The CW160R/ CW160S (round and square versions) provide high
performance 61/2” in-wall CustomSound solutions based on the
acclaimed CW180R/S 8”coaxial speaker systems.
Coaxial speakers are very popular due to their small footprint making
them ideal for space restricted in-ceiling and in-wall installations.
Clever engineering and world-class industrial design combine in the
PSB CW160 speaker systems.
Special attention has been paid to the issue of aiming sonic energy
toward the listener without forfeiting sonic integrity. The CW160s,
like the CW180s, use a unique high frequency, constant directivity
SonicGuide™ that is gimbaled to angle in any direction. The
SonicGuide™ is a proprietary extensively adjustable and aimable,
multipart flare attached to a 3/4” metal dome tweeter. Its contours and
dimensions are designed such that it provides very even response with
little variation both on and off axis. It also increases the directivity of
the tweeter so that the listener hears transparent, naturally focused
sound. Equally important, the SonicGuide(tm) reduces “backwards”
tweeter energy that otherwise reflects from the woofer cone, thus
eliminating a serious response error that plagues virtually every other
“coax” speaker. The SonicGuide™ can be tilted 30 degrees left or
right and the SonicGuide™ assembly is mounted on a click-indexing
turning yoke that turns a full 180 degrees.
“Dog leg” style mounting clips insure quick and easy mounting. Two
response tailoring switches provide a 3dB adjustment to midrange
and tweeter levels. Whether mounted in the wall or in the ceiling
the system’s response can be directed toward the listener for best
possible sound. The result is very natural sound quality and great
installation versatility.
