Perlisten R5i-C

The Perlisten R5i-C is an in-wall speaker designed to deliver an immersive audio experience for home theater and hi-fi setups. Inspired by the R5t tower, this in-wall model aims to optimize sound performance while seamlessly blending into your space.

Revolutionary Directivity Control

The R5i-C stands out with its advanced directivity control, enabling precise sound management even at the lowest frequencies. This technical achievement is made possible by Perlisten’s DPC (Directivity Pattern Control) array, which utilizes three 26 mm silk domes. This unique configuration ensures optimal sound dispersion and exceptional tonal matching, not only in raw materials but also in critical frequency response, power response, and phase alignment.

Uncompromising Acoustic Design

At the heart of the R5i-C is a 3-way acoustic suspension system. The two 165 mm woofers feature HPF (High Performance Fiber) diaphragms specifically developed by Perlisten. This combination of drivers delivers an impressive frequency response of 80 Hz to 20 kHz (±1.5 dB), with typical in-room bass extension reaching down to 34 Hz.

Certified Home Theater Performance

The R5i-C is more than just an in-wall speaker; it’s a technological powerhouse certified for both THX Dominus and THX Ultra standards. These certifications confirm its ability to deliver cinema-quality sound in medium to large rooms. With a sensitivity of 89.4 dB and a peak SPL capability of 113.4 dB, the R5i-C can effortlessly fill your space with sound while maintaining harmonic distortion below 3%.

Discreet Integration and Installation Flexibility

Despite its impressive performance, the R5i-C remains remarkably compact for a speaker of this caliber. Measuring 298 x 665 x 111 mm with a mounting depth of just 101.7 mm, it fits easily into most standard walls. Its sleek design, featuring a white grille and black baffle, allows it to blend elegantly into any décor.

Acoustic Versatility

The R5i-C excels in versatility. It can be used as a center speaker behind an acoustically transparent screen or as left/right speakers in a multichannel setup. This flexibility makes it an ideal choice for high-end home theater installations, where every component contributes to a cohesive and immersive sound experience.

Cutting-Edge Audio Engineering

Perlisten has poured its expertise into the R5i-C. The use of technologies derived from their flagship S-Series highlights the attention to detail. The choice of silk domes for the midrange and tweeters is deliberate, ensuring smooth and effortless reproduction of mid and high frequencies, contributing to the speaker’s refined sound signature.
