PSB Synchrony B600 – Stand Mount Bookshelf Speaker

*Price is for ONE speaker

A/E's Take

The Synchrony was always an elusive product for me. I first heard of it when I was dreaming of upgrading my system back when I had the Image 6T towers. I was in the hobby for a few years at that time and was starting to earn more money at my current job, but the Synchrony (model "One" at that time) was seemingly out of reach. The good things in life are always worth waiting and working for. Fine audio is no exception. These are the finest speakers PSB has ever produced.

Flagship Performance - B600 / B 600 / B-600

PSB’s Synchrony B600 Premium Bookshelf Speakers provide revelatory, immersive listening experiences with both movies and music. Thanks to its all-new driver platform, ultra-rigid MDF enclosure, amplitude-perfect Linkwitz-Riley acoustic crossover, and integrated IsoAcoustics isolation feet, the B600 delivers thrilling dynamics, impactful bass, transparent midrange, and superb micro-detail.

• Frequency response: 55-20,000Hz (±1.5db), 50-20,000Hz (±3db)
• 1 x 6½″ (165mm) woofer with woven carbon fibre cone, cast aluminum basket, mass-loaded rubber surround, and advanced motor structure
• 1 x 1″ (25mm) titanium dome tweeter with Ferrofluid damping and neodymium magnet
• Low-resonance MDF cabinet with extensive bracing and decoupled aluminum-clad front baffle
• Integrated acoustic isolators from IsoAcoustics

Advanced Driver Designs

The B600’s 6½″ (165mm) woofer features a woven carbon fibre cone that combines low mass and high rigidity, a mass-loaded rubber surround that suppresses unwanted reflections, and an advanced motor structure assures that maintains constant magnetic force throughout the voice coil gap. The 1″ (25mm) titanium dome tweeter features Ferrofluid cooling and a neodymium magnet.

Together, these refinements result in wider bandwidth, higher efficiency, better power handling, and reduced harmonic and intermodulation distortion. Combined with the B600’s amplitude-perfect Linkwitz-Riely 4th-order acoustic crossover, these advanced drivers deliver remarkably flat frequency response, so that every sound you hear is True to Nature.

Silence Please

The Synchrony B600 incorporates several measures to suppress unwanted noise and vibration. The enclosure has extensive internal bracing to minimize resonances that can cause uneven response and blur transients. The front baffle is clad in a 5mm-thick solid aluminum plate to minimize “baffle talk” that can obscure fine detail.

On the bottom of the enclosure are four isolation feet, custom designed for PSB by IsoAcoustics, that prevent vibrations from the drivers and cabinet from being reflected back into the enclosure. This translates to improved micro-detail, clearer transients, a wider soundstage, and more precise imaging.

Furniture Grade

PSB’s Synchrony B600 Premium Bookshelf Speakers are a feast for the eyes as well as the ears. Available in Satin Walnut Veneer and High Gloss Piano Black finishes, they’ll fit gracefully into any listening space. Acoustically transparent magnetically attached grilles enhance the B600’s visual appeal. PSB offers matching stands that provide a non-resonant connection to the speakers’ IsoAcoustics isolation feet.
