Passif 50 - Tower

Celebrating 50 Years of Audio Excellence

The PSB Passif 50 Standmount Loudspeaker, an Anniversary Edition, combines retro charm with contemporary audio prowess. Crafted to celebrate 50 years of PSB Speakers, it echoes the legendary Passif I and Passif II models. Immerse yourself in rich, true-to-nature sound with a touch of nostalgia and cutting-edge technology.

Our legacy of exceptional sound

PSB was built upon a foundation of performance and an unrelenting pursuit of excellence. The Passif 50 continues that legacy. Featuring a 1" titanium dome tweeter with ferrofluid damping and neodymium magnet, it crafts a wide, deep soundstage with exceptional imaging. The 6.5" woofer and 8" passive radiator ensure precise bass reproduction. This marriage of advanced technologies with a vintage-looking speaker design results in a harmonious audio experience, delivering True to Nature sound.

Honouring a heritage. Embracing the future.

While the Passif 50 pays homage to its classic predecessors, it introduces modern refinements. Sold in mirror-imaged pairs, this configuration elevates imaging precision with both tweeters strategically positioned inside the soundstage. Its heavily braced enclosure is meticulously designed, with mitered joints for enhanced fit and finish, minimizing cabinet vibrations. Including dual five-way binding posts allows for versatile bi-wiring or bi-amping options, quickly adapting to your preferred audio setup.

Its warm walnut veneer enclosures, along with anniversary edition touches like a front grille pull tab featuring PSB’s original logo and a rear-panel plaque commemorating “Passif 50 – 1972-2022,” reflect its nostalgic charm. Coupled with state-of-the-art technology, this retro design pays homage to the past, welcomes the future, and delivers the quality you expect from PSB.
