CWS8 - Dual 8” Passive In-Wall Speaker System

CWA-1 Subwoofer Ampliﬁer/Equalizer

For custom installations specifying in-wall subwoofers, PSB engineered the CustomSound CWS8. Evaluating the in-wall environment, PSB developed a subwoofer design that works well with the limited volume each wall presents and the typically less- than-rigid wall construction. It features high excursion, high power handling dual eight-inch woofers with woven ﬁ berglass cones for the output levels that movie lovers demand. “Dog leg” style mounting clips insure quick and easy mounting. The CWS8 subwoofer shares its mounting frame and dimensions with the PSB companion model CW383 8” 3-way in-wall system. As such they create ideal partners for the ultimate in full range in-wall sound reproduction.

The CWS8 employs carefully engineered driver mass and motor-strength to “take the wall out of the equation,” delivering astonishingly powerful but controlled deep bass from a four-inch- deep in-wall, for prodigious extension without stress or distortion, preserving the low-end “slam” critical to high-end home-theater bass.

The CWA-1 power ampliﬁ er was designed for use with the CustomSound Series CWS8 and other passive subwoofers. The CWA-1 is a shelf mountable ampliﬁ er, stable down to 2 ohms, with continuous power output of 300 watts. The CWA-1 features a full complement of subwoofer controls, such as variable low pass ﬁ lter, phase switching, low frequency level, two different EQ/extension settings and a high pass output. The 2-position EQ will allow the CWA-1 to suit the CWS8 and other future custom subwoofers, both large and small. A unique feature of the CWA-1 is the parametric equalizer, which can be customized to correct undesirable resonances of the typical listening room. Full adjustment for bandwidth, center frequency and equalizer boost or cut is provided. Custom installers will appreciate the selectable music and voltage sensor triggering, input and output triggers plus built-in, automatic resetting overdrive current protection circuitry.
