Perlisten R4s Surround Speaker
The Perlisten R4s is an angled on-wall surround built to complete an R-Series home theater. Sharing the same advanced driver technology as the rest of the R-Series, the R4s uses the same DPC array, materials, and on- and off-axis response targets, so your surrounds timbre-match the front stage. THX Certified Ultra, the R4s is designed to complete a reference-level home cinema, wrapping you in a seamless, cohesive, and breathtakingly realistic audio experience.
Key Features
- THX Certified Ultra: The R4s carries THX Ultra certification.
- Timbre-Matched DPC-Array: Features three 26mm silk domes in Perlisten's DPC array to perfectly match the voicing and dispersion of the entire R-Series.
- HPF Woofer: A 165mm (6.5") HPF (Hybrid Pulp Formulation) cone woofer provides powerful and articulate mid-bass, critical for conveying the impact of surround effects.
- Perfect Timbre Matching: Shares the same driver materials and sonic signature as the entire R-Series, ensuring a seamless and tonally cohesive soundfield for a truly immersive experience.
- Flexible Mounting: Designed for on-wall mounting with an included bracket, allowing for optimal placement in any home cinema.
- Acoustic Suspension Design: The sealed enclosure ensures tight, articulate, and tuneful bass response, allowing for consistent performance even when mounted directly on a wall.
The Art of Immersion
A truly great home cinema doesn't just put sound in front of you; it places you in the middle of the action. Perlisten designed the R4s to mount with its integral keyhole, on the included flush on-wall bracket, on an optional tilt and swivel bracket, or behind a screen, and it uses the same response targets as the R-Series and S-Series speakers.
Seamless Sonic Integration
The R4s is not an afterthought; it is an integral part of the R-Series ecosystem. It is painstakingly voiced and timbre-matched to its larger siblings, using the same advanced silk dome and HPF driver technologies. This shared DNA is critical, ensuring that as sound effects pan from front to back and all around you, the character of the sound remains perfectly consistent. The result is a seamless, uninterrupted bubble of sound that is utterly convincing and deeply immersive, with no distracting shifts in tone as audio moves around the room.
THX Certified Envelopment
Earning the THX Ultra certification for a surround speaker is a profound statement about its design. The R4s is THX Ultra certified, with 109.5dB peak output.

How does the Perlisten R4s mount on the wall?
How does the Perlisten R4s mount on the wall?
A flush wall bracket comes in the box, and the cabinet also has an integral keyhole mount. For aiming, Perlisten offers its tilt and swivel bracket as an option, which we carry as the Perlisten wall bracket. The R4s can also be mounted behind a screen. Perlisten measured it for flush wall mounting as well as free space.
Can the R4s be used for Dolby Atmos height channels?
Can the R4s be used for Dolby Atmos height channels?
Yes. Perlisten designs the R4s as an angled on-wall surround, versatile enough to be used as any channel. It is a sealed 3-way design with the same three 26mm silk dome DPC-Array as the rest of the R-Series, so heights match the front stage.
How is speaker cable routed to a wall-mounted R4s?
How is speaker cable routed to a wall-mounted R4s?
Through a wire channel built into the cabinet. The binding posts sit near the top of the enclosure with a channel above them, so cable can run straight up or out the top instead of bending behind a speaker that sits close to the wall.
