THE FIRST THX CERTIFIED DOMINUS IN-WALL SPEAKERS FROM PERLISTEN AUDIO

Perlisten Audio has introduced the first in-wall speaker to achieve THX Dominus specification.

Perlisten Audio have announced the availability of the world’s first THX Certified Dominus in-wall speakers to home theatre designers. The new models, available this Autumn, utilise the same technologies that are rapidly making a name for the company’s HiFi speakers.

CUSTOM INTEGRATION

“Perlisten Audio is committed to the custom integration channel,” says Perlisten’s Dan Roemer. “The in-wall models are created to give installation professionals high performance for their largest projects from demonstrably improved in-wall speakers.”

PERLISTEN AUDIO S7I-LR FLAGSHIP IN WALL

The flagship Perlisten Audio S7i LR, which measures just under a metre in length and only 4” deep, is a 4-way system comprising four 7” woofers and Perlistens’s patent-pending Directivity Pattern Control (DPC) waveguided array of 28mm tweeter and twin 28mm midrange drivers. By utilising passive “beamforming”, the proprietary waveguide is designed to achieve the precise vertical and horizontal dispersion of the beryllium tweeter, with expanded bandwidth to 40kHz, and the twin midrange transducers. All three DPC drivers are housed within a dedicated rear absorption chamber to minimise internal reflections. The S7i LR’s fully sealed S-series cabinet is of aluminium and similarly damped with a bituminous layer to ensure a consistent frequency response with no enclosure resonances or sound leakage in any installation.

THX CERTIFIED DOMINUS

THX Certified Dominus demands more than double the output levels of the THX Certified Ultra specification, so the tweeter and dual midranges that comprise the DPC share the same high-power motor technology, utilising oversized Neodymium motors, shorting rings for low inductance, flux stabilization with low distortion, and Ferrofluid for power handling. The S7i LR’s four 7” woofers recreate the dynamic range needed for huge transients while remaining under control.

“THX is an important partner for our company. We were the first to introduce a THX Certified Dominus product, and I’m proud that our team can present yet another first with our new S Series in-wall designs,” says Dan Roemer, chief executive officer, Perlisten Audio. “It marks the first time a manufacturer has been able to achieve this specification in an in-wall model, created for the largest private theatres.”

BRIDGING THE GAP

Dominus is the newest and the largest performance class of THX certification, meant to bridge the gap between large home theatre speakers and those used in commercial movie theatres and exhibits. Home theatre owners with rooms up to 184 cubic metres and up to a 6-metre viewing distance can fill their listening rooms with the audio quality they expect from THX Certified products.
