Description
The Perlisten D8is redefines the very concept of a high-performance subwoofer, offering breathtaking deep bass from a design of unprecedented versatility. This is not just one subwoofer; it's three. Engineered to perform flawlessly as a compact in-room subwoofer, a discreet on-wall solution, or a completely hidden in-wall powerhouse, the D8is delivers. It leverages Perlisten's groundbreaking push-pull driver technology with eight 8.5-inch carbon fiber woofers and a powerful 3000W external amplifier. The result is bass that is incredibly fast, tight, and profoundly deep, all from an enclosure less than 4 inches thick. For the ultimate in performance and design flexibility, the D8is stands alone.
Key Features
- 3-in-1 Design: Uniquely engineered for use as a freestanding in-room subwoofer, a slim on-wall subwoofer, or a flush-mounted in-wall subwoofer.
- Push-Pull, Force Cancellation: Eight custom-designed 215mm (8.5") carbon fiber woofers in a push-pull alignment (force cancellation) cancel vibrations and distortion, delivering exceptionally clean and powerful bass.
- External 3000W Amplifier: Includes a separate, rack-mountable 3000W amplifier, ensuring the subwoofer enclosure remains incredibly slim while providing immense, controlled power.
- Advanced App Control: A comprehensive control app for iOS and Android provides access to a full suite of professional-grade adjustments, including a 10-band parametric EQ, phase control, and multiple crossover presets.
- Ultra-Slim Sealed Enclosure: The heavy-duty, sealed aluminum cabinet is less than 4 inches deep, ensuring incredibly tight, fast, and accurate bass response in any application.
- Flexible Installation: Includes a dedicated stand for in-room use and a mounting bracket for simple on-wall or in-wall installation.
- Color LCD Touchscreen: The external amplifier features a 2.8" color touchscreen for easy access to all settings and presets.
The Shape of Bass
The D8is represents a paradigm shift in subwoofer design. Its genius lies in its extraordinary versatility, offering three distinct installation methods without a single sonic compromise. Use the included stand for a stunningly compact, high-performance in-room subwoofer. Mount it directly on your wall using the supplied bracket for a slim, discreet solution. Or, for the ultimate in stealth audio, install it flush within a standard 2x4 stud wall, where it disappears completely. This 3-in-1 capability, all from a single product, gives you unparalleled freedom to design your space while achieving a level of deep, articulate bass you never thought possible.
Power in a Small Package
At the heart of the D8is's immense power is its push-pull driver technology. Eight custom 8.5-inch carbon fiber woofers work in opposition, an arrangement that cancels out massive amounts of distortion and cabinet vibration. This allows the ultra-slim, sealed aluminum enclosure to remain completely inert, even under extreme pressure. All the power from the robust 3kW external amplifier is converted directly into pure, clean sound, not wasted energy. The result is shockingly deep and impactful bass from a cabinet so thin it almost defies physics.
Precision Control, Perfect Integration
The D8is system separates the power from the subwoofer, housing its 3kW amplifier and advanced DSP in a sleek, rack-mountable external unit. This approach not only enables the subwoofer's slim profile but also provides easy access to its powerful control suite. Through the advanced smartphone app or the amplifier's own color touchscreen, you can command every aspect of the bass performance. A 10-band parametric EQ allows for meticulous room correction, while adjustable crossovers and phase control ensure seamless integration with any speaker system, guaranteeing a perfectly coherent and immersive sound experience.
