PSB Speakers Announces Synchrony T600 & B600 Loudspeakers
The collaboration between PSB Speakers and IsoAcoustics appears to be strengthening with the announcement of the brand's Synchrony T600 floor standing and B600 standmount loudspeakers.
The two new models are based on research and development work carried out by the Canadian National Research Centre (NRC). According to PSB, NRC's support helped create the “most natural sounding” speakers ever. PSB has previously worked with the NRC in its product development.
The Synchrony T600 is a three-way floor standing speaker with cabinets divided into four chambers and an IsoAcoustics GAIA II decoupling base. The speaker uses three 6.5-inch woofers, one 5.25-inch midrange driver and a one-inch tweeter with ferrofluid cooling and neodymium magnets. The midrange and woofers feature carbon fibre cones and die-cast aluminium baskets.
The emitter array is controlled by a fourth-order Linkwitz-Riley filter with high voltage capacitors and oxygen-free wiring. T600 cabinets are made of MDF and padded with aluminium for maximum durability. The enclosure also features rear-firing ports for each of the woofers.
The smaller B600 is a two-way bass-reflex bookshelf with one 6.5-inch woofer and a one-inch titanium tweeter. According to the company, the speaker design and drivers are designed for high sound pressure levels without compression or distortion. Like the bigger sibling model, the B600 has an aluminium insert in the front and a custom base from IsoAcoustics.
We first heard about the collaboration between IsoAcoustics and PSB Speakers in early 2020 when PSB Founder Paul Barton had been so impressed by IsoAcoustics' achievements. He said at the time he aimed to bring the two brands together to offer “a number of upcoming PSB Speakers that will feature integrated IsoAcoustics isolation technology.”
Both models will be available in natural wood finishes and high-gloss lacquer. Expected to go on sale from June 2021, Australian pricing has not yet been confirmed.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
