Perlisten R2ic

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.
