The Perlisten R2ic is the versatile, high-performance solution for bringing immersive audio into any room, without compromising on clarity or aesthetics. This is not just an ordinary in-ceiling speaker; it is a precision instrument, designed to deliver the acclaimed sonic signature of the R-Series from a source that is heard but not seen. Featuring an angled driver array and premium componentry, the R2ic is THX Certified Ultra, making it a perfect choice for height channels in a Dolby Atmos or DTS:X system, or as a discreet LCR and surround speaker in a multi-purpose media room. Key Features THX Certified Ultra: Rigorously tested and certified by THX, guaranteeing reference-level performance and low distortion for a cinematic experience as the director intended. Angled Baffle Design: The entire driver array is angled at 30-degrees to direct sound towards the primary listening area, ensuring a focused, clear, and immersive performance. Timbre-Matched Drivers: Features a 28mm silk dome tweeter and a 165mm (6.5") HPF woofer, sharing the same technology as the R-Series to guarantee a seamless sonic match. HPF Woofer: The 165mm HPF (Hybrid Pulp Formulation) cone woofer is incredibly stiff and lightweight, delivering articulate and powerful mid-bass for its size. Ultimate Versatility: Engineered to be used as a Left, Center, Right, surround, or height channel speaker, providing maximum flexibility for system design. Acoustic Suspension Design: The sealed enclosure ensures tight, predictable bass response and minimizes sound leakage into adjacent floors. Paintable Grille: Includes a low-profile, perforated magnetic grille that can be painted to perfectly match your ceiling color, allowing the speaker to become truly invisible. Sound That's Perfectly Aimed The key to the R2ic's exceptional performance is its intelligent design. The entire driver system is mounted on a baffle that is angled at 30 degrees. This clever engineering ensures that even when mounted directly overhead, the sound is aimed precisely at the listening position, not fired straight down at the floor. This angled dispersion dramatically improves clarity and focus, creating a much more direct and engaging soundfield. It's the perfect solution for creating convincing overhead effects for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X that truly feel like they are in the room with you. The R-Series Signature The R2ic is a true member of the Perlisten R-Series family. It uses the same advanced driver materials, including a fluid, detailed 26mm silk dome tweeter and a powerful, articulate 6.5-inch HPF woofer. This shared DNA is crucial for creating a truly cohesive and immersive sound system. As audio pans from your main speakers to the height channels, the character and tone of the sound remain perfectly consistent. This seamless integration allows the speakers to disappear, leaving you with a single, enveloping bubble of sound that is utterly convincing. The Ultra Advantage, Overhead Achieving THX Ultra certification is a formidable challenge, and it's your guarantee of a true high-performance experience. This certification confirms that the R2ic has the low-distortion output and dispersion characteristics needed to excel in a demanding home cinema. It can effortlessly reproduce the dynamic range of modern movie soundtracks, whether it's providing subtle atmospheric effects or the impactful roar of an overhead jet. This certification gives you the confidence to build a complete THX Ultra system with precision, power, and perfect integration.
