The PSB SubSeries just got a new heavyweight—or, at least, a “compact but mighty” contender. PSB’s BP7 Powered Subwoofer brings deep, precise bass in a sleek, space-saving design, priced at $1,199 USD / $1,399 CAD (tariff-adjusted, thanks global trade). The BP7 pairs a bipolar driver array, sealed cabinet, and 350-watt Class D amplifier for clean, controlled, distortion-free bass. Finally, a sub that sounds serious without looking like it’s training for a strongman contest.
Launched last year, the PSB BP8 set a high bar with dual 8” drivers and a 500-watt HybridDigital amplifier at $1,499 USD, but the BP7 now offers a more affordable entry point into the SubSeries without sacrificing the precision and clarity PSB is known for—making serious bass performance accessible to more living rooms.
PSB SubSeries BP7: Compact Powered Subwoofer Delivers Precision Bass
The BP7’s bipolar driver array packs two opposing 6.5-inch woven carbon-fibre woofers that work in perfect sync to keep cabinet vibration and distortion in check. Every watt from the 350-watt Universal Class D (UCD) amplifier translates into clean, controlled energy, with depth and precision that makes subtle acoustic passages sing and cinematic explosions hit like a fastball right down the middle—without striking out in your living room.
Its sealed cabinet design ditches the port noise and resonance that plague vented subs, delivering smooth, consistent performance no matter where you place it. At a modest 10.6 x 11.4 x 10.6 inches, the BP7 is built for spaces where discretion matters as much as impact. Satin Black or Satin White finishes with polished aluminum trim rings mean it slides into your décor as easily as the Blue Jays sliding past the Yankees in the ALDS—clean, effortless, and deeply satisfying to watch.
Backed by more than 50 years of Canadian acoustic expertise, the BP7 embodies PSB’s commitment to precision engineering and natural sound. Custom drivers with filleted rubber surrounds, 1.5-inch voice coils, and oversized magnets produce articulate, musical low end with the control and finesse that made PSB a household name north of the border.
PSB SubSeries BP7 Specifications:
The PSB SubSeries BP7 packs serious engineering into a compact footprint. Its sealed cabinet eliminates port noise and resonances, delivering smooth, accurate bass from 28 Hz to 150 Hz (±3 dB), with a low-frequency cutoff of 25 Hz (–10 dB). The BP7 offers flexible integration with stereo line-level inputs, a 12-volt trigger, phase switch (0–180°), and a variable crossover adjustable between 50 Hz and 150 Hz.
The woofer itself features a high-density rubber surround, 1.5-inch voice coil, and a hefty 36-ounce magnet mounted in a steel basket, all tuned with Analog Devices DSP and Texas Instruments Class D amplification for consistent, articulate bass. An LED indicator shows standby (red) or active (green) status, and an internal fuse provides protection, while an auto-standby mode keeps power consumption ultra-low without compromising performance.

The Bottom Line
The PSB SubSeries BP7 delivers compact, precise, and musical bass that punches well above its size, combining a sealed cabinet, bipolar drivers, and a 350-watt Class D amplifier to satisfy both music and home theater enthusiasts. At $1,199 USD / $1,399 CAD (tariff-adjusted), it offers a serious entry into high-performance subwoofers without taking up a full corner of your living room. That said, at this price point, the BP7 faces some stiff competition from the likes of SVS, RSL, ELAC, and others, each offering their own take on high-output, room-filling bass. Still, for those who value clarity, engineering precision, and a design that blends seamlessly into the home, the BP7 merits a look for those requiring those extra octaves in their system.
