Perlisten A2s Surround Sound Speaker; Each

One carbon fiber woofer and a Teteron dome tweeter in a compact sealed enclosure that mounts directly to a wall, or to a ceiling with Perlisten's tilt and swivel wall bracket. The Perlisten A2s is designed for surround use in cinema and immersive audio setups, equally suited to side, rear and top channels. It shares the same driver technology as the rest of Perlisten's A-series lineup, so your surround channels match tonally with your front speakers. With 109.2dB peak SPL from a speaker this compact, the A2s delivers serious output for a compact surround.

Key Features of the Perlisten A2s

• 215mm Carbon Fiber Woofer: Perlisten's in-house 8.5-inch driver delivers tight, controlled bass in a sealed enclosure with zero port noise
• 35mm Teteron Composite Dome Tweeter: Custom waveguide provides wide dispersion for consistent coverage across the listening area
• Sealed (Acoustic Suspension) Design: Predictable bass response regardless of wall proximity, ideal for on-wall mounting
• 109.2dB Peak SPL: Serious output from a compact surround speaker, keeping up with high-output front channels
• Tilt/Swivel Wall Bracket: Mounts on a wall or ceiling with Perlisten's tilt and swivel wall bracket, aimed toward the listening position
• Tonal Match Across the A-Series: Same driver family as the A3m, A3t, and A4t for consistent timbre matching in multi-channel systems

Surround and Height Channel Performance

In immersive audio formats like Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and Auro-3D, surround and height speakers need to do more than fill in the gaps. They need to deliver precise directional cues, clean transients, and enough output to create a convincing sense of envelopment. The A2s is built specifically for this job. Its waveguide-loaded tweeter controls dispersion to direct sound accurately toward listeners, while the sealed cabinet ensures consistent bass behavior whether the speaker is mounted flat against a wall or angled on a ceiling.

Mounting Flexibility

The A2s fits Perlisten's tilt and swivel wall bracket, which lets you aim it toward the listening position from a wall or ceiling. The sealed enclosure means you don't have to worry about port placement or breathing room behind the speaker. Mount it flush against a surface and it performs exactly as designed. At 450mm tall and 221mm deep, it's compact enough to fit into spaces where even small bookshelf speakers would be awkward.

Building a Complete Perlisten System

The A2s is designed to pair with any A-series front speaker configuration. Use it as side, rear, or height channels alongside A4t or A3t towers up front, with an A3m as your center channel. The shared driver technology across the series ensures consistent timbre matching, which is the single most important factor in a convincing surround sound system. Add a Perlisten subwoofer for the low-frequency effects channel and you have a complete, tonally coherent home theater.
