Perlisten Audio R5t – Floorstanding Tower Speaker
Designed as a standalone 2-channel high fidelity speaker with the versatility to be used as part of multi-channel systems. 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 woofers are made from Perlisten's proprietary HPF pulp, two years in development, bringing new technology to one of the oldest materials used in loudspeaker design. These woofers can be aligned as bass reflex or acoustic suspension depending on specific tastes.

Highlights & Key Technologies
DPC-Array & Directivity Pattern Control
At the heart of the R5t'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 Woofers
The R5t employs two 165mm woofers 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 rich, dynamic bass matched with advanced mid/treble directivity pattern control.
Enclosure Alignment
The R5t can be aligned as either bass reflex or acoustic suspension depending on specific tastes. In bass reflex alignment, frequency response extends to 24Hz (-10dB) with typical in-room bass extension reaching 21Hz. In acoustic suspension alignment, frequency response extends to 38Hz (-10dB) with typical in-room bass extension of 32Hz.
THX Dominus & THX Ultra Certification
The R5t is certified THX Dominus and THX Ultra.
