Perlisten R5i-LR

The Perlisten R5i-LR in-wall speaker is a high-end audio solution designed to deliver an immersive sound experience in medium-sized home theater installations. This model combines cutting-edge technology with discreet design to integrate seamlessly into your interior while delivering exceptional audio performance.

Cutting-edge audio technology for immersive sound

Perlisten’s R5i-LR incorporates advanced audio technologies to ensure optimal sound quality. At the heart of this system is the DPC (Directivity Pattern Control) array, consisting of three 26 mm silk domes. This configuration ensures precise directivity control and faithful reproduction of mid and high frequencies. The two 165 mm woofers use a proprietary HPF (High Performance Fiber) pulp diaphragm, the result of two years of development. This combination delivers an extended frequency response from 40 Hz to 32 kHz (-10 dB) and a typical in-room bass extension down to 34 Hz.

A discreet design for perfect integration

Designed to blend harmoniously into your interior, the R5i-LR features a clean, minimalist design. With a mounting depth of just 101.7 mm (4 inches), this speaker fits easily into most standard stud walls. The black baffle and white grille offer a subtle look that blends into the décor. For greater customization, Perlisten also offers piano black and piano white finishes, as well as the option to custom-paint the speakers.

Certified performance for demanding cinephiles

The R5i-LR holds THX Dominus certification, the highest level of THX certification. This distinction attests to the speaker’s outstanding performance, capable of delivering powerful, precise sound in rooms up to 184 cubic meters. With a sensitivity of 89.4 dB and a recommended power handling of 50 to 250 W RMS, the R5i-LR can reach impressive peak sound pressure levels of 113.4 dB while maintaining total harmonic distortion below 3%.

Installation versatility for varied configurations

The R5i-LR stands out for its installation versatility. It can be used as a left or right main speaker behind an acoustically transparent screen, or as a center speaker in a home theater setup. This flexibility allows you to create a cohesive audio system perfectly tailored to your space. In addition, the acoustic suspension design and extruded aluminum rear enclosure minimize sound transmission to adjacent rooms, ensuring optimal acoustic isolation.

Meticulous acoustic engineering for faithful sound reproduction

Perlisten has paid special attention to the acoustic engineering of the R5i-LR. The choice of silk diaphragms for the mids and highs ensures smooth, natural reproduction of voices and instruments. The HPF pulp woofers bring new technology to one of the oldest materials used in loudspeaker design, delivering precise and dynamic reproduction of low frequencies. This combination of technologies achieves a coherent soundstage and a linear frequency response across a wide range.

Perfect integration into multichannel systems

The R5i-LR has been designed to integrate seamlessly into a multichannel audio system. Thanks to Perlisten’s timbre matching technology, all speakers in the R series share the same sonic characteristics, ensuring perfect tonal consistency across channels. This uniformity helps create an immersive and realistic soundstage, essential for fully enjoying cinematic soundtracks and high-resolution music recordings.
