Perlisten Audio isn’t just a stereophile company, our products have many use cases including cinema and immersive audio systems. As such, we have an enormous appeal to Integrators who design and engineer next-level systems that yield the ultimate experiences. Those projects require specialized products, ones that can be hidden within walls or behind fabric. These products don’t need a pristine exterior finish as they aren’t meant to be seen. Instead, they need to be installer-friendly and perform! The R18is is one of those performers. This subwoofer can output prodigious amounts of bass and can reach the sub-sonic ranges (below 20Hz) to reveal information you never knew was there, all while remaining hidden. The R18is comes with a 1,500 kW external amplifier that can be placed on an equipment stand or mounted into a 19″ (403mm) rack.

R-Series subs – Trickle down technology from our flagship D-Series, we’ve developed a lineup of single-driver-based subwoofers. Ground up drivers created by our team of engineers. Glass fiber composite diaphragms, multiple aluminum shorting rings, massive magnets, multi-layer Nomex spiders and lightweight aluminum voice coil wire are the key ingredients – Proprietary nonlinear modeling techniques allow us to simulate all these components and then optimize for real world driver performance – free air and in box. Further refinement is performed with the aid of our Klippel laser measurement system to fine-tune the settings. Powered by our new 1.5 kW amplifier, all functions and safety features are controlled by a 48-bit data bath DSP and a 32-bit ARM M4 Cortex processor, capable of reacting in microseconds to ensure sonic accuracy. All R-Series subs share our 2.4” LCD touchscreen display and ability to control advanced settings using our App.

We try and keep on top of our pricing, but it's a mammoth task for one person. So, if you see this product offered cheaper elsewhere, or you are offered it for less elsewhere (proof will be required) and you feel like supporting an extremely independent retailer, do get in touch and we will do our very best to match or beat wherever we can. We can't promise to do so, as there may some extenuating circumstances where we just wouldn't be able to, but we'll always do what we can.

Needs to be like for like - new for new, ex-demo for ex-demo, same colour and specs etc.
