Perlisten S7i-C In-Wall Center Channel Speaker

The center channel is the soul of a home cinema, and the Perlisten S7i-C in-wall center channel delivers it at a level rarely heard from an in-wall speaker. Engineered as the sonic counterpart to the S7i-LR, it brings the vocal clarity and dynamic power of Perlisten's flagship designs to a form that disappears into your architecture. It is the world's first THX Certified Dominus in-wall center channel, so it can anchor the most demanding systems and render every line of dialogue exactly as the filmmakers intended.

Key Features of the Perlisten S7i-C

• THX Certified Dominus: The first in-wall center channel in the world to reach THX's highest performance class, for reference sound in large, high-end home cinemas.
• Flagship DPC-Array: The same patent-pending DPC-Array as the S7t tower and S7c center, with a 28mm beryllium tweeter and dual 28mm TeXtreme TPCD midrange domes for precise accuracy.
• Perfect Timbre Matching: Carries the same voice as the S7i-LR and the S-Series freestanding speakers for a cohesive front stage.
• Four TeXtreme TPCD Woofers: Four 180mm TeXtreme TPCD woofers deliver powerful, fast, articulate bass with full cinematic impact.
• Integrated Aluminum Enclosure: A shallow 4-inch mounting depth and a rigid, integral aluminum back-box keep performance consistent in 2x6 or deeper stud walls while minimizing sound leakage into adjacent rooms.
• Symmetrical Driver Layout: The driver array is symmetrical for even horizontal dispersion, which is critical for covering a wide seating area with consistent sound.
• High SPL Capability: Reaches 119.8dB peak sound pressure levels with very low distortion.

The Invisible Anchor

The S7i-C is built to be the steady anchor of a reference-grade architectural cinema, with power and precision that stay completely hidden so your screen and room design take center stage. That comes down to the integral aluminum enclosure, which gives the drivers a rigid, optimized acoustic environment. The result is world-class performance in every installation, free from the inconsistencies that affect other in-wall speakers, and a powerful, predictable result every time.

Clarity That Commands Attention

At the heart of the S7i-C is the DPC-Array, which lifts vocal reproduction to another level. By controlling how sound radiates into the room, it minimizes reflections and renders dialogue with realism and clarity, so every word cuts through the most complex soundtracks. That focused dispersion also creates a wide, stable listening window, so every seat in the room gets the same performance.

Dominus-Certified Power

Achieving THX Dominus certification is the ultimate proof of a speaker's capability, and for an in-wall center channel it is a major feat. The S7i-C has been pushed to its limit, proving it can handle the full, uncompressed dynamic range of modern film scores at reference volumes without strain. It delivers thunderous impact and subtle nuance with equal poise, for a cinematic experience that is not just heard but felt. This is the pinnacle of architectural audio, uncompromised and unseen.

Complete the Perlisten Architectural System

The S7i-C is the flagship center channel of Perlisten's S-Series in-wall line, voiced to match the rest of the architectural range so the whole front stage shares one sound:

• Pair it with the S7i-LR for the left and right channels, its matching in-wall flagship.
• Scale the system to the room with the S5i-LR and S5i-C, or use the multi-purpose S4i-LCRS for surround duties.
• Add height and overhead channels with the S3ic in-ceiling speaker.
• Prefer to mount on the wall rather than in it? The Perlisten X-Series on-wall speakers share the same design language.
