Perlisten R2ic
Overview
The R2ic stands out for its ability to adapt to a wide range of audio configurations. Whether for a multiroom audio system, an immersive home theater, or a Dolby Atmos setup, this speaker excels in every role. Its design allows it to function as a main speaker, center channel, surround speaker, or even as a height effects channel, offering unmatched flexibility for demanding audio enthusiasts.
Revolutionary Acoustic Technology
At the heart of the R2ic lies a major innovation: the DPC (Directivity Pattern Control) system. This technology, patented by Perlisten, uses a sophisticated waveguide to control sound dispersion with remarkable precision. The result is an expanded listening area and an exceptionally linear frequency response, maintaining a variation of only ± 1.5 dB between 100 Hz and 10 kHz.
Reference-Level Audio Performance
The R2ic makes no compromises on sound quality. Equipped with a 28 mm silk dome tweeter and a 165 mm cellulose pulp cone woofer, it delivers an extended frequency response from 44 Hz to 27 kHz (-6 dB). Its sensitivity of 86 dB and nominal impedance of 6 Ω make it an easy load for most amplifiers, while its ability to handle up to 150 W of power ensures impressive dynamics.
Discreet and Elegant Integration
With a diameter of 343.3 mm and a depth of 153.1 mm, the R2ic fits seamlessly into most standard ceilings. Its sleek design and optional magnetic grille allow it to blend into any décor while delivering exceptional sound performance. Installation is simplified with a recommended cutout diameter of 305 mm, making the R2ic accessible to both professional installers and skilled DIY enthusiasts.
Total Sound Immersion
The R2ic truly shines in modern immersive audio setups. Its compatibility with Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and Auro-3D formats makes it an ideal choice for cinephiles looking to create a three-dimensional sound experience at home. The precision of its sound dispersion, optimized for a 30-degree reference axis, ensures remarkable consistency with other speakers in the Perlisten range, guaranteeing perfect tonal uniformity throughout the listening space.
Advanced Acoustic Engineering
Every component of the R2ic has been specifically developed for this speaker, utilizing advanced acoustic modeling techniques. The DPC waveguide, in particular, represents a significant breakthrough in directivity control, enabling precise management of mid and high frequencies. This approach ensures not only exceptional clarity in vocals and treble but also remarkable sound coherence across a wide listening area.
Certified Quality Assurance
The R2ic doesn’t just impress on paper; it has also earned the THX Ultra certification, a recognized benchmark of quality in the audio industry. This certification confirms the speaker’s ability to deliver high-level performance in large listening spaces, solidifying its status as a premium speaker.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the R2ic and the R3ic?
The R2ic is a simplified two-way version of the R3ic, which is a three-way model. The R2ic offers exceptional performance in a more compact format and at a more accessible price, while retaining the DPC technology and signature sound quality of Perlisten.
Does the R2ic require a subwoofer?
While the R2ic delivers impressive bass extension for an in-ceiling speaker, adding a subwoofer can be beneficial for home theater systems or for listeners seeking even deeper low-frequency response.
Can the R2ic be used as a main speaker in a stereo system?
Absolutely. The R2ic’s sound quality and extended frequency response make it an excellent option for a high-quality stereo system, especially in spaces where floor-standing speakers are not desirable or feasible.
How does the R2ic compare to traditional in-ceiling speakers?
The R2ic stands out with its advanced DPC technology, THX Ultra certification, and sophisticated acoustic design. These features enable it to deliver significantly superior sound quality and dispersion compared to conventional in-ceiling speakers.
Is it necessary to use the speaker with a specific amplifier?
No, the R2ic is designed to be compatible with a wide range of amplifiers. However, to maximize its performance, it is recommended to use a quality amplifier capable of delivering between 50 and 150 W per channel.
