12" bass – power and precision in perfect balance

The Perlisten D12s is equipped with a newly developed 12" woofer that combines lightness and rigidity with a carbon fiber membrane to deliver a lightning-fast and precise response. Perlisten has chosen to use a long-stroke design, which means that the D12s has an incredibly long hose length, so you get a basement-deep bass that goes all the way down to 20 Hz. Without distortion.

The long-stroke design allows the unit to move further back and forth without losing control, which helps to deliver higher sound pressure levels and more detailed reproduction. In addition, the unit is equipped with Nomex spiders, which improve the stability and durability of the diaphragm under high loads, and aluminum shorting rings, which reduce magnetic distortion and ensure cleaner sound.

1500 watt RMS amplifier – superior control and power

At the heart of the D12s is an extremely efficient 1500 watt RMS amplifier, specially designed to deliver unparalleled control and power. The amplifier can handle even the most dynamic soundtracks without losing precision. At the same time, the high power ensures that even the lowest frequencies are reproduced with convincing power and purity. This performance enables the subwoofer to perform at the level of the THX Dominus standard when used as part of a subwoofer pair.

THX Dominus certification – highest standard of performance

As one of the few subwoofers on the market, the Perlisten D12s is certified according to the THX Dominus standard. The certification means that the subwoofer can deliver a cinema experience in even the largest rooms. THX Dominus guarantees optimal performance without compromise, even at demanding volume levels or acoustic challenges. However, to achieve the certification in a home cinema setup, the use of two D12s as a pair is required.

ADVANCED DSP WITH OUTSTANDING PRECISION AND LOW DELAY

The Perlisten D12s is equipped with an advanced digital signal processor (DSP) that provides an unprecedented level of flexibility and precision. The DSP works with a 48-bit data path and is driven by a powerful 32-bit ARM M4 Cortex processor, providing advanced signal processing with one of the lowest latency on the market – down to the microsecond range. This technology ensures an extremely fast response and a dynamic reproduction of deep bass frequencies without distortion.

The subwoofer includes a 10-band parametric equalizer, which provides full control over the frequency response. The user can adjust the gain, center frequency and Q value for each band, so that the subwoofer’s performance can be optimized for room acoustics and individual preferences. Basic settings such as volume, phase and crossover frequency can be easily managed via the built-in 2.4” LCD touchscreen, while more advanced adjustments can be made through Perlisten’s dedicated app for iOS and Android. With this powerful DSP, the D12s offers a perfect balance of precision, control and speed, meeting the demands of even the most discerning listeners.

FLEXIBLE EQ PROFILES AND CUSTOM SETTINGS

The D12s is equipped with three preset EQ profiles that make it easy to adapt the subwoofer's sound to different room sizes and acoustic conditions:

• THX EQ: 20-296Hz (-6dB) / 16-380Hz (-10dB) – Optimized for neutral and accurate sound reproduction.
• Boost (Large Room) EQ: 16-296Hz (-6dB) / 14-380Hz (-10dB) – Ideal for larger rooms where extra bass richness is desired.
• Cut (Small Room) EQ: 25-296Hz (-6dB) / 19-380Hz (-10dB) – Perfect for smaller rooms where a more controlled bass is needed.

In addition to the preset profiles, the D12s has the ability to store up to three custom presets. These presets give you complete freedom to tailor the sound for different applications, such as music, movies or gaming. All settings can be adjusted and saved via the app, making it easy to adapt the subwoofer's performance to any situation. With these advanced features, the D12s ensures an optimal and personalized listening experience in any environment.

Cabinet with sandwich construction – reduction of resonance

The D12s cabinet is built to minimize resonance and vibration, resulting in sound reproduction that is clean and undistorted. The choice of materials and construction ensures that all the energy from the driver is used efficiently for sound production, without vibrations reducing clarity. This contributes to the deep and powerful bass experience that the D12s is known for.

Design and flexibility – elegance meets performance

The Perlisten D12s combines cutting-edge technology with a minimalist and exclusive design. Multiple finish options make the subwoofer easy to integrate into any interior. The compact design ensures easy placement, while flexible configuration options make it ideal for both music lovers and home theater enthusiasts.
