Perlisten Audio R4b – Bookshelf Speaker
Designed to be mounted on an optional stand or mounted to a wall with an optional tilt swivel bracket. Sharing trickle-down technology from the flagship S-Series, the DPC-Array — here based on three 26mm silk domes — guarantees excellent directivity control and timbre matching with all R-Series speakers. The silk diaphragms were developed ground up, chosen specifically for their smooth, effortless representation of midrange and treble. The 165mm woofer is made from Perlisten's proprietary HPF pulp, two years in development, bringing new technology to one of the oldest materials used in loudspeaker design. The R4b is great for mains in a smaller room or part of 2.1 systems, as well as a timbre-matched option as surround for larger R-Series based home cinemas.

Highlights & Key Technologies
DPC-Array & Directivity Pattern Control
At the heart of the R4b's mid and treble performance is the DPC-Array — a directivity pattern control system based on three 26mm silk dome drivers. Sharing trickle-down technology from the flagship S-Series, this array guarantees excellent directivity control and timbre matching with all R-Series speakers. The silk diaphragms were developed ground up, chosen specifically for their smooth, effortless representation of midrange and treble. The DPC-Array patent is USA patent pending.
HPF Woofer
The R4b employs one 165mm woofer made from Perlisten's proprietary HPF (Hybrid Pulp Formulation) — a material two years in development combining long fiber hardwood, bamboo, and wool. This brings new technology to one of the oldest materials used in loudspeaker design, delivering silky smooth, dynamic performance with great transient response.
Mounting Options
The R4b is designed to be mounted on an optional stand or mounted to a wall using an optional tilt swivel bracket. The cabinet features M6 x 1mm thread wall mount points with a vertical hole spacing of 2-3/8" (60.0mm) and horizontal hole spacing of 1-3/8" (35.0mm).
THX Ultra Certification
The R4b is certified THX Ultra.
