Subwoofers — Perlisten R18S

The R18S is a powered subwoofer from Perlisten, sitting above the R15S within the brand's accessible R series with somewhat greater scale. The R18S brings Perlisten's considered engineering to a more capable dedicated bass-reinforcement format.

Key specs that matter

Rated response spans a wide 20Hz to 288Hz. Internal amplification delivers 1,000W, matching the R15S. At 61.8 x 57.0 x 57.5cm and 57.3kg, the R18S represents a meaningful step up in scale from the R15S.

Sound and use context

Expect more authoritative bass reinforcement than the R15S, reflecting the considerably larger cabinet volume within Perlisten's broader R-series engineering standards.

Pairing

As a self-powered subwoofer, the R18S connects to a preamplifier, integrated amplifier or AV receiver's subwoofer output directly, working alongside a broader main-speaker system.

Alternatives

Perlisten's own R15S sits below this model as a more compact alternative for buyers wanting a smaller footprint.
