Perlisten R7c – Center Channel Speaker

Perlisten Audio R7c – Center Channel Speaker

Designed as a center channel to complement the R-Series speakers as part of a multi-channel system, and particularly well suited to work with the R7t and R5t. The R7c features the renowned DPC-Array and long-excursion woofers for astonishingly low distortion and controlled directivity down to 500Hz, delivering the critical tonal balance and clarity required at the center channel. 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. Grills are optional.

Highlights & Key Technologies

DPC-Array & Directivity Pattern Control
The R7c features Perlisten's proprietary DPC-Array, which controls mid-to-high frequencies using three 26mm silk dome tweeters, ensuring excellent directivity control and timbre matching with all R-Series speakers, with controlled directivity down to 500Hz. All transducers are developed from the ground up by Perlisten's engineers, leveraging decades of research. Utilizing advanced COMSOL acoustic modeling, the DPC-Array is the result of 18 months of painstaking simulations and prototyping, developed in collaboration with companies in the USA and Sweden to bring modern material science to hi-fi. The result is a tweeter/waveguide DPC-Array that delivers exceptional accuracy, smoothness, and directivity control, enabling it to handle the critical vocal range and delicate treble with precision. All R-Series speakers share the same DPC-Array and benefit from Perlisten's unique timbre matching technique across the entire series. The DPC-Array is protected under U.S. Patent No. 12,047,738 B1.

HPF Woofers
The R7c employs four 165mm woofers made from Perlisten's proprietary HPF (Hybrid Pulp Formulation) — a material combining long fiber hardwood, bamboo, and wool — used for predictable low-frequency performance, making them ideally suited for multi-channel systems.

R-Series Compatibility
The R7c is designed as a center channel to complement the R-Series speakers in a multi-channel system, and is particularly well suited to work with the R7t and R5t. All R-Series speakers share the same DPC-Array and benefit from Perlisten's unique timbre matching technique across the entire series.
