Perlisten Audio R4s – Surround Speaker
Designed to be mounted with an integral keyhole, optional tilt/swivel bracket, or mounted behind screens. 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. Optimized for smooth power response (2pi or 4pi), the R4s is designed to work well as part of a larger R-Series system, versatile enough to be used as any channel. A flush mount on-wall bracket is included.

Highlights & Key Technologies
DPC-Array & Directivity Pattern Control
At the heart of the R4s'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, ensuring no sacrifices are made in timbre matching simply because it is a surround channel. 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 & Smooth Power Response
The R4s 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. The R4s is optimized for smooth power response in both 2pi and 4pi environments, making it versatile enough to be used as any channel in a larger R-Series system.
Mounting Options
The R4s features an integral keyhole mount (M6 x 1mm thread) and includes a flush mount on-wall bracket. An optional tilt/swivel bracket is also available. The speaker can additionally be mounted behind screens. The cabinet features a 10° angled tilt capability and an integrated wire channel.
THX Ultra Certification
The R4s is certified THX Ultra.
