Largest and Most Accurate Performance of Any PSB Speaker
The flagship Synchrony T800 Premium Towers represent the most advanced application of True to Nature sound principles in PSB's 50-year history. With the largest and most accurate performance envelope of any PSB loudspeaker, the T800 delivers a caliber of micro-detail and realism that has never been heard before.
Since 2007, PSB's flagship Synchrony Series has been critically acclaimed for consistency, outstanding performance, and excellent value. Incremental improvements on the Synchrony T800 Towers reflect the relentless engineering efforts of PSB's acoustic design team to push the limits of the company's True to Nature sound year after year.
Like all PSB speakers, the T800s were fine-tuned at the world-famous National Research Council (NRC) by a team of highly regarded acoustic specialists guided by renowned PSB Founder and Chief Acoustic Designer, Paul Barton. The design of the Synchrony T800s echoes the iconic T600 model while achieving deeper and louder sound with greater efficiency (92dB at 1m) and lower distortion at any level.
Dramatically Improved Driver Platform
The T800's 8" woofers and 5.25" midrange driver feature die-cast aluminum baskets, woven carbon-fiber cones, mass-loaded rubber surrounds, and an advanced motor structure that maintains constant magnetic force in the voice coil gap. The 1" titanium dome tweeter features Ferrofluid damping and a neodymium magnet.
The improved driver platform results in a dramatic reduction of non-linear distortion, allowing for higher sound pressure levels without compression or increased THD and IM distortion. This can be immediately recognized by a more open midrange and deep bass impact. Small gradations in sound, or micro-dynamics, are vastly improved compared to all previous drivers. The advanced driver assembly features (Faraday rings, shorted turn, longer voice coil, and symmetrical magnetic drive) all work in harmony to reduce driver distortion.
Complementing the improved driver is the most advanced amplitude-perfect Linkwitz-Riley 4th order crossover that any PSB speaker has ever utilized. It boasts high-voltage poly film capacitors and oxygen-free interconnect wire for complete driver control.
Outstanding Speaker Isolation and Cabinet Tuning
A robust, acoustically inert MDF cabinet with aluminum-clad front baffles for maximum rigidity and density make up the enclosure for the Synchrony T800. Individually tuned chambers and rear-firing ports for each woofer break up in-speaker standing waves.
On the base of each T800 tower, custom-designed IsoAcoustics integrated isolation feet prevent mechanical energy produced by the drivers and cabinet from being reflected back into the enclosure. Along with the outrigger stabilizers, the isolators provide a high degree of speaker isolation and control, while resisting lateral movement and oscillations to maintain accuracy and alignment with the listening position. Internal reflections with the supporting surface are attenuated, resulting in greater sound clarity and openness.
Extended Bass Response
The T800 features a full frequency bandwidth of 21 Hz-23kHz (±3db) with a well-defined, extended low-frequency performance comparable to a premium quality subwoofer. With its wide dynamic range, the T800 can play at the volume levels experienced in a live performance – even in large rooms. The T800 plays the deepest and loudest of any PSB speaker with great efficiency (92dB at 1 m) and the lowest distortion at any level.
Using the two provided bass port covers, listeners can fine tune the bass to control common room resonance problems at low frequencies. This allows you to control the bass output to your liking, allowing for customized balance of lows with the highs for any listening experience.
Premium Elegance
The T800s are available in two gorgeous finishes for a luxurious appeal: Satin Walnut and Gloss Black. Magnet-mounted, acoustically transparent fabric grilles provide an elegant touch that will complement your room décor.
