PSB Speakers is packaging their Alpha PS1 ($299) desktop speaker system with its new SubSeries 100 ($249) micro subwoofer and naming it the Alpha 1-100 Powered Media System, priced at $499.
Combining the amplifiers, speakers and subwoofer together, Alpha 1-100 is a complete desktop audio solution in a box, designed for the computer, game console, or smartphone listening. The powered speaker system offers a sonic upgrade for any device with a headphone output. The PS1 speaker uses a 3-1/2″ metalized, polypropylene cone woofer with oversized magnet structure paired with a 3/4″ aluminum tweeter. To get the most out of its high performance drivers, the Alpha PS1 includes a highly efficient 2 x 20W power amplifier. The universal power supply works with any AC voltage making it convenient for world travelers.
Finished in gloss black, the curvaceous, organic form of the PS1 is functional as well as beautiful. Its compact dimensions (H 7 7/8” x W 4 1/2” x D 6 7/8”), allow maximum internal volume for impressive bass response yet small enough to be placed easily on a desktop.
For installations where the listener is located higher than the PS-1s, the PTB-1 ($30 MSRP) optional tilt base provides a 30 degree upward tilt to better direct the sound to the listener’s ears.
The SubSeries 100, an ultra-compact subwoofer, is the perfect companion to the company’s critically acclaimed Alpha PS1 though it can be readily used in any desktop home theater, computer audio or gaming sound application. Featuring PSB’s famed sound quality, the SubSeries 100 offers an attractive, powerful and versatile subwoofer solution.
This totally new subwoofer design by PSB features a 5-1/4″ woofer that is computer optimized to maximize bass extension and dynamic range without distortion. An innovative filter pole shifting technique is used to squeeze the maximum deep bass from the specially engineered drive unit. The efficient and cool running 50W (continuous) Class D amplifier is capable of 100W dynamic peak power with the amp specifically matched to the driver.
Finished in striking high gloss black, SubSeries 100 measures a mere 6 3/8″ wide x 6 3/8″ high x 7 7/8″ deep that allows maximum internal volume for impressive bass response yet small enough to be placed easily on a desktop. A black metal screen is added to protect the woofer and it comes supplied with a subwoofer cable for easy connection.
