JBL PSB-1 2.0 Channel Soundbar with Analog

JBL PSB-1 2.0 Channel Soundbar with Analog Inputs

The JBL PSB-1 is a compact, wall-mountable soundbar built for nearfield monitoring and small-venue applications where direct analog connectivity and reliable, straightforward operation matter. Its injection-molded ABS enclosure delivers solid construction in a slim profile, equally at home mounted above a monitor console or integrated into a compact mixing/playback space. This is a no-frills, road-tested performer designed for sound techs and venue operators who value simplicity and clean audio reproduction without extra complexity.

Audio Performance & Driver Configuration

The PSB-1 pairs dual 19mm soft dome tweeters with four 51mm low-frequency drivers (two per channel) to achieve a balanced 56Hz–20kHz frequency response (±3dB), extending down to 42Hz at –10dB. Each channel delivers 20W of Class D amplification, yielding a maximum peak SPL of 90 dB at 1 meter (single channel) or 94 dB at 1 meter (both channels driven)—sufficient output for nearfield monitoring and small-room sound reinforcement without distortion.

Connectivity & Control

The soundbar connects via two RCA inputs (left and right), accepting line-level signals with a nominal input sensitivity of –10 dBV for 85 dB-SPL at 1 meter at maximum volume. A 4-position volume limiting switch provides practical gain staging, while the fixed and variable source volume support allows flexible integration with different audio consoles, mixers, and playback devices on site.
