Overview
The Perlisten S4i-LCRS is an in-wall speaker designed to seamlessly integrate into a high-quality audio system. Suitable for various roles such as front, center, or surround speaker, it caters to demanding home theater setups, combining exceptional sound performance with discreet aesthetics.
Cutting-Edge Technology for Superior Audio
The S4i-LCRS features Perlisten’s patented DPC-Array (Directivity Pattern Control) technology. This innovative system combines a 28 mm beryllium tweeter with two 28 mm TPCD (Textreme Precision Carbon Dome) domes. This unique configuration ensures precise sound directivity control, delivering crystal-clear highs and lifelike vocal reproduction.
Complementing this setup is a 180 mm Textreme TPCD woofer that handles low frequencies. All components are housed in an extruded aluminum enclosure with a depth of just 4 inches, making installation easier while minimizing sound transmission to adjacent rooms.
Certified Sound for Discerning Cinephiles
The Perlisten S4i-LCRS has earned THX Dominus certification for use as a surround speaker and THX Ultra certification for use as a front or center speaker. These certifications confirm its ability to deliver high-quality sound in spaces up to 184 m³, ensuring an immersive cinematic experience at home.
The S4i-LCRS boasts a frequency response ranging from 42 Hz to 37 kHz, with remarkable linearity of ± 1.5 dB between 80 Hz and 20 kHz. This performance guarantees faithful reproduction across the entire sound spectrum, from deep bass to sparkling highs.
Discreet and Elegant Integration
Designed to blend seamlessly into any interior, the S4i-LCRS features a sleek design with a white grille and black baffle. Its compact dimensions (479 x 298 x 111 mm) allow for easy installation in most walls, while its shallow mounting depth (101.7 mm) makes it suitable even for thin partitions.
The S4i-LCRS’s ingenious mounting system ensures secure and stable installation, delivering optimal acoustic performance in various wall configurations.
Remarkable Acoustic Versatility
The S4i-LCRS stands out for its ability to adapt to different audio setups. Whether used as a left/right front speaker, center channel, or surround speaker, it maintains exceptional tonal consistency. This feature is particularly valuable in multi-channel systems, where sound uniformity is crucial for total immersion.
With a sensitivity of 88 dB and a nominal impedance of 4 ohms, the S4i-LCRS is compatible with a wide range of amplifiers. Perlisten recommends an amplification power between 50 and 250 W RMS to fully harness the speaker’s dynamic potential.
Robust Construction for Long-Lasting Performance
The extruded aluminum enclosure of the S4i-LCRS is not only visually appealing but also plays a critical role in its acoustic performance. This rigid construction minimizes unwanted resonances and ensures optimal thermal stability, contributing to the product’s durability and reliability.
Weighing in at 11.2 kg, the S4i-LCRS reflects the high-quality materials and solid construction. This robustness ensures consistent performance over time, making it a lasting investment for audio enthusiasts.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between THX Dominus and THX Ultra certification for the S4i-LCRS?
THX Dominus certification is more stringent and applies to the S4i-LCRS when used as a surround speaker in large spaces, while THX Ultra certification applies to its use as a front or center speaker in medium to large rooms.
Does the S4i-LCRS require a subwoofer?
While the S4i-LCRS offers bass extension down to 42 Hz, adding a subwoofer can enhance deeper bass reproduction, especially in a home theater system.
Can the grille of the S4i-LCRS be painted to match the decor?
Yes, the grille of the S4i-LCRS can be painted to perfectly match your interior. It is recommended to use suitable paint and follow the manufacturer’s instructions to avoid affecting acoustic performance.
What is the angular coverage of the S4i-LCRS?
Thanks to its DPC-Array technology, the S4i-LCRS provides wide and uniform sound dispersion. However, Perlisten does not provide specific data on the coverage angle. The speaker is designed to deliver a coherent soundstage across a broad listening area.
Is the S4i-LCRS compatible with multiroom audio systems?
Yes, the S4i-LCRS can be integrated into a multiroom audio system. However, as a passive speaker, it will require a compatible amplifier to function within your multiroom setup.
