PSB Introduces New Alpha SubSonic 5i Subwoofer

9-Oct-02

PSB Speakers announced the introduction of the new Alpha SubSonic 5i powered subwoofer.According to PSB founder and Chief Designer, Paul Barton, ""The Alpha idea of providing performance far beyond what you expect at the price has special impact here. We enjoy the praise that critics have been giving our high-end Stratus subwoofer lately, but achieving the Alpha SubSonic 5i's level of performance in its price range is going to redefine affordability in audio/video showrooms. Listeners whose budgets normally would force them to settle for far less are going to be enjoying the kind of bass and sub-bass that really makes a home theatre come alive and lets music reveal its full weight.""The SubSonic 5i delivers twice the power of its predecessor from its newly designed BASH amplifier--150 watts continuous, 225 watts dynamic power, and 450 watts dynamic peak power. The new 10-inch features a 56-ounce, video-shielded magnet assembly, a 1-1/2-inch voice coil, and an oversized rubber surround, leading to rated frequency response down to 30 Hz. There is also a new port design.PSB Design Team Manager Mark Mason adds: ""We now monitor long average power segments as well as short-term peaks,"" Mason says, ""and this means that the listener won't hear 'stutter' or dropout even on tremendously demanding sustained passages. You have to hear our subs in action, on material that gives other subs trouble, to know just how much this means for real-world enjoyment. And the combination of video shielding and our new front-mounted controls make it easier and more convenient for listeners to adjust the sub's placement and settings for optimum performance in very different rooms.""The SubSonic 5i's contemporary, molded baffle design complements the other current Alpha Series models. The SubSonic 5i also blends well with PSB's Image loudspeakers.The Alpha SubSonic 5i is currently shipping at a suggested retail price of $449.For more information, visit www.psbspeakers.com.
