Summary of Contents for PSB Synchrony One

  • Page 1 Owner’s Manual Synchrony Series Guide d’utilisation Manual de Propietario...
  • Page 3 A little technical background might give you an appreciation of the technology that went into the design of your Synchrony product. Our intention in designing the PSB Synchrony range of products was to bring to bear all that we have learned in 35 years of crafting fine loudspeakers to create a line of high performance systems of truly elegant design.
  • Page 4 It sets the octave-to-octave balance that defines the personality of the system. At PSB, years of design experience, highly tuned sets of ears, and the unsurpassed facilities of the National Research Council in Ottawa, lead to superior crossover design.
  • Page 5: Warranty Registration

    The packing materials of your PSB Synchrony speakers are designed to protect them from damage during shipping. Retain the packaging in case the need arises to transport the speakers in the future.
  • Page 6 (higher for thicker carpet) and hand tighten the locknuts against the bottom of the cabinet. The Synchrony One C and Two C center channel speakers come supplied with a multi-position foot that allows them to be placed at a variety of angles.
  • Page 7 Select and install wall-mounting brackets and hardware sufficient to hold the weight of the speakers on the walls safely. 1. Use the “3 finger” style flush mount bracket (provided in Owner's Manual Kit). 2. The speaker should be mounted at a minimum height of five feet measured from the bottom of the speaker to the ground.
  • Page 8: Speaker Placement - Maximizing Your Enjoyment

    Proper loudspeaker placement is an essential ingredient to getting the best sound from your high performance stereo, multi-channel audio or home theater system. The goal is to reproduce faithfully the audio soundtrack the movie director or music producer created without calling any attention to the speakers themselves.
  • Page 9 enclosures are positioned vertically rather than horizontally. If you are placing your monitors horizontally, the speakers will still perform very well, but the seating area where you will enjoy optimum sound will become narrower. We suggest you position the tweeters to the outside away from the center line. You may prefer to tilt the speakers towards ear level.
  • Page 10 inches from all walls, but the choice is yours to determine by listening. Where you sit in relation to your speakers obviously makes a difference too. The proportions of the particular triangle formed by your speakers and you matter. (You may need to send more power to the more distant speaker to compensate if you get much further from one speaker than the other.) The overall distances involved also matter.
  • Page 11 DIPOLE SURROUNDS MUST BE PLACED ON THE SIDE WALLS DIRECTLY BESIDE THE LISTENING POSITION. The effect is lost as soon as you move outside the “null”. All PSB Synchrony Series speakers are timbre matched (have similar tonal characteristics) for easy mix and match home theater system flexibility and ultimate performance.
  • Page 12 The illustrations below show several 6.1/7.1 speaker placement options utilizing two, three or four Synchrony S surrounds. Your PSB audio/video specialist will be able to recommend the best placement options for your particular needs and budget.
  • Page 13 Important: Always turn off your electronic equipment before connecting speakers. We recommend the following gauge of Under 25 ft (7.5 m): 16-gauge – (1.3 mm ) standard two-conductor 25-50 ft (15 m): 14-gauge – (2.1 mm ) speaker wire for the Over 50 ft (30 m): 12-gauge –...

  • Page 20 One can also experiment with the Port Cover on the bookshelf models (Synchrony One B and Two B) to tame the bass in some setups.
  • Page 21: Recommended Power

    We recommend amplifiers and receivers rated from a range of 50-300 watts. For playing at consistently room-filling volume, a minimum of 100 watts is usually a good idea. Be wary of driving low-powered amplifiers to their limits as under-powering can cause permanent speaker damage. Protecting Your Investment A.
