PSB Speakers at BAV High End Show Bangkok 2024
PSB Speakers in Thailand at BAV High End Show Bangkok 2024. PSB Speakers have been manufacturing loudspeakers for music and movie since 1972. The PSB Imagine series such as T65 (black) & T54 are the latest designs for home theater system and music. The T65 is touted as the "pinnacle" of the Imagine Series, bringing together the same 2.5cm tweeter and 13cm woofer as found in the above B50, as well as larger dual 16.5cm woofers. The T65 also teases a broad soundstage and deep low-end courtesy of its dual bass reflex configuration, rear slot ports and "meticulously tuned woofer chambers". The crossover design, says PSB, has been developed so that each driver offers more precise sound control for a deep, expansive sound. PSB T54 sports a 2.5cm tweeter, but this time there's a 10cm mid-range alongside the same dual 16.5cm woofers as found in the T65. The new tower also uses a three-way bass architecture, as seen in the T65, as well as dual rear ports. It's not as big as its flagship older brother, but the T54 promises "a wide frequency range and pin-point imaging for an immersive listening experience" While design and form vary from speaker to speaker, much of the same essential DNA is shared between all three members of the updated Imagine line. All sport woven carbon fibre cones and all feature rubber surrounds and magnet structures. It should be noted that the three-way dual bass design isn't featured in the B50 Bookshelf, but it is common to both the T54 and T65.

A benchmark of acoustic artistry
Exceptionally Crafted
Fill your room with legendary PSB sound to the highest degree. The PSB Speakers Synchrony T800 tower loudspeakers are engineered with utmost precision, employing an 8" woofer, 5 ¼" midrange driver, and a 1" titanium dome tweeter. Driving powerful yet controlled sound is an advanced motor structure to minimize distortion, enabling higher sound pressure levels without compression. Precise driver control is made possible through a sophisticated Linkwitz-Riley 4th-order crossover design, complete with poly film capacitors and oxygen-free wire. Review from WhatHifi. The PSB Synchrony T800 is a 3 was speaker. The importance of the three-way design is that it eliminates a serious problem called phase modulation distortion, or PMD, which affects all loudspeakers that do not have a dedicated midrange driver. This distortion occurs whenever a single speaker cone is called upon to reproduce low and midrange frequencies simultaneously, which is what happens in all two-way (and 2.5-way) speaker designs. Phase modulation distortion is sometimes called ‘Doppler Distortion’ because many people already know about the Doppler effect, which makes the PMD mechanism easier to explain. If a driver is required to produce a single low-frequency sound – at, let’s say, 55Hz – its cone will move forwards and backwards fifty-five times per second and your ear would hear the resulting movement of air as the musical note A1. This pitch is an octave above the lowest ‘A’ on a piano keyboard.
But if that same driver is also asked to produce another musical note – say, middle-C, which has a frequency of 261.63Hz – it would have to move forwards and backwards 261.63 times per second at the same time that it is also moving forwards and backwards 55 times per second. This means the frequency of what should be middle-C will not always be precisely 261.63Hz but actually be shifted up to 55Hz higher or lower (depending on the direction the cone is moving) as a result of having to produce the 55Hz signal simultaneously. Obviously, this introduces considerable distortion into the music! More about PMD here. https://sound-au.com/doppler.htm. Another important thing to note about the T800’s midrange driver is that its construction is exactly the same as that of its three bass drivers, using the same cone material (carbon fibre) and roll surround material (rubber). This means that the sonic ‘signature’ of the midrange driver will be exactly the same as that of the bass drivers. In designs where the construction of the midrange and the bass driver(s) differ, they will produce completely different sonic characters, which is obviously not desirable.
There’s a further aspect of the Synchrony T800’s cone driver construction that is important to note: the roll surrounds that allow the cones to move are all made from rubber. This is exceedingly important for anyone in Australia (or New Zealand) because rubber surrounds are far more durable than the foam ones often used for this purpose. In most designs that use multiple bass drivers, all the drivers receive the very same signal from the crossover network. Also, in almost all cases, those multiple bass drivers ‘share’ the same space inside the speaker cabinet, and the problem there is that output from the rear of each driver cone will affect the movement of the others, often adversely. Because the drivers must necessarily be in different positions on the baffle, too, each one causes resonances inside the cabinet at different frequencies, which is usually also detrimental to sound quality.
There’s also an issue that occurs in every floorstanding loudspeaker called ‘floor bounce’ where, because the bass driver is close to the floor, a reflection from the floor creates a ‘notch’ or ‘suck-out’ in the sound coming directly from the driver itself. The frequency of this interference depends on the distance between the bass driver and the floor, as well as the distance between the speaker cabinet and the listening position, but you wouldn’t go far wrong to say that it mostly occurs at frequencies between 100Hz and 200Hz.
