PSB CustomSound In-Wall Speaker System
The CW26 is a 2-way rectangular in-wall system. The CW26 has been
carefully optimized for a neutral and well balanced sound quality.
The 6.5 inch woofer with a berglass textured polypropylene cone has
high power handling, smooth response and extended bandwidth. The
1” tweeter has a 2 piece diaphragm and suspension for low resonance
and low distortion. The tweeter has a pivoting mount to allow it to be
aimed towards the listener’s location for most extended response.
“Dog leg” style mounting clips ensure quick and easy mounting.
Two response tailoring rotary switches allow balance adjustments
to the midrange and tweeter levels. The switches can be used to
optimize room acoustics and listener taste.
In-wall loudspeakers must deal with limited space within the connes
behind the wall. Wall cavities are not built to any standard volume
so open back in-wall speakers must work within a wide range of wall
cavity volumes. PSB accomplishes this by giving the woofers higher
mass and stiffness than with conventional “in room” enclosures.
Extensive simulations and testing have shown that our designs
deliver high-performance sound quality with a broad range of wall
cavity volumes. The CW26 can be used with the CWS8 subwoofer/
CWA-1 subamplier combination.
Full 2nd order high-pass and low-pass crossover ltering is used
to enhance system power handling and give enough control in the
design process to achieve a smooth and very well balanced sound. It
is a perfect match to any other PSB product.

• Try to install the systems at a height between
seated and standing ear level.
• Optimal spacing between speakers should
approximately equal the distance from the
listening area to the wall.
• Make a small exploratory hole and check
for obstructions in wall cavity before cutting
mounting hole.
• Use the mounting template provided to cut
the right sized mounting hole.
• Lightly ll wall cavity with berglass 2 feet
above and below system. Use standard 4”
berglass split to half thickness. Use 1” thick
berglass behind system.
• Adjust electric screwdrivers to appropriate
torque. Tighten mounting screws rmly but
do not over tighten!
• Angle the tweeter inward towards the
listening area.
• See manual for more installation hints.
