Perlisten Audio S7t Limited Edition Tower Speaker (Pair)

Unveiling a Masterpiece in Acoustic Engineering

In the grand narrative of audio excellence, the Perlisten S7t-Limited Edition floorstanding speakers represent an unparalleled achievement. These speakers are a tribute to the pinnacle of acoustic design, created for audiophiles who demand unmatched performance and exclusivity. With only 50 pairs available globally, the S7t-Limited Edition is a fusion of advanced technology and superior craftsmanship. 

The Heart of the Sound - Advanced Woofer Technology

Central to the extraordinary sound of the S7t-Limited Edition is its enhanced woofer system, designed to break new ground in audio fidelity. With increased linear excursion and reduced inductance, these woofers produce deep, accurate bass without compromising clarity. The updated voice coil and magnetic circuit further minimize distortion and improve transient response, resulting in a pure, uncolored sound.

• Enhanced Low-Frequency Capability: Powerful, controlled bass that maintains detail at the lowest notes.
• Redesigned Voice Coil and Magnetic Circuit: Reduces distortion for clean, accurate sound.
• 20% More Linear Excursion: Greater depth and fullness for an immersive audio experience.

DPC-Array and Thermal Management

Perlisten’s state-of-the-art DPC-Array technology in the S7t-Limited Edition is a testament to its robust power handling. Each transducer is coupled with a substantial aluminum heatsink to prevent thermal compression. This advanced cooling system, including a secondary shorting ring and external copper heatsink, ensures consistent performance even during prolonged use.

• Massive Aluminum Heatsink: Maintains precise sound quality during extended sessions.
• Secondary Shorting Ring: Provides additional cooling to optimize thermal performance.

Precision Crossover Design

The S7t-Limited Edition features a meticulously refined crossover to match the improved woofer and cabinet. Components hand-selected to 1% tolerances and pair-matched within 0.5dB ensure flawless integration and a balanced soundstage. This detail-oriented approach enhances the overall auditory experience.

• Updated Crossover Design: Seamlessly aligns with all components for harmonious sound.
• Hand-Selected Components: Chosen for their top-tier acoustic properties.

Revolutionary TexTreme Carbon Fiber

The use of TexTreme Carbon Fiber in the midrange drivers and woofers sets the S7t-Limited Edition apart. This material offers an exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratio, contributing to dynamic, precise sound with minimal breakup.

• TexTreme Carbon Fiber: Delivers lightweight, powerful audio performance.

Upgraded Cabinet Structure

The S7t-Limited Edition’s cabinet merges aesthetic elegance with functional innovation. Radiused carbon fiber over HDF side panels boosts cabinet stiffness and increases internal volume by 8% without altering the speaker’s footprint. This enhanced structure ensures optimal sound capture and reproduction.

• Radiused Carbon Fiber Panels: Combines visual appeal with greater cabinet rigidity.

Custom Isolation/Damping System

Collaborating with IsoAcoustics, Perlisten designed a custom isolation system for the S7t-Limited Edition. This system mitigates vibrations and internal reflections, resulting in a clearer, more open sound.

• Custom Isolation Feet: Minimizes vibrations for an unaltered listening experience.

Individual Certification and Serial Number

Every S7t-Limited Edition speaker is individually signed and certified by Perlisten CEO Dan Roemer, symbolizing the brand’s dedication to quality and precision. Each pair is one of only 50, ensuring its status as a unique piece of audio history.

• Personalized Certification: A signed and serialized guarantee of exclusivity.

Precision Measurements

Each speaker is subjected to Klippel nearfield scans, providing detailed spinorama data that offers owners an in-depth understanding of their speaker’s capabilities.

• Klippel Nearfield Scans: Comprehensive measurements for full performance transparency.