A final issue affecting designs with multiple bass drivers is that if they’re delivering exactly the same range of frequencies, you will get the same ‘interference’ effects when the signals from the drivers interfere with each other in the air in front of the speakers. In this specific case, the interference can introduce ‘dips’ and ‘bumps’ in the response – dips when the signals cancel; bumps when they reinforce each other.
In the Synchrony T800’s design, PSB has addressed all of these issues! Firstly, each cabinet is partitioned internally so that each of the drivers is in its own unique acoustic space, meaning the output from the rear of one driver cone cannot interfere with any of the other drivers, either directly or because of resonances. Secondly, the different heights of the drivers mean that the effect of floor bounce is spread over a wider range and so has less effect on the sound. Thirdly, interference between the bass drivers is minimised because they do not all operate over the same low-frequency range courtesy of that ‘transitional’ bass reflex design.
In this transitional design, each bass driver is high-pass filtered at a different frequency, so although all three operate at the lowest frequencies, the bottom driver is rolled off earlier than the one above it, and that one is rolled off earlier than the top one, so that, ultimately, each driver progressively operates over a smaller bandwidth. We are not, therefore, surprised that PSB says of the T800’s crossover network: “This is the most advanced amplitude-perfect Linkwitz-Riley 4th order crossover that PSB Speakers has ever utilised, featuring high-voltage poly film capacitors and oxygen-free interconnect wire for complete
driver control.” Rather unusually, you can access each of the filter sections directly using the six speaker terminals provided on the rear of each tower, which means you can bi-amp or tri-amp the speakers if you want. PSB says the audible effects of doing this “may be subtle, but the benefits include; transients are less likely to cause clipping and/or speaker damage, reduced distortion and the elimination of errors at low frequencies, while also providing better matching between the power amplifier and speaker.”
The terminals come pre-fitted with a curious buss bar system. If you use the buss bars to link the terminals, you can’t use bare wires or small spades at the same time; you have to instead remove the plastic inserts from the clear plastic ‘WBT-look’ speaker terminals and then use banana plugs to make the speaker wire connections. (The terminals will, however, accept bare wire or small spades if the buss bar is removed.)
The separate internal acoustic space for each driver is ported, so each sits in its own bass-reflex environment, though you can block the output from any one (or all) of the ports with port plugs. PSB says of these ports’ usefulness: “Two port covers are supplied with each tower. The port cover can be used to adjust the bass tuning of the Synchrony where room problems at low frequencies (in the 100Hz region) occur. It is well known that the room can dominate the performance of the low frequencies below 200Hz and the added flexibility of a port cover can tweak/improve the performance in problem room setups. We invite the listener to try plugging any one or multiple ports to better integrate the system in their room because any adjustment of the bass balance could be a welcome improvement in a given system setup. Please experiment; it will be worth the effort. It is impossible to predict what type of room or what the system setup will be; therefore we think the flexibility of multiple ports allows the speaker to be integrated better in a wider variety of situations.” So there you go: experiment!
As for the port covers themselves, whereas most manufacturers supply cheap soft foam covers that cost only a few cents each, will deteriorate like foam surrounds and also ‘leak’ sound (because they’re porous), the port covers provided by PSB are made from massively thick rubber with flexible ribbing and fit tightly into the ports – nothing is going to get past these bungs! That leaves only the mystery of why only two port covers are supplied for each tower when each has three bass reflex ports!
As you can see from the images accompanying this review, the Synchrony T800 are supported by an outrigger base-plate design fitted with IsoAcoustic GAIA II feet. These feet are based on the same three-part technology as IsoAcoustic’s award-winning GAIA II isolators. The outrigger design is intended to increase the T800’s stability, but even with the feet the speakers are still a bit ‘tippy’, so be sure to position them somewhere they can’t accidentally be bumped. The 10mm-thick steel plate on one of our speakers was a bit loose, too, so it might be worth using a hex key to ensure the screws haven’t loosened during shipping. (Note that the base plate comes pre-installed; you just have to install the GAIA II feet yourself.)
Thorough Isolation
The Synchrony T800 achieves optimal openness and sound clarity using a combination of custom-designed, integrated isolation feet provided by IsoAcoustics, which effectively prevents the reflection of mechanical energy generated by the drivers and cabinet back into the enclosure. The enclosure itself is constructed with a robust and acoustically inert MDF cabinet, featuring aluminum-clad front baffles to ensure maximum rigidity and density. Each woofer resides in individually-tuned chambers with rear-firing ports, effectively mitigating in-speaker standing waves.
