PSB VisionSound VS300 User manual

The VisionSound Series
PSB’s VisionSound Series presents a unique blend of high
performance, dramatic styling and flexible placement options. These
models are the ideal compliment for today’s most sophisticated
video displays.
In spite of their sophisticated style they achieve a sonic performance
without compromise. The VS
300
employs a sophisticated crossover
network with a ‘first of its type’ equalization of the sonic effects
of the rear wall bounce inherent in this type of mounting. All units
are enclosed in rigid aluminum extrusions which are highly durable
and acoustically inert. They use high excursion
4.5
” diameter, wide
suspension woofers and a vented system design to get maximum
bass from minimum dimensions. A carefully contoured “waveguide”
blends seamlessly into the obstruction-free face of the system’s
cabinet optimizing the performance of the
1
” aluminum dome
tweeters.
The VisionSound Series is comprised of two different models, one
which can be applied in three different ways, providing you with a
remarkable number of options.
An optional desktop base turns the VS
300
into a
compact mini tower. The VS
300
comes standard with
a wall mounting bracket and center channel feet.
Depending on the viewing angle the VS
300
can
slide, tilt and swivel to achieve the best possible
sonic performance.
For home theater and serious music listening alike,
demand high impact, accurate ultra-deep bass from
powered subwoofers like the SubSeries
5

SubSeries

The VS
400
is an elegant floor standing speaker that visually
compliments todays most sophisticated video displays and
furniture. With four
4.5
” woofers that provide extremely
powerful bass extension and a
1
” Neodymium dome tweeter, the
VS
400
is a true sonic performer in the PSB tradition.
The VS
300
is designed for on-wall mounting next to flat panel displays.
It contains two
4.5
” woofers and a
1
” Neodymium dome tweeter. Its
vented enclosure is approximately
24
” long.
A unique crossover circuit flattens the frequency response when
mounted on the wall. This is necessary because wall mounting a
speaker causes a rear wall bounce, and a subsequent sonic delay of
the reflected sound creates a broad acoustic depression centered on
400
Hz. This bounce is predictable using computer modeling, making
it possible to develop an exclusive crossover network with corrective
circuitry that precisely fills in the depression and accurately equalizes
the system back to flat. When the speaker is table mounted, a switch on
the rear panel defeats this circuit.
The wall mounting brackets included with the VS
300
are designed for
maximum versatility with a
5
to
6
“ depth to match most wall mounted
LCD and Plasma TVs. The VS
300
’s wall mounting bracket rotates through
a broad range of angles so that it can be aimed inward for best stereo
effect. Utilising the same bracket, with the addition of two feet, the
VS
300
becomes a center channel for placement above or below a TV. An
optional desktop base turns the system into a compact mini tower.
