Sound From a Higher Plane

The S3ic elevates the very concept of immersive audio. Its brilliance lies in the newly developed, angled DPC-Array, which is meticulously engineered to direct sound towards the listener, even from a ceiling position. This patent-pending design creates an incredibly large and consistent listening window, ensuring that everyone in the room is enveloped in a seamless bubble of sound. The array's phenomenal control over dispersion minimizes acoustic reflections, resulting in a soundscape that is breathtakingly clear, spacious, and precisely imaged, bringing your favorite movies to life with three-dimensional realism.

Engineered for Invisibility

Perlisten understands that the best architectural speaker is one you can't see. The S3ic is designed for perfect integration, but its beauty is more than skin deep. Housed within the ceiling is a robust, 4mm thick sealed aluminum enclosure. This dedicated back-box is the key to the S3ic's consistent, world-class performance, providing an ideal acoustic environment for the drivers and isolating them from the unpredictable nature of wall cavities. It’s a level of engineering that guarantees the same flawless performance in every installation, with the added benefit of significantly reduced sound leakage to floors above.

Dominus Descends From Above

To earn THX Dominus certification is an incredible feat for any speaker; for an in-ceiling model, it is revolutionary. The S3ic has been rigorously tested to prove it can deliver the massive dynamic range and reference sound pressure levels required for the world's finest and largest private cinemas. This certification is your assurance that the S3ic can create a truly enveloping, high-impact soundfield for all immersive audio formats. Whether it's the subtle pitter-patter of rain or the thunderous roar of a jet overhead, the S3ic delivers every detail with unmatched power and precision.
