Specifications and features
Overview
The Perlisten D212s is a high-end subwoofer designed to deliver exceptional performance in low-frequency reproduction. This powerful and precise subwoofer aims to satisfy the most demanding audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts seeking an immersive sound experience.
Revolutionary Push-Pull Design
The D212s stands out with its unique push-pull configuration, utilizing two 12-inch drivers mounted in opposite orientations. This setup significantly reduces harmonic distortion, resulting in more accurate and natural bass reproduction. The drivers, featuring carbon fiber cones, offer a linear excursion of ±30 mm, ensuring outstanding performance even at high volume levels.
The cabinet structure has been meticulously engineered to minimize resonances and unwanted vibrations. The robust high-quality MDF enclosure provides exceptional rigidity, contributing to the D212s’s sonic purity. Strategically placed internal bracing eliminates unwanted coloration, ensuring faithful reproduction of the original audio signal.
A Powerful Amplifier for Precision
To drive its impressive transducers, the Perlisten D212s is equipped with a high-efficiency Class D amplifier. This amplification section delivers a continuous power output of 3000 W RMS, with peaks reaching up to 6000 watts. This substantial power reserve allows the D212s to handle the most dynamic passages without compression, preserving the integrity of the musical content.
The amplifier also incorporates advanced protection circuits, ensuring the subwoofer’s longevity even during intensive use. An efficient cooling system keeps components at an optimal temperature, guaranteeing stable performance over time.
Remarkable Integration Flexibility
The Perlisten D212s is designed to adapt to a wide variety of audio setups. Its control panel offers numerous adjustment options, enabling seamless integration with main speakers. Adjustable crossover frequency, phase control, and the built-in parametric equalizer provide total flexibility to optimize the subwoofer’s performance according to the room’s acoustics.
Multiple inputs (XLR, RCA, high-level input) make it easy to connect to any type of amplifier or audio processor. The D212s also features an input for a calibration microphone, allowing the use of advanced acoustic correction systems for perfect integration into the listening environment.
Advanced Customization with Dedicated App
To offer maximum flexibility, Perlisten has developed a mobile app compatible with iOS and Android. This intuitive interface allows users to control up to 8 subwoofers simultaneously, each with 3 memory slots for 10 parametric EQ presets. Adjustments for phase, delay, and filtering can be made with remarkable precision, ensuring perfect integration of the D212s into any audio system.
THX Dominus Certification: The Ultimate Quality Standard
The D212s is among the first subwoofers in the world to receive THX Dominus certification. This distinction highlights its ability to deliver exceptional performance in spaces up to 184 cubic meters while maintaining impeccable sound quality. It guarantees users a home cinema experience on par with the best professional theaters.
