CW800E - Enclosed In-Wall System
In-wall speakers confront special acoustic challenges. Limited interior
space confines their effective enclosure volume, while comparatively
flimsy partition construction is no substitute for a true loudspeaker
cabinet. There's rarely enough in-wall volume for real bass extension,
and the same factor dooms most in-walls to being both unusually
power hungry and dynamically limited.
For the PSB CustomSound premium in-wall system, the CW800E, the
solution is a design that utilizes its own fully engineered loudspeaker
enclosure. Derived from the highly acclaimed Platinum T8 tower, the
CW800E incorporates a tall, narrow, highly braced, fully enclosed,
wooden enclosure just four inches deep that fits fully within standard,
16-inch-studded construction. The CW800E's dual 8-inch (200mm)
high-power woofers employ incredibly stiff fiberglass cones, higher
mass, and added motor strength to optimize them to their enclosure
volume. The same MTM (midrange-tweeter-midrange) array found
in the acclaimed PSB Platinum T8 tower, and a specially optimized
crossover match system balance to the PSB Platinum Series while
extending bass response. The result is superb, "Platinum-class" clarity
and dynamics, with a highly dispersive "sweet spot" so wide and tall
that even large home-theater audiences will enjoy maximum definition
of movie sound and music alike. A "dog-leg" mounting scheme
assures fast, fool-proof and easy mounting. The PSB CustomSound
CW800E design finally settles the longstanding conflict between sound
and design.
