PSB loudspeakers · Kansas City.

IntegrateIT carries and installs PSB across the Kansas City metro — tower, bookshelf and powered speakers for the room people sit in, the Custom Sound range for the walls and ceilings around it, and subwoofers to go with both. One precision first, because the trade is sloppy about this word: PSB is a line we carry and install under distribution, not one we hold our own dealer agreement on, so we do not call ourselves an authorized PSB dealer. What we are is the people who pick the series against the room, cut the openings where the drawing says and tune the result after the furniture is in. Phone: (913) 804-7575 or office@integrateit.tech.

The useful thing to know before any model name: PSB’s site lists its speakers by series, and the architectural series is a family of its own. Custom Sound lists in-wall and angled in-ceiling speakers, in-ceiling speakers in six and eight-inch sizes and in-wall subwoofers. A room can be built from boxed speakers, built-in ones or a mix, and the plan says which.

What we carry and install from PSB

PSB’s menu lists its speakers under Series — Synchrony, Passif, Imagine, Alpha, iQ, Custom Sound, PWM and SubSeries — and sorts them by type: tower, bookshelf, wireless, home theatre, outdoor, architectural, subwoofer and powered. These are the families we specify here, as PSB names them.

• Synchrony. The Synchrony T800 and T600 towers, the B600 bookshelf and the SST-24 stands for the B600. PSB calls it its flagship series. The towers stand on four outrigger stabilizers with custom isolators, the T600 and T800 include two bass port covers for adjusting bass to the room, and the grilles attach magnetically. This is the range for the listening room, and the front stage of a dedicated theater that wants boxes.
• Imagine. The Imagine T65 and T54 towers and the B50 bookshelf. PSB says the series uses flagship technologies from Synchrony, lists Satin Black and White finishes with aluminum trim rings, and describes the towers as slim. It is the range for a living room or media room that wants towers with a smaller footprint.
• Alpha. The Alpha T20 tower, P5 bookshelf, P3 compact bookshelf and C10 centre, the AM5 powered bookshelf and AM3 compact powered speakers, and the S8 and S10 subwoofers. Powered speakers are the answer for a bedroom, an office or a desk that will not be wired to a rack.
• Custom Sound — in-wall and in-ceiling. The W-LCR in-wall speaker; the C-LCR and CS AIC 860 angled in-ceiling speakers; and the CS850, CS805 and CS810 eight-inch and CS650, CS610, CS605 and CS630 six-inch in-ceiling models, the CS630 a stereo one. This is the family behind a whole-house audio system, and the angled models are the ones to ask about when a ceiling speaker has to be aimed toward the seats.
• Custom Sound subwoofers. The CSIW SUB10 and the dual eight-inch CSIW SUB28 in-wall subwoofers, the CSIR SUB in-room subwoofer, and a subwoofer amplifier from the same range. In a home theater they are the option when a box on the floor is not welcome.
• Outdoors — CS1000 and CS500. PSB lists both as Universal In-Outdoor Speakers. Whether a speaker with that description suits a covered porch or an exposed pool deck is a question about the mounting and the exposure, and the rating PSB publishes for the exact model decides it; see outdoor audio.
• SubSeries. The BP12, BP8 and BP7 subwoofers, with rear-mounted controls for volume, crossover and phase. Placement is measured in the room, not guessed; see home theater calibration.

How we put PSB into a room

• Boxes where people sit, built-ins everywhere else. A tower or bookshelf pair in the room that is listened in, Custom Sound in the ceilings and walls of the rest. The plan lists which room is which before anything is ordered.
• Openings and cable at rough-in. Cut-out size, depth and the cable path are checked against PSB’s published specification for the exact model and settled while the ceiling is open, as part of the pre-wire. Speaker cable is home-run to the rack and labelled at both ends.
• Bass drawn with the room. In-wall subwoofers share the cavity, so position, depth and the amplifier location are drawn early. Measured and tuned afterwards, once the furniture is in.
• One control surface, one record. The speakers sit behind a keypad or an app on a Control4 or Crestron system we design and program, and model numbers, wire labels and settings land in your portal with the project record.

Where PSB sits beside the other lines we carry

PSB is the line to look at when the plan wants boxed speakers and a built-in range from the same maker. Monitor Audio is the comparison when the brief also wants in-wall subwoofer kits and an outdoor pair from one catalogue. KEF is the point-source alternative. For distributed audio across many rooms, Episode is built around exactly that. The recommendation comes off the room and the seating, not the catalogue.
