This listing is for 1 pair of PSB Visionsound 400 on-wall speakers in titanium finish.
(see our other listing for black)
The Long and The Tall
The VS400 employs four 4.5" polypropylene-cone, butyl-rubber surround woofers and a 1" aluminum dome tweeter. The specified crossover is at 2.5kHz. The cast aluminum enclosure, available in either a titanium or black finish, is ported to the rear.
One of the woofers is positioned above the tweeter and three are below it. The tweeter is mounted flush with the front baffle and the woofers are set into a shallow recess surrounded by sharp corners—sharp not in any hazardous sense, but sharp in a way that may upset audiophiles who are into details such as the way abrupt cabinet edges can cause (or are believed to cause) image-compromising acoustic diffraction.
A single set of binding posts is provided (no bi-wiring here). There is also a three position Spectral Tilt control. The "+" and "–" positions tilt the entire audible spectrum up or down by a maximum of 2dB. The grille is held in place magnetically.
The smaller VS300 is actually the more complicated design. Its two (rather than four) woofers, single tweeter, terminals, crossover, and grille are the same as the VS400's. But because it can be wall-mounted, the VS300's port is located in front. Its various mounting options call for an assortment of accessories, some included, some not. A long bracket (included) serves to attach the speaker to the wall for on-wall applications. The speaker may be rotated on this bracket and locked down at the desired angle. The bracket may also serve to tilt the speaker up or down when it's used horizontally for a center channel. And for positioning the speaker on a stand, shelf, or TV as a center channel, rather than on-wall, small feet are also included. These fasten onto the mounting bracket. For vertical tabletop mounting an optional tabletop base ($149/pr) is available.
The VS300 does not have a contour switch. Instead, it has something called an On Wall correction switch. PSB designer engineer David Smith discovered during the speaker's development that when the VS300 is mounted on the wall, the sound bouncing off the wall behind it combines with the forward sound to create a dip in the response centered at about 500Hz. The "On Wall" position of this switch is designed to balance out this dip.
