A Blend of Precision, Power, and Passion: Introducing the McIntosh PS1K Powered Subwoofer.
McIntosh, a global player in high-end audio, proudly announces the launch of its latest innovation, the PS1K Powered Subwoofer, crafted to redefine home audio with unmatched bass precision and power. Engineered for audiophiles and home theatre enthusiasts alike, the maker says the PS1K enhances any system by delivering deeper, more accurate low frequencies that will transform the listening experience.
No-Compromise Design, Unparalleled Performance
At the heart of the PS1K are two 13in drivers featuring McIntosh’s proprietary Low Distortion/High Performance (LD/HP) Magnetic Circuit Design, created to reduce distortion and improve power handling. With advanced Finite Element Analysis (FEA) ensuring extreme linearity, the PS1K’s woofers incorporate multi-layer carbon fibre cones for superior rigidity and sound clarity, resisting flex even at high outputs.
Feel the Sound Like Never Before
The PS1K’s dual 13in woofers are driven by two 500W Class D amplifiers, combining for a powerful 1,000W of output. Whether playing music or movies, McIntosh says the PS1K’s bass is tight and clear, effortlessly filling large spaces. A sealed box design and nearly 1.5in (3.8cm) thick enclosure baffle eliminate port noise and vibration, ensuring a precise, clean bass response.
Built for Versatility and Seamless Integration
The PS1K is designed to complement McIntosh speakers yet remains versatile enough to grace any high-end audio system. It offers flexible inputs and outputs to integrate with any stereo or home theatre setup. With balanced and unbalanced subwoofer connections, adjustable filters, and parametric EQ, it can be fine-tuned to suit individual listening environments and preferences.
Protection and Longevity in Every Detail
McIntosh’s signature Power Guard and Sentry Monitor technologies are built into the PS1K to protect against overloading and short circuits, ensuring reliable, long-term performance. Additionally, the PS1K’s eco-friendly signal sensing and Power Control technology enhance convenience and power management.
A Visual and Sonic Statement
With a sleek high-gloss black finish, carbon trim, and an aluminium base, the PS1K not only performs at the highest level but also looks stunning says the maker. Glide feet for hard floors and spikes for carpets ensure stable placement in any room.
The PS1K is available in late October 2024 to authorised McIntosh retailers with an MSRP £35,995 GBP including VAT / €41,999 EUR including VAT / $35,000 USD / $50,000 CAD.
