The Perlisten R4b Bookshelf Speaker delivers impressive high-fidelity audio from a compact form factor, representing a versatile option in Perlisten Audio’s R-Series. This 3-way passive loudspeaker features Perlisten’s signature DPC-Array, composed of three 26mm silk dome drivers, ensuring precise imaging and consistent sound dispersion. Two 4-inch HPF (Hybrid Pulp Fiber) woofers provide clear midrange and capable mid-bass, while the R4b’s unique ability to switch between bass reflex (ported) and acoustic suspension (sealed) operation allows for flexible bass tuning (down to 48 Hz in ported mode).

The R4b is THX Ultra certified, guaranteeing its ability to achieve reference-level sound pressure with very low distortion, making it suitable for discerning listeners in smaller rooms or as a powerful surround/height speaker. With robust construction and seamless timbre matching with other R-Series components, the Perlisten R4b is an excellent choice for those seeking premium audio performance in a discreet or space-conscious setup, requiring a quality external amplifier.

The R-series bookshelf is a culmination of S-series patented technology with materials developed from the ground up in every part of the design just like it’s big brothers. The R4b can be the heart of any 2.1 system, LCR for a small theater, or Surrounds using a complete no holds barred R-series system. Silky smooth, loads of dynamic range, and great transient response. Hallmarks of a Perlisten speaker.

The DPC array sits above a 6.5" bass driver covering from 1.25kHz downwards, acting in a sealed cabinet making them very room friendly and easier to site.

Ideally designed to be used with a subwoofer, the R4b will cover 80Hz-20kHz within only a +/-1.5dB deviation, and produce a peak output of 107.6dB.

All of this tech helps the R4b achieve a THX Ultra rating, capable of effortlessly filling large rooms with cinema levels of sound quality.

As with all Perlisten loudspeakers, the R4b is centred around the DPC array, comprising of three 26mm soft domes in a vertical array. The centre dome is the HF unit, covering frequencies above 4.4kHz. The output from this unit is controlled on the horizontal plane to reduce dispersion to focus on the listening position, and reducing HF reflection from side walls. Vertically, its output is highly controlled, vastly reducing sound quality killing floor and ceiling reflections, even in highly reflective rooms.

The flanking 26mm midrange domes cover between 1.25kHz and 4.4kHz, producing a more responsive midrange that is more accurate and less coloured by what would conventionally be a much larger driver.