Proudly Engineered and Manufactured in the USA

INNOVATIVE EVOLUTION

We have reimagined and enhanced everything that makes the S7 exceptional, integrating our learnings to push the boundaries even further. The woofers now feature improved linear excursion, reduced inductance, and enhanced low-frequency performance. While the DPC-Array maintains its original drive units and precise pattern control, all three transducers are now linked to a substantial aluminum heatsink. This upgrade significantly boosts power handling and minimizes thermal compression. Additionally, the crossover has been meticulously updated, with components hand-selected to achieve 1% tolerances. At our U.S. headquarters, CEO Dan Roemer will personally perform final pair matching within 0.5dB, utilizing our Klippel nearfield scanner. Measurement data will be provided to the owner, and each speaker will be signed, certified, and serialized—a masterpiece of unparalleled craftsmanship.

TEXTREME

The TPCD (TexTreme carbon fiber) used in our midrange drive units is also a key element in our woofers, delivering ultra-responsive dynamics and impactful performance down to 20Hz in-room. This cutting-edge material is 30% lighter than standard carbon fiber of equivalent thickness and offers greater strength through a multi-layer stacking process. The distinctive weave efficiently disperses break-up modes, avoiding sharp response peaks while expanding bandwidth. Simply flawless.

CNC MILLED DPC

For the S7t-Limited, we’ve elevated the technology by crafting the DPC array from Aluminum 6061-T6 alloy. A 40mm thick billet is precision-milled with 5-axis CNC machinery to tolerances of 0.1mm, heat treated, and anodized for a refined finish. The true advantage lies beyond aesthetics; this aluminum DPC acts as a massive thermal heatsink for the three dome tweeters, integrating with their existing heatsinks for uniform temperature distribution. This approach enhances power handling and curtails thermal compression, ensuring the entire DPC array functions cohesively and prevents thermal imbalances that could impact performance. This method, akin to audio amplifier design, is a breakthrough in loudspeaker engineering.

IMPROVED WOOFER

We’ve aimed to enhance the transient response, minimize distortion, and maintain deep low-frequency extension. By refining the existing TPCD diaphragm and suspension system, we’ve improved the woofer’s low-frequency capability and thermal regulation. A redesigned voice coil and magnetic circuit enable 20% more linear excursion while decreasing inductance through the use of a secondary shorting ring. This ring doubles as a heatsink within the motor structure and connects to an external copper heatsink using specialized aluminum fasteners. The external heatsink’s placement over the t-yoke assembly allows for convection cooling as airflow passes over the voice coil during motion. These modifications enhance linear excursion, reduce distortion and thermal compression, and elevate transient and midrange clarity.

ISOACOUSTICS ISOLATION

Collaborating with IsoAcoustics engineers and leveraging their patented technology, we’ve developed an exclusive PERLISTEN™ isolation/damping system for the S7t-Limited. This system ensures superior isolation, resisting lateral movement and oscillations while maintaining perfect alignment with the listening position. It mitigates internal reflections from hard surfaces, resulting in improved sound clarity and openness. The substantial 18 kg steel base further stabilizes the speaker, keeping it firmly grounded.

UPDATED CABINET WITH CARBON FIBER

Originally chosen for its aesthetic and structural benefits, the radiused panels also provide an 8% increase in cabinet volume without expanding the footprint. This increased volume maximizes the performance of the redesigned woofers.

RE-DESIGNED CROSSOVER

To elevate the S7t-Limited’s performance, we have overhauled the crossover to match the new cabinet and woofer specifications. For the Limited Edition, all crossover components are sorted to 1% precision, and each speaker pair is hand-matched within 0.5dB at our Madison, WI R&D headquarters. Here, we conduct Klippel nearfield scans, certify, and deliver spinorama measurements of each customer’s speakers.

ENGINEERED & PERCEPTUALIZED IN THE USA

With comprehensive measurement capabilities at our disposal, this exclusive run of S7t speakers will be individually tested and documented. Each unit will be signed and serialized by our CEO, Dan Roemer, ensuring a unique and certified masterpiece.
