PSB CustomSound Speakers
PSB Intros New Line of Premium CustomSound Solutions
High Performance Architectural Speakers Feature Quality Construction, Ease of Installation
CEDIA Expo Denver Colorado September 25, 2013 -- PSB Speakers, long renowned for
affordable excellence in loudspeaker design, introduced four new CustomSound speakers
designed for high performance custom installation. Two new in-wall (W-LCR, W-LCR 2) and two
in-ceiling (C-LCR, C-SUR) models offer the same natural sound that PSB is known for along
combined with high quality construction and remarkable ease of installation.
All four CustomSound models feature premium materials such as Clay/Ceramic-filled,
Polypropylene cone woofers with rubber surround, 1” Titanium dome tweeters with Ferrofluid
cooling, Sealed MDF backboxes, frameless magnetic grilles, and gold-plated spring-loaded
binding posts. Pre-construction brackets are available to order.
W-LCR ($799 MSRP) - an In-Wall, 2-Way design features two 5 ¼" Woofers combined with
PSB's renowned 1" Titanium Dome Tweeter to provide a natural sound that is perfect for stereo
music or as a left, center or right speaker in home theater applications. These can also be used
as surround speakers for 5.1 and 7.1 systems.

W-LCR2
W-LCR
W-LCR 2 ($999 MSRP)- an In-Wall, 3-Way design adds a 4" Midrange driver in addition to the
two 5 ¼" Woofers providing enhanced output capability and lower distortion, especially at high
SPLs. The Midrange and Tweeter are mounted together on a rotatable sub-baffle to provide
perfect dispersion characteristics whether mounted vertically or horizontally. This makes the WLCR 2 perfect for use as a Center speaker in a home theater or for ultra-high performance
stereo presentations in larger rooms.
C-LCR ($799) - In-Ceiling design uses the same driver complement as the W-LCR but due to
the additional depth offered by ceiling mounting provides a useful increase in sensitivity and
bass extension. The C-LCR offers an optimal solution for installations where wall mounting is not
desired or practical (masonry walls for example). The driver angle has been carefully calculated
for optimal dispersion characteristics and special damping material is used to prevent early
reflections from the baffle, which could compromise stereo imaging and voice articulation.

C-LCR
C-SUR
C-SUR ($799) - the diffuse dispersion characteristics of the CustomSound C-SUR In-Ceiling
dual mode speaker is perfect for side and back surround channels in a multi-channel home
theater. Another interesting application is in long narrow spaces like corridors and hallways
where one C-SUR can take the place of two or more In-Ceiling speakers while offering superior
sonic performance with fewer amplifier channels and easier installation.
Unlike other In-Wall and In-Ceiling speakers whose performance is compromised by the very
structures into which they are installed; PSB includes a superbly engineered enclosure that
ensures the acoustic integrity of the design in every installation.
For years, PSB’s speakers have been hailed by critics and music lovers alike for their clear
midrange presence, uncluttered bass, smooth extended highs and natural sound. The new
CustomSound in-wall and in-ceiling speaker not only embody these sonic attributes, they are
cleverly designed to provide flexible configurations that custom installers will readily appreciate.
The new CustomSound models can be utilized on their own or combined with other PSB
speakers to create a truly customized Home Theater package.
Coaxing this high level of performance from a custom speaker with narrow depth is an
engineering feat, however 40 years of experience along with a deep working knowledge of
acoustics gives PSB Speakers a clear advantage. Like all PSB Speakers, final voicing is
performed by Paul Barton at Canada’s famed National Research Council. PSB’s research has
revealed how listener preferences can be integrated into a wide range of speaker designs for
many different applications, yet all featuring consistent sound quality that is natural and lifelike.
