Perlisten R5c

The Perlisten Audio R5c center speaker is a cornerstone for any high-end home theater system. Designed to deliver natural and precise vocal reproduction, it combines innovative technologies with superior build quality to satisfy the most demanding audiophiles.

A Revolutionary Technological Core

At the heart of the R5c lies Perlisten’s patented DPC-Array (Differential Pressure Control) technology. This unique configuration features three 26 mm silk dome tweeters, with a central tweeter flanked by two peripheral tweeters. This arrangement ensures precise sound directivity control, providing uniform sound dispersion and remarkable frequency coherence.

The DPC-Array works in harmony with two 165 mm woofers equipped with proprietary HPF (High Performance Fiber) diaphragms. These in-house developed mid-bass drivers deliver fast response and minimal distortion, contributing to exceptional clarity in voices and sound effects.

Reference-Level Acoustic Performance

With a sensitivity of 88.6 dB (2.83V/1m) and a nominal impedance of 4 ohms, the R5c is compatible with a wide range of amplifiers. Perlisten recommends amplification power between 100 and 250 W RMS, allowing the speaker to fully unleash its dynamic potential.

The frequency response ranges from 49 Hz to 32 kHz (-10 dB), with an impressive linearity of ± 1.5 dB between 80 Hz and 20 kHz. This outstanding performance ensures faithful voice reproduction and seamless integration with the system’s front and surround speakers.

Elegant and Functional Design

Available in Piano Black or Piano White finishes, the R5c blends seamlessly into any interior. Its compact dimensions (240 x 550 x 270 mm) make it easy to place under a screen or within a cabinet, while its 15 kg weight reflects its high-quality construction.

The R5c’s sleek and understated design is enhanced by a removable magnetic grille, which protects the drivers while maintaining the speaker’s clean aesthetic when removed.

Cinematic Versatility

While primarily designed to excel in dialogue reproduction, the R5c is equally adept at handling sound effects and music. Its ability to manage high sound pressure levels (up to 112.6 dB peak) without audible distortion makes it a perfect companion for intense action scenes.

The THX Dominus certification confirms the R5c’s capability to perform in large home theater spaces, up to 184 m³, while maintaining impeccable sound quality.

Perfect Integration in a Perlisten System

Although the R5c can integrate into any high-end home theater system, it reaches its full potential when paired with other speakers from Perlisten’s R series. The tonal consistency across the range creates an immersive and perfectly cohesive soundstage.

For deep bass enthusiasts, Perlisten offers a range of high-performance subwoofers, such as the D215s or D212s models, capable of reaching down to 16 Hz and ideally complementing the R5c’s capabilities in the lowest frequencies.
