Perlisten Audio D8is In-Wall/On-Wall Subwoofer with Amplifier: A Class Apart in Bass Fidelity.

Prepare for an auditory revolution with the Perlisten Audio D8is In-Wall/On-Wall Subwoofer with Amplifier. Representing a culmination of Perlisten’s decade-long dedication to sonic excellence, the D8is creates an entirely new level of fidelity in low-frequency reproduction. This ultimate subwoofer solution offers unmatched linearity, dynamics, and sheer power with the lowest levels of distortion. Pre-order now to experience audio performance truly in its own class.

Unrivaled Power, Unseen Precision:

The D8is is designed to deliver monumental bass from a versatile, discreet form factor. Whether mounted in-wall, on-wall, or placed in-room, it stands as a superb solution for critical listening and advanced Waveforming applications. This isn't just a subwoofer; it's a testament to engineering mastery, pushing the boundaries of what's possible in high-end bass delivery.

Key Features Defining a New Standard:

  • Unique 8-Driver Push-Pull Array: At the core of the D8is is an exclusive array of eight 215mm (8.5") carbon fiber diaphragm woofers. This Push-Pull configuration delivers ultimate linearity and dynamics, ensuring breathtaking low-frequency impact with minimal distortion. Each driver boasts an impressive ±18.0mm of linear excursion.
  • Mechanical Force Cancelling: The innovative woofer array is designed with mechanical force cancelling – each side of the array is acoustically 'in phase' while mechanically 'out of phase'. This results in a dramatic reduction of cabinet vibrations at all frequencies, ensuring purer bass and minimal transmission of unwanted noise to adjacent structures.
  • Proprietary Vibration Isolation Mounting: We've incorporated a versatile vibration isolation mounting solution that adapts seamlessly for in-room, in-wall, or on-wall applications. This ensures consistent, high-performance bass free from enclosure-induced resonance.
  • Immense 3000W RMS Amplifier: Driven by our formidable DSP3000A 3kW amplifier, the D8is commands incredible power and precision. This amplifier, combined with custom DSP, provides unparalleled control and headroom for the most demanding audio.
  • Advanced Digital Processing: All functions and safeties are meticulously controlled by a 48-bit data path Ti DSP engine and a 32-bit ARM M4 Cortex processor. This state-of-the-art digital brain reacts in microseconds, ensuring absolute sonic accuracy and robust performance.
  • Comprehensive Connectivity with Digital Input: The amplifier includes balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs and outputs, now with the added versatility of a digital AES/2 input, allowing for seamless integration into any high-end audio system.
  • Intuitive Control Interface: The amplifier features a vibrant 2.8" LCD color touchscreen display on its front-facing hybrid aluminum/steel chassis. This allows for convenient display in-room or discreet placement in a separate rack-mounted component area.
  • Flexible Sound Customization: Fine-tune your bass with a powerful 10-band parametric EQ and 3 user presets. Adjustments include a low-pass filter (bypass, 30-160Hz, with multiple slopes), variable phase control (0−270∘), and polarity (normal/inverted).
  • Intelligent Power Management: Enjoy seamless system integration with configurable auto turn-on and a 12v trigger via both XLR and RCA inputs.
  • Optimized THX EQ Modes: Tailor the frequency response to your specific room with THX EQ modes including THX EQ (20-290Hz (-6dB)), Boost (Large Room) EQ (16-290Hz (-6dB)), and Cut (Small Room) EQ (25-290Hz (-6dB)).
  • Stunning Finish: Available in a sophisticated Black anodized aluminum matte black finish, the D8is offers both incredible performance and a premium aesthetic.

The Perlisten Audio D8is In-Wall/On-Wall Subwoofer with Amplifier represents the pinnacle of low-frequency reproduction, delivering extraordinary fidelity, dynamics, and impact from a versatile, high-tech platform. Elevate your home theater to a truly reference level.

Our Review

The Perlisten Audio D8is is, without exaggeration, in a class all its own. This subwoofer is a true culmination of Perlisten's decade of innovation, pushing the boundaries of what's possible in low-frequency fidelity. From the moment it fires up, you realize this isn't just powerful bass; it's an orchestra of precision and impact.

The most striking feature is undoubtedly the unique array of eight 8.5-inch carbon fiber drivers operating in a Push-Pull configuration. This isn't just about moving a lot of air; it's about control and linearity. The results are astounding, with dynamics that are both effortless and terrifyingly realistic. What truly sets the D8is apart, however, is its mechanical force cancelling technology. This ingenious design, where opposing drivers are acoustically in-phase but mechanically out-of-phase, dramatically reduces cabinet vibrations to an almost imperceptible level. This means you get cleaner, purer bass that doesn't excite your walls or floor, leading to a much more accurate and impactful sound. It's a game-changer for in-wall/on-wall applications.

The sheer power delivered by the 3000W RMS amplifier is immense, providing limitless headroom for even the most demanding cinematic passages. But power alone is not enough; the sophistication of the 48-bit DSP and 32-bit ARM Cortex M4 processor ensures that every ounce of that power is wielded with absolute precision and sonic accuracy. Features like the digital AES/2 input and the intuitive 2.8-inch touchscreen on the amplifier's sleek chassis add to the premium user experience, offering both display flexibility and advanced control.

Its versatility is another huge asset. Whether you need a top-tier in-room, in-wall, or on-wall solution, or are venturing into complex Waveforming designs, the D8is integrates flawlessly thanks to its proprietary isolation mounting. The various THX EQ modes, 10-band PEQ, and comprehensive control options available via the app mean you can perfectly tailor its immense output to any room. For audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts building a truly reference-level system, the Perlisten D8is is an indispensable component that delivers fidelity, dynamics, and distortion-free performance that few, if any, other subwoofers can match.
