PSB Passif 50 Stand Loudspeaker

Created to celebrate the 50th anniversary of PSB, the Passif 50 Standmount Loudspeaker

harkens back to the legendary Passif II model that cemented the brand’s reputation for

performance and value. The Passif 50 follows the design of its 1970’s ancestor while

utilizing the latest technologies and leveraging ﬁve decades of acoustics research and design

experience. The Passif 50 is the latest application of PSB’s True to Nature design philosophy.

The Science of Sound

Introduced in 1974, the Passif II was the culmination of years of R&D work at the National

Research Council in Ottawa, Canada by PSB founder and chief designer Paul Barton. To

this day, Barton and his colleagues measure their designs in the NRC’s anechoic chamber

and correlate their measurements with extensive subjective listening tests. This process has

led to an unbroken series of products acclaimed by listeners and reviewers for their tonal

accuracy, spatial realism, and freedom from distortion. Paul Barton personally oversees the

ﬁnal acoustic design of every PSB loudspeaker. The latest product of this process is the Passif

50, a classic standmount design that accurately reproduces music exactly as the creators

intended – without colouration of any kind.

STANDMOUNT LOUDSPEAKER

Evoking an Era

With open-grained walnut veneer enclosures, magnetically attached woven

cloth grilles, and dedicated stands, PSB’s Passif 50 Standmount Loudspeakers

evoke the storied history of one of the world’s great audio brands. Details

alluding to the brand’s heritage include a pull tab on the front grille, which

sports PSB’s original logo, a rear-panel plaque adorned by a maple leaf and an

inscription that reads, “Passif 50 – Anniversary Edition – 1972-2022.”

Cutting Edge Design

Employing a 1” dome tweeter, 6.5” paper cone woofer and 8” passive radiator,

the Passif 50 has a similar driver complement to the original Passif models.

But the Passif 50 enhances and optimizes the classic standmount design,

incorporating the most current PSB componentry and technology trickled down

from PSB’s ﬂagship models.

The titanium dome tweeter employs a powerful neodymium magnet and

ferroﬂuid damping, for higher output, improved power handling, and reduced

distortion. A phase plug in front of the tweeter’s dome directs the tweeter’s

output to ensure a wide and consistent dispersion well beyond the traditional

listening window. The result is a speaker which creates a wide and deep

soundstage with very acute imaging which isn’t reliant on a precise listening

position. A felt pad surrounding the tweeter minimizes edge diffraction for

improved transparency and more stable imaging.

The woofer and passive radiator have cast aluminum baskets that resist

ﬂexing, and ﬁlleted rubber surrounds that dampen cone resonances, resulting

in smoother response and reduced distortion. Considerable engineering effort

was invested in reﬁning the interaction between the woofer and the passive

radiator. The result is a state of perfect balance of their opposing forces.

All joints in the heavily braced enclosure are mitred for improved ﬁt and ﬁnish

and reduced cabinet vibration. Featuring dual ﬁve-way binding posts, the Passif

50 is bi-wirable and bi-ampable. With its innovative technology and gorgeous

retro design, the PSB Passif 50 Standmount Loudspeaker honours the past,

embraces the future, and delivers sound that is True to Nature.
