PSB THECUSTOMSOUND SERIES Owner's Manual page 2

Thank you for purchasing PSB Speakers CustomSound In-Wall/In-Ceiling Speaker(s), a high performance

architectural speaker for superior stereo and home theatre sound in residential and commercial

applications. Its slim and discrete profile will disappear in the room thanks to its small dimensions, low profile

perforated grille and 'frameless' design, making the speaker easy to install and conceal in all types of rooms.

Designed inside the anechoic chamber at Canada's National Research Council, this CustomSound In-

Wall/In-Ceiling Speaker is engineered with PSB's unparallel driver technology from their award-winning

series of In-Room loudspeakers. The new PSB CustomSound models employ clay-filled polypropylene

woofer cones, titanium ferro-fluid cooled tweeter domes and carefully designed phase plugs to turn ordinary

rooms and commercial spaces into live performances.

By supplying this owner's guide, we hope you will read through this booklet to help assure that you are

getting the most out of your PSB product, and your music.

UNPACKING...

The packing materials are designed to protect the speaker from damage during transport, however if visible

or concealed damage is to occur in handling, it should be reported at once to your authorized PSB dealer, or

to the shipping company that delivered your loudspeaker. We highly recommend retaining all packaging, as

it may be needed to transport the speakers in the future.

Required Tools

The following tools will be needed for typical installations: tape measure, pencil, level, utility knife,

wallboard saw (and extra blades), screwdriver, drill, drill bits, fish tape or probe wire, and some sort of

trouble light and/or flashlight.

In addition to the supplies and material listed, paint and extra fine sandpaper may be necessary if you

wish to change the colour of the grille from the standard white finish.

Also, speaker wire of the appropriate length and size will be necessary to connect speakers to amplifiers

and/or receivers in the commercial or home system.
