Many high-end home theater systems have most of their
components, including the speakers, hidden away in cabinets.
While this hides the hardware it can be detrimental to speaker
performance. Understanding this, PSB pioneered the concept of
purpose-designed systems for in-cabinet installations. The CHS60
joins the line up that now includes the acclaimed CHS80, an in-
cabinet loudspeaker modeled after PSB’s prestigious fl agship
Platinum T8 tower speaker and the CHS212 that is essentially
a SubSonic 10 reconfi gured for in-cabinet application.
The CHS60, is an in-cabinet loudspeaker modeled after PSB’s
prestigious
Platinum T6 tower speaker. Using the components of the highly
regarded T6, the CHS60 is a fi ve driver, three way high power/high
output speaker with a highly designed crossover network optimized
for in-cabinet application. It delivers “Platinum-Class” performance.
The CHS60 includes two crossover compensation switches to adjust
for in-cabinet boundary effects or for center channel applications
behind a perforated screen. The driver complement includes dual
6 1/2” high power shielded woofers with incredibly stiff woven
fi berglass cones. Dual 4 1⁄2” midrange drivers with woven fi berglass
cones are positioned in a MTM (midrange-tweeter-midrange) array
around a high power, low resonance 1” titanium dome tweeter to
provide superb accuracy across a broad listening window.
The enclosure construction meets Platinum-Series standards
of rigidity and freedom from unwanted resonance. The system
is constructed as a highly durable cabinet with a tough textured
“spatter coat” matte black paint fi nish. It is dimensioned to fi t within
custom or ready-made media furniture.

• Try to install the systems at a height equal to
ear level when seated.
• The Midrange/Tweeter/Midrange array
should be vertical.
• Left to Right Speaker span defi nes stereo
stage width. Typically should be wider than
screen.
• Open volume in equipment cabinet
surrounding the CHS80 (CHS60) should be
lightly fi lled with fi berglass or acoustical foam
to reduce cavity resonance.
• Don’t recess the system any farther into
cabinet than necessary.
• Confi rm that media center grille frames do
not block sound to any listener, especially of
midranges or tweeter.
• Boundary switch deals with overly “rich”
midrange when cabinet mounted.
• “Screen Perforation” switch has a strong
effect and should only be used when the
system is mounted behind a perforated
screen.
• See manual for more installation hints.
