Description

The Perlisten S5c is the agile and powerful core of a reference-level home cinema, engineered to bring breathtaking clarity and precision to the most important speaker in your system. As the perfectly matched center for the S5t towers, the S5c utilizes the exact same groundbreaking DPC-Array, ensuring a sonically seamless front soundstage where imaging is flawless and pans are fluid. Certified to meet the stringent demands of THX Ultra, the S5c delivers dialogue with pristine intelligibility and handles the most dynamic movie soundtracks with an effortless power that belies its size, anchoring your cinematic experience with unerring accuracy.

Key Features
  • THX Certified Ultra: Guaranteed to deliver professional cinema reference levels in rooms up to 3,000 cubic feet.
  • Proprietary DPC-Array: The core of the speaker is the patent-pending DPC-Array, featuring a central 28mm Beryllium tweeter flanked by dual 28mm TeXtreme mid-range domes for phenomenal accuracy and dispersion control.
  • Perfect Timbre Matching: Shares the identical DPC-Array as the S5t tower and S5m monitor, ensuring a perfectly cohesive and immersive soundstage.
  • Beryllium Tweeter: The 28mm Beryllium dome tweeter provides incredible high-frequency detail and extension, delivering sound with pristine clarity and without harshness.
  • TeXtreme TPCD Woofers: Two 180mm TPCD (Thin Ply Carbon Diaphragm) woofers provide bass that is incredibly fast, articulate, and powerful.
  • Acoustic Suspension Design: The sealed enclosure ensures tight, articulate bass and allows for consistent, predictable performance when placed in cabinets or near walls.
  • Advanced Crossover Design: A meticulously engineered crossover network seamlessly integrates all drivers for a smooth, linear response across the entire frequency spectrum.
The Voice of Your Theater

In any surround sound system, the center channel is the hero, responsible for delivering up to 70% of a movie's soundtrack, including all critical dialogue. The S5c is engineered to be a hero. Its performance is defined by the DPC-Array, which masterfully controls how sound radiates into your room. By focusing the sound towards the listener and away from reflective surfaces, it ensures that every word is heard with crystal clarity. The result is unparalleled vocal intelligibility and a stable, focused image that locks the on-screen action directly to the sound you hear.

Unwavering Composure, Explosive Dynamics

The S5c is built to handle the most demanding cinematic moments without flinching. The dual 180mm TeXtreme woofers are incredibly light yet phenomenally rigid, allowing them to start and stop on a dime. This speed translates into a dynamic, impactful performance where explosions have visceral weight and subtle atmospheric effects are rendered with delicate precision. The acoustic suspension (sealed) design further enhances this control, delivering a tight, tuneful bass response that is free from the boominess that can plague lesser center channel speakers, especially when placed inside furniture.

Certified Cinematic Excellence

Achieving THX Ultra certification is a rigorous process, a guarantee that a speaker meets the highest standards for cinematic reproduction. The Perlisten S5c has passed hundreds of tests to prove it can deliver reference-level volume with vanishingly low distortion. This certification ensures that the S5c can create a massive, enveloping soundfield that accurately translates the filmmaker's original vision. It’s your assurance that you are hearing every detail, every dynamic swing, and every emotional cue exactly as it was intended to be heard, creating a truly immersive and professional cinema experience.
