Key Features

• THX Certified Ultra: Rigorously tested and certified by THX, guaranteeing reference-level performance and low distortion for a cinematic experience as the director intended.
• Proprietary DPC-Array: The heart of the R7i-C is a patent-pending DPC-Array with three 26mm silk domes, meticulously engineered for exceptional accuracy, smooth response, and controlled dispersion.
• HPF Woofers: Four 165mm (6.5") HPF (Hybrid Pulp Formulation) cone woofers deliver bass that is incredibly stiff, lightweight, and powerful, revealing stunning texture and nuance.
• Perfect Timbre Matching: Shares the same DPC-Array and driver technology as the R7i-LR and the entire R-Series, ensuring a seamless and tonally cohesive soundfield for a truly immersive experience.
• Architectural Integration: Requires a 4.0-inch (101.7mm) mounting depth, making it ideal for installation in standard 2x6 walls or other deep-cavity constructions.
• Horizontal or Vertical Installation: Can be mounted horizontally as a center channel or vertically as an L/R speaker, offering excellent installation flexibility.
• Paintable Grille: Includes a low-profile, perforated grille that can be painted to perfectly match your wall color, allowing the speaker to become truly invisible.

The Invisible Command Center

The R7i-C is designed for the enthusiast who refuses to compromise between aesthetics and performance. It delivers the commanding presence and crystal-clear dialogue of a high-end center channel, all while being completely concealed within your wall. This allows you to design your media room with absolute visual purity, keeping the focus entirely on the screen. Perlisten's meticulous engineering ensures that this architectural speaker doesn't just look good by disappearing; it sounds phenomenal, bringing the full weight and detail of cinematic soundtracks into your room with authority.

Clarity That Cuts Through

The exceptional intelligibility of the R7i-C is a direct result of Perlisten's groundbreaking DPC-Array. This unique driver configuration is a master of dispersion control, focusing the critical vocal frequencies directly towards the listener and minimizing the muddying effects of acoustic reflections. The result is dialogue that is consistently clear, focused, and locked to the on-screen action, regardless of the complexity of the soundtrack. This precision creates a wide, stable listening window, ensuring every seat in the house enjoys a premium experience.

Ultra-Certified Impact

To achieve the THX Certified Ultra standard, a speaker must prove it can handle the full, uncompressed power of a modern movie score without strain. The R7i-C has passed this intense battery of tests, confirming its ability to deliver reference volume levels with incredibly low distortion. This certification is your guarantee that the R7i-C can serve as the powerful and articulate core of a complete THX Ultra cinema, reproducing every explosion, whisper, and musical cue with the stunning fidelity and dynamic impact intended by the creators.
