helps the R4s achieve a THX Ultra rating, capable of effortlessly filling medium rooms with cinema levels of sound quality.
