The flagship speaker series from the Canadian brand, originally launched for the North American market is now available globally as an expanded family with the addition of the Synchrony T800 Towers. These are the largest speakers of the series with a wider frequency bandwidth and the largest power handling capacity amongst Synchrony speakers. Equipped with an all-new 5-way transitional array employing three 8" woofers, a 5.25" midrange driver, all featuring cast baskets and woven carbon-fibre cone woofers, and a 1" titanium dome tweeter in a heavily braced MDF cabinet, the T800s are capable of filling large rooms with detailed bass right down to the lowest register.
The driver platform results in a dramatic reduction of non-linear distortion, allowing for higher sound pressure levels without compression or increased THD and IM distortion. This can be immediately recognized by a more open midrange and deep bass impact. Small gradations in sound, or micro-dynamics, are vastly improved over previous driver platforms. According to the company, the crossover in the T800 Premium Tower is the most advanced amplitude-perfect Linkwitz-Riley 4th order crossover that PSB Speakers has ever utilized, featuring high-voltage poly film capacitors and oxygen-free interconnect wire for complete driver control. Like the T600 speakers, the new T800 towers feature outrigger stabilizers with integrated IsoAcoustics GAIA II isolators.
The driver platform of the T600 consists of three 6.5" woofers and a 5.25" midrange driver, all with cast aluminum baskets, woven carbon fibre cones and rubber surrounds, and a 1" titanium dome tweeter with Ferrofluid and Neodymium magnet. As a result, a dramatic reduction of non-linear distortion allows for higher sound pressure levels without compression or increased THD and IM distortion. The advanced driver assembly features four elements (Faraday ring, shorted turn, longer voice coil, symmetrical magnetic drive) that all work in harmony to reduce driver distortion.
Using the same driver platform as the Synchrony towers, the B600 Bookshelf Speakers can be an easy complement to the towers or a standalone stand-out compact listening option. The 2-way bass reflex design features a 6.5" woofer with cast aluminum basket and woven carbon fibre cone, and a 1" titanium dome tweeter with Ferrofluid and Neodymium magnet. The light and rigid nature of woven carbon fibre cone delivers wider bandwidth - about half an octave deeper bass response over other PSB driver designs - with greater efficiency (88dB at 1m), higher power handling, and lower distortion.
For home theater and living room entertainment systems, PSB PWM speakers are designed to support the Synchrony Series as centre channels and effect channels in multichannel applications. Incorporating advanced driver and cabinet design, the PWM series offer open and constant dispersion, tonal balance and bass extension of a truly refined loudspeaker many times their size. The PWM’s can be oriented either vertically or horizontally and be used as a front left, right, centre or surround channel speakers - as part of a complete on wall system, a basic TV application or as an on-wall centre channel solution for floorstanding speakers.
Whether used in a multi-channel set-up or in stereo listening applications, the Synchrony series represents PSB’s signature, "True to Nature" acoustics. Each speaker is measured, tested and fine-tuned under the direction of PSB Founder and Chief Acoustic Designer, Paul Barton. The T800 Premium Towers (US$11,999 / €12,999 a pair MSRP), T600 Towers (US$8,999/ €9,999 a pair MSRP) and B600 Bookshelf Speakers (US$2,799 / €2,999 a pair MSRP) are available worldwide and come in Satin Walnut Veneer and High Gloss Black finishes.
