Deep, controlled bass — made for cinema and music alike.
As part of the more accessible R-Series, the Perlisten R15s inherits key technologies from the flagship D-Series while offering a more budget-conscious path to high-performance sound. Its biggest strength? Versatility.
🎬 Surround or Stereo: It Adapts to You
Designed to shine in both home theater and high-end stereo setups, the R15s features a single 15-inch (380 mm) long-throw woofer mounted on the front. You see it in action, especially during high-impact scenes — and feel it too.
Its sealed acoustic enclosure delivers ultra-tight, accurate bass even at high SPLs. While it doesn’t use the D-Series’ push-pull dual drivers, its single woofer design, carefully engineered, performs brilliantly — especially in multi-sub setups.
📱 Total Control, At Your Fingertips
The R15s is equipped with a 2.4” color touchscreen, but its true power lies in the mobile app (iOS & Android), connecting via Bluetooth LE. With it, you can control:
-
A 10-band parametric EQ with 3 user presets
-
Three EQ modes: THX, Boost (large room), and Cut (small room)
-
Adjustable phase, low-pass filter, polarity, and more
In Boost mode, it reaches down to 16 Hz at -6 dB, which is exceptional at this price point.
🔧 Seamless Integration
Thanks to balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA I/Os, the R15s is easy to use as a standalone sub or in a multi-subwoofer configuration. The app supports managing multiple R-Series subs simultaneously. For ultimate optimization, pair with a processor supporting Dirac Live Bass Control (like the NAD M66 or select Denon/Marantz models).
