We designed the PS.10 for maximum output in an
incredibly compact enclosure. With bass extension
to 27Hz (-6dB) and output over 105dB at a typical
listening position in a 3,000 cubic-foot room, the
PS.10 meets the demands of digital 5.1 formats.
Yet, the PS.10 is so compact, it easily fits within a
typical AV cabinet.

Tuned for Flexibility

We tuned the PS.10 to match the speed and sonic
presentation of the Snell E.5 Tower and K.5
Monitor. We included a system-specific electronic
crossover that automatically adjusts the output of
your front speakers, so you are assured of a seam-
less blend between the PS.10 and your E.5 or K.5
speaker systems.

Plus, we incorporated a number of user-definable 
settings, giving you the flexibility to fine-tune the
PS.10 to match your existing system.

Easy to Hide

The PS.10 cabinet is small enough to tuck behind
furniture or place in a closet. Because the bass unit
and ports are on the front of the cabinet, you can
place the PS.10 directly inside a typical AV cabinet
system without performance degradation.
