Perlisten R210s
Overview
The Perlisten R210s is a subwoofer designed to deliver precise and immersive sound reproduction. Targeted at audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts, it leverages advanced technologies to reproduce low frequencies with both finesse and power. Its refined design and technical performance make it a solid choice for those seeking high-quality sound in an elegant and modern format.
Innovative Design for Deep and Precise Bass
The R210s stands out with its unique push-pull configuration, utilizing two 250 mm fiberglass drivers. This setup significantly reduces harmonic distortion, delivering bass that is both powerful and highly detailed. High-quality components, such as aluminum shorting rings, massive magnets, and multi-layer Nomex suspensions, contribute to the subwoofer’s precision and rapid response.
The R210s is powered by a 1.3 kW RMS short-term amplifier module, capable of delivering impressive power while maintaining perfect control over the drivers. This power is managed by an ARM Cortex M4 32-bit processor and a Ti DSP with 48-bit data paths, ensuring microsecond responsiveness and optimal management of all subwoofer functions.
Unprecedented Usability and Flexibility
The R210s features an ergonomic user interface. Its 2.4-inch color LCD touchscreen provides quick and intuitive access to various settings. For more advanced control, Perlisten offers a dedicated app compatible with iOS and Android, allowing users to fine-tune advanced parameters.
The R210s offers a wide range of sound customization options. Its 10-band parametric equalizer with 3 user presets allows precise adjustment of the subwoofer’s response to the room’s acoustics. The adjustable low-pass filter, ranging from 30 to 160 Hz with slopes of 6 to 24 dB/octave, ensures seamless integration with main speakers.
Certified Sound Quality for the Most Demanding Setups
The R210s has earned THX Dominus certification (when four units are used), a testament to its exceptional capabilities. This is THX’s most demanding certification, ensuring optimal performance even in very large home theater spaces. For smaller setups, a single unit is sufficient to achieve THX Ultra certification.
The R210s boasts an impressive frequency response, reaching 20 Hz (-6 dB) in THX EQ mode. Additional EQ modes for large and small rooms allow the subwoofer’s response to be tailored to different listening environments.
Elegant Design That Combines Form and Function
Despite its impressive performance, the R210s maintains relatively compact dimensions (545 x 380 x 450 mm), making it easy to integrate into various living spaces. Its 44 kg weight reflects the quality of its construction and components.
The piano black lacquer finish adds a touch of elegance, blending seamlessly with modern interiors. This attention to aesthetics makes the R210s as visually appealing as it is acoustically impressive.
Connectivity and Integration: At the Heart of High-End Systems
The R210s offers comprehensive connectivity to integrate seamlessly into sophisticated audio setups. Its balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs and outputs ensure optimal connection with a wide range of audio equipment. The auto-on function and 12V trigger provide perfect synchronization with the rest of the system.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between THX EQ mode and other EQ modes?
THX EQ mode is optimized to meet the strict requirements of THX certification, offering an extended frequency response down to 20 Hz. The Boost (large room) and Cut (small room) modes allow the subwoofer’s response to be adjusted to different room sizes, enhancing or attenuating certain frequencies for better acoustic integration.
Can multiple R210s be used in the same setup?
Absolutely! The R210s is designed to work either as a standalone unit or in a multi-subwoofer configuration. Using four R210s even achieves THX Dominus certification, ensuring exceptional performance in large home theater spaces.
How does the R210s handle volume peaks to avoid distortion?
The R210s uses a combination of advanced technologies to manage volume peaks. Its powerful 1.3 kW amplifier, paired with the ARM Cortex M4 processor and Ti DSP, enables real-time audio signal management. Additionally, the push-pull driver configuration naturally reduces distortion, even at high levels.
What is the importance of THX certification for a subwoofer?
THX certification is a recognized mark of quality and performance in the audio industry. For a subwoofer, it guarantees not only an extended and precise frequency response but also the ability to reproduce high sound levels without distortion, which is essential for an immersive home cinema experience.
Is the R210s suitable for both music and home theater?
Yes, the R210s is designed to excel in both areas. Its precision and speed make it an excellent choice for music, while its power and ability to reach deep frequencies make it ideal for movie special effects. The different EQ modes allow its performance to be tailored to the type of content being played.
