Deep, musical bass from a compact subwoofer

Unlike some other subs that belt out bass simply for the window-rattling effect, PSB’s SubSeries HD10 produces high-impact bass that’s also accurate and musical. PSB designed this subwoofer to complement high-end two-channel audio systems and home theater setups alike. Best of all, it manages to achieve its impressive bass output despite a compact enclosure that takes up only about a square foot of floor space.

Unique driver array pumps out heavy bass

This sub’s excellent performance comes courtesy of its heavy, 10″ woofer and dual 10″ passive radiators. The woofers have an extremely long excursion, so they can displace a large amount of air to produce the deepest bass. The dual opposing radiators also help tune the cabinet, producing frequencies generally only achieved by much larger enclosures. A heavy cast-aluminum basket, oversized magnet structure, and large-diameter voice coil support the HD10 in churning out musically accurate low frequencies.

The brains behind the brawn

The HD10 uses an intelligent Class H amplifier with sophisticated circuitry to keep the drivers, enclosure, and electronics in a well-balanced system. It helps this sub produce controlled, quick sound, untainted by boom or bloat. PSB’s “smart bass” monitoring system also helps it maintain accurate musicality at even the highest volumes and lowest frequencies. This circuitry also keeps the woofer from being dangerously overdriven or producing obvious distortion, without squashing the dynamic subtleties or compromising its thunderous impact during big action flicks.

Flexible connections for easy system integration

Line-level and speaker-level inputs let you connect this sub to just about any audio system, while volume, crossover, and phase controls help you fine-tune the bass to your liking. It also comes with rubber feet to prevent it from vibrating across the floor. The HD 10 makes an excellent addition to PSB’s Image, Imagine, and Synchrony family of speakers in either a stereo or home theater music setup.
