Subwoofers — Perlisten R15S

The R15S is a powered subwoofer from Perlisten, part of the brand's accessible R series, built with an exceptionally wide bandwidth. The R15S brings Perlisten's considered engineering to dedicated bass reinforcement.

Key specs that matter

Rated response spans an exceptionally wide 20Hz to 388Hz - a remarkable upper bandwidth figure for a subwoofer. Internal amplification delivers 1,000W. At 49.8 x 46.0 x 46.5cm and 35.5kg, the R15S maintains a manageable footprint for its considerable amplification capability.

Sound and use context

Expect capable bass reinforcement reflecting the exceptionally wide 20-388Hz bandwidth combined with the substantial 1,000W amplification, suited to extending a main speaker system's low-frequency reach with genuine flexibility across a wide frequency range.

Pairing

As a self-powered subwoofer, the R15S connects to a preamplifier, integrated amplifier or AV receiver's subwoofer output directly, pairing naturally with Perlisten's own R5t or S5t main speakers.

Alternatives

Perlisten's own R18S sits above this model with somewhat greater scale, worth comparing directly to find the right Perlisten R-series subwoofer tier.
