The protective grille has been specifically developed for this premium model, with particular attention paid to preserving acoustic performance. Long awaited by Perlisten subwoofer owners, this grille meets a real need for protection without compromising the sound quality that has made the brand’s reputation.
Technical Design and Premium Materials
The R18s grille features meticulous design using high-quality materials. Its sturdy metal structure provides effective protection for the driver against accidental impacts, while remaining light enough not to visually weigh down the unit.
The mesh has been precisely engineered to offer an optimal balance between structural rigidity and acoustic transparency. Perlisten’s engineers paid special attention to the spacing and diameter of the metal wires, thus minimizing sound interference while maintaining uncompromising strength.
The mounting points are discreetly integrated into the overall design, allowing for easy installation and removal without special tools. This thoughtful design reflects the attention to detail characteristic of the American brand.
Installation and Compatibility
Installing the grille on the R18s is intuitive thanks to a system of concealed magnetic fasteners. This clever system allows the grille to be securely attached while preserving the subwoofer’s clean look. No tools are required for installation or removal, making daily handling much easier.
Although designed specifically for the R18s model, this grille is part of the range of accessories developed by Perlisten for its entire line of subwoofers. The brand offers grilles tailored to all its models, from the high-end D series to the R series, including more compact models.
It’s important to note that the grille is sold separately from the subwoofer, allowing users to choose whether to add it based on their listening environment and specific needs.

Is the grille included with the purchase of the R18s subwoofer?
