The Perlisten D15s is the world’s smallest single subwoofer to achieve THX Dominus certification, delivering reference-grade bass from an enclosure compact enough to disappear into almost any room. A custom 15-inch carbon fiber driver and 2.0kW smart amplifier give the D15s the authority to reach below 16Hz with control and composure that belies its size. For systems where space is limited but performance standards are not, the D15s is the answer.
Key Features of the Perlisten D15s
- THX Certified Dominus: The pinnacle of THX certification, guaranteeing reference-level low-frequency performance in rooms up to 6,500 cubic feet.
- 15" Carbon Fiber Driver: A custom-designed 380mm (15") woofer with an ultra-strong, lightweight carbon fiber diaphragm for incredible transient response and durability.
- 2.0kW Smart Amplifier: An intelligent, high-power amplifier delivering 2000W RMS of clean power, monitored by a 48-bit DSP and 32-bit ARM M4 Cortex processor for ultimate control and safety.
- 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.
- Sealed Enclosure: The heavy-duty, sealed HDF cabinet ensures incredibly tight, fast, and accurate bass response, free from the overhang and group delay of ported designs.
- Color LCD Touchscreen: A 2.4" color touchscreen provides easy access to all settings and presets directly on the subwoofer.
- Massive Motor Structure: The custom driver features a massive 10kg motor, multi-layer spiders, and an oversized 75mm voice coil for extreme power handling and control.
Speed Meets Power
The heart of the D15s is its phenomenal 15-inch carbon fiber driver. This isn't just a scaled-down woofer; it's an engineering marvel designed for maximum performance. The immense motor structure and multi-layer suspension provide absolute control over the lightweight, ultra-rigid cone. This allows the D15s to move with lightning speed, revealing the subtle textures and details in bass notes that other subwoofers blur into a one-note rumble. It's a perfect blend of agility and brute force, delivering bass that is both musically nuanced and cinematically impactful.
Intelligent Foundation
Driving this incredible woofer is a state-of-the-art 2.0-kilowatt smart amplifier. This powerhouse is governed by an advanced 48-bit DSP, which ensures the subwoofer is always operating at its peak potential without ever entering distress. This intelligent monitoring gives the D15s limitless-seeming headroom, allowing it to produce staggering sound pressure levels down to a seismic 16Hz. It's a foundation of sound you can truly feel, rendered with a level of control and composure that is simply breathtaking from a subwoofer this size.
Perlisten D15s App Control and Room Tuning
Perlisten puts complete control in the palm of your hand. The advanced smartphone app (for iOS and Android) connects via Bluetooth to the subwoofer, unlocking a suite of powerful tuning options. With a 10-band parametric EQ, you can tame any room mode and achieve a perfectly smooth in-room response. Adjust phase, polarity, crossovers, and save multiple presets for movies, music, or night-time listening. This level of professional-grade control, also accessible via the 2.4" touchscreen, ensures perfect integration into any high-performance audio system.
