In-cabinet

With CustomSound,
PSB’s goal was to honor
our very highest standards of sonic quality with speaker engineered to
serve highperformance custom applications. These CustomSound models equal
the performance of our flagship PSB Platinum Series, via two distinct
families “in-wall,” and “in-cabinet” that serve
flush-mounted “architecturalspeaker” and custom-cabinetry
installations. The PSB CustomSound designs settle the long-standing conflict
between sound and design. Finally, media-system designers enjoy the freedom
to employ the types of speakers at every channel their designs demand,
with full confidence of unsurpassed, PSB Platinumgrade performance.
CHS80
- High Performance In-Cabinet Loudspeaker Solution.
Using the components of the highly regarded Platinum
Series T8 towers, the CHS80 is a high power/high output
system specifically designed for use while mounted in a
cabinet in a home theater system. Many high end home
theater systems have most of their components, including
the speaker, hidden away in cabinets. While this hides the
clutter it can be detrimental to performance unless the effects
of the equipment cabinet are taken into account. To address
these issues, the CHS80 includes a two position boundary
compensation switches to give best low frequency response
whether the system is in an equipment cabinet or in free
space. A second switch gives an exact compensation for the high frequency
roll off that comes from mounting the system behind a perforated screen.
The system is constructed as a highly durable utility cabinet
with a tough textured “spatter coat” paint finish. Its
dimensions are carefully chosen to fit in virtually all equipment
cabinets.
The driver complement includes dual 8” (200mm) high power shielded
woofers with an incredibly stiff fiberglass cone. Dual 4 1/2”
(115mm) midranges use a lighter version of the same fiberglass for
a very pure midrange response. The midranges are positioned in a D’Appolito
array around a high power, low resonance 1” (25mm) Titanium
dome tweeter.
The crossover is quite complex with multiple second and third order
sections and an elaborate combination of air core and laminated core
chokes. Film capacitors are used in all critical locations.

CHS60
- High Performance In-Cabinet Loudspeaker Solution.
Using the components of the highly regarded Platinum
Series T6 towers, the CHS60 is a high power/high output
system specifically designed for use while mounted in a

The driver complement includes dual 6 1/2” (165mm) high power
shielded woofers with an incredibly stiff fiberglass cone. Dual 4
1/2” (115mm) midranges use a lighter version of the same fiberglass
for a very pure midrange response. The midranges are positioned in

CHS212
- Dual 12” Subwoofer Specifically Designed for In-Cabinet Use.
Many high end home theater systems have most of their
components, including the speaker, hidden away in
cabinets. While this hides the clutter it can be detrimental to performance
unless the effects of the equipment cabinet are taken into account.
The CHS212 is a custom installation subwoofer counterpart to our highly
regarded SubSonic10. The same high power/high travel 12” woofers
are used with the same 500 watt amplifier. The cabinet has been optimized
for in-cabinet use. The cabinet is much simpler than that of the SubSonic10
with no extra cosmetic details that would be wasted when built into
another cabinet. A tough texture paint cabinet is used with dimensions
chosen to fit within most equipment cabinets. One 12” unit is
front firing while the second unit is mounted on the bottom of the
cabinet and
is down firing. This assures that both the drivers and the two port
tubes are all tightly clustered and that all bass energy will have
no problem exiting the equipment
cabinet. The high power digital power amplifier is highly efficient.
Special limiting circuits, exclusive to PSB allow very high peak power
to pass while providing some limiting to sustained tones. The end
result is stupendous output, especially on transients, with safe operation
and freedom from audible distortion.
