Many high-end home theater systems have most of their
components, including the speakers, hidden away in cabinets.
While this hides the hardware it can be detrimental to speaker
performance. Understanding this, PSB pioneered the concept of
purpose-designed systems for in-cabinet installations. The CHS40
joins the line up that now includes the acclaimed CHS80 and
CHS60, in-cabinet loudspeakers modeled after PSB’s prestigious
fl agship Platinum T8 and T6 tower speakers and the CHS212 that
is essentially a SubSonic 10 reconfi gured for in-cabinet application.
The CHS40 maximizes it’s in-cabinet performance with a midrange
and tweeter mounted on an 8” circular plate. This plate can be
turned 90 degrees so that, whether the main cabinet is horizontal
or vertical, the systems response is always optimal across the
seating area. Furthermore, the tweeter on the rotatable plate is “eye
socket” pivot mounted and can be aimed at the listening area for
the fl attest high frequency response. The CHS40 is a three driver,
three way high power/high output speaker with a highly designed
crossover network optimized for in-cabinet application. The CHS40
includes two crossover compensation switches to adjust for in-
cabinet boundary effects or for center channel applications behind a
perforated screen. The driver complement includes an 8” high power
shielded woofer with an incredibly stiff woven fi berglass cone. The 4”
midrange driver with woven fi berglass cone and the high power, low
resonance 1” aluminum dome tweeter are mounted in a rotatable
array for maximum system fl exibilty and to provide superb accuracy
across a broad listening window.
The enclosure construction meets Platinum-Series standards
of rigidity and freedom from unwanted resonance. The system
is constructed as a highly durable cabinet with a tough textured
“spatter coat” matte black paint fi nish. It is dimensioned to fi t within
custom or ready-made media furniture.

• Try to install the systems at a height equal to
ear level when seated.
• The Tweeter/Midrange array should always
be vertical. Rotate the array accordingly.
• Open volume in equipment cabinet
surrounding the CHS40 should be lightly
fi lled with fi berglass or acoustical foam to
reduce cavity resonance.
• Don’t recess the system any farther into
cabinet than necessary.
• Confi rm that media center grille frames do
not block sound to any listener, especially of
midranges or tweeter.
• Engage boundary switch when cabinet
mounted.
• Engage “Screen Perforation” switch when
mounted behind a perforated screen.
• All PSB in-cabinet speakers require
accompanying powered subwoofers for
maximum performance.
• All PSB CHS models are compatible with
Platinum C4 and C2 Center Channel
Speakers.
• See manual for more installation hints.
