Subwoofers — Perlisten R12S

The R12S is a powered subwoofer from Perlisten Audio, sitting above the R10S within the brand's R-series subwoofer range with somewhat greater internal amplification. The R12S brings Perlisten's considered engineering to a more capable dedicated bass-reinforcement tier.

Key specs that matter

Rated response spans 20Hz to 296Hz. Internal amplification delivers a substantial 1,000W - considerably more than the smaller R10S. At 42.8 x 39.0 x 37.5cm and 26.7kg, the R12S represents a meaningful step up in scale and output from the smaller R10S.

Sound and use context

Expect controlled, authoritative bass reinforcement reflecting the substantial 1,000W amplification, providing genuine additional impact over the R10S within the same broader R-series family.

Pairing

As a self-powered subwoofer, the R12S connects to a preamplifier, integrated amplifier or AV receiver's subwoofer output directly, working alongside a broader main-speaker system.

Alternatives

Perlisten's own R10S sits below this model at more compact scale, while the R212s sits above with even greater amplification, worth comparing directly to find the right Perlisten R-series tier.
