D3is exceptionally good-looking
Dynamic, accurate, fast, minimal, and exceptionally good-looking. This is the little sibling to the D8is subwoofer, which is perfect for music and movie lovers and can be used on-wall, or in-wall.
d3is overview
The D3is is a beautiful subwoofer made from HDF wood, which houses three 203mm (8″) woofers with glass fibre cones. The D3 comes with brackets to mount it on a wall or within a structure. The D3 also comes with an external DSP-controlled 1,500-watt amplifier and rack ears if you desire to mount it into a standard 403mm (19″) equipment rack. Don’t be fooled by its diminutive size. This is a highly capable and aesthetically pleasing subwoofer.

It's all in the details
D3is – Designed for applications where space is a premium. The D3is works equally well mounted in-wall or on-wall. Proprietary isolation mounts
and brackets are designed into the enclosure to reduce overall vibration and noise from transmitting to the adjancent wall. The sub was designed
using proprietary nonlinear modeling techniques that allow us to simulate and then optimize for real world driver performance – free air and in
box. Further refinement is done with the aid of our Klippel laser measurement system to dial things in. Powered by our 1500W amplifier now in
its own chasis, utilizing a larger 2.8” LCD touchscreen display. Rack mounting hardware is included. Common to all Perlisten subs, all functions
and safeties are controlled by a 48-bit data path DSP and 32-bit ARM M4 Cortex processor, able to react in microseconds ensuring sonic accuracy
Amplifier DSP 1500 for the R18 and D3is
The R18 and the D3is utilizes a specially designed DSP1500, external 1,500-watt amplifier. This amplifier can be used with the integrated feet as a standalone product or with the included rack ears. The DSP1500 occupies two rack spaces and features both front and rear mounts. Ventilation flows from the front to the back; when deploying multiple units, there’s no need for a blank rack space between units.
