PSB Alpha P3 Bookshelf Speakers - Pair

The Alpha P3 is a small two-way bookshelf speaker that connects to any stereo or home theatre system to fill the room with powerful, crystal-clear sound. Featuring a custom 4.5” woofer and aluminum dome tweeter that uses a waveguide to perfectly match the low and high frequencies for a smooth transition, the Alpha P3 delivers improved directivity and flattens the frequency response for a more natural sound. It also leverages specially textured woofer cones and a unique port tube design that uses bass flex to add back energy and extend the bass frequencies even lower and without any distortion. 

HEAR BEAUTIFUL TEXTURE AND DETAIL

All new Alpha Series models employ a ¾” black anodized aluminum dome tweeter that extends the high-frequency response beyond the Alpha’s original measurements and minimizes distortion for a rich, balanced listening experience. A waveguide on the front of the tweeter works to perfect on and off-axis performance while smoothing the response for improved resolution and detail. The ferrofluid cooled tweeter on the Alpha P3 has also been precision engineered to sit below the woofer to provide precise stereo imaging at any height.

POWERFUL WOOFER WITH DUAL LAYER VOICE COILS

At the heart of every good speaker is a great woofer that produces low distortion and high output levels. With the new Alpha Series, the 4.5” woofer employs dual layer voice coils with a very powerful magnet structure and a cone that is made from a special textured polypropylene compound that prevents breakup. With bass reflex loaded through Paul’s original port tube design from the ’70s, the woofer adds back wave energy to extend the bass response and improve efficiency down to 43Hz.

CUSTOM-BUILT AND PERFECTED

The Alpha Series’ new crossover wasn’t custom designed to simply just direct low and high frequencies to the woofer and tweeter. It was re-engineered to control the directivity and flatten the frequency response while utilizing an unusually complex Linkwitz-Riley acoustic filter that is designed to get a perfect blend between the drivers and keep distortion at its lowest even at high volumes.

UNIQUE MODULAR CABINET DESIGN

The Alpha P3 has a unique combination of wall thickness and bracing to control resonances and provide a perfect platform for the driver components. The Alpha P3 cabinet’s internal damping material was first used in PSB’s most high-end models, and has now been adopted by the Alphas and positioned precisely for optimum effectiveness. A premium woodgrain vinyl finish and chrome front baffle highlights combine with magnetically attached grilles to provide a rich and timeless design.

BEHIND THE ALPHA SERIES

First designed and manufactured in a small Canadian town in 1991, the Alpha Series started with the simple idea of creating affordable speakers that were focused purely on performance. With passion and dedication in pursuit of a natural sounding speaker, and by leveraging decades of research conducted at the Canadian National Research Council by PSB’s founder, Paul Barton, the Alphas quickly rose to be one of the world’s most iconic speakers and are still the reference benchmark for entry-level hi-fi speakers today. The newly designed Alphas look to continue their legacy by staying true to the original concept from the ’70s and combining it with today’s latest cutting-edge technologies. Powerful and smooth, the all-new Alpha Series has been rebuilt with enhanced custom drivers and a new crossover design that works perfectly together to deliver natural, detailed sound with precision and less distortion. In a home theatre or stereo setup, the new Alphas outperform the originals in every measurement and will bring your music and movies to life.

Tangent Ampster BT II Mini Stereo Amplifier

Great sound needs a great amplifier

The second generation of Tangent’s renowned Ampster BT Amplifier is a compact amp with many capabilities for both domestic and professional use. The Tangent Ampster BT II amplifier produces amazing, optimal audio reproduction for the system’s size and cost when paired with high-quality speakers like the Tangent Spectrum X4 or X5s.

Connect wirelessly or wired

Using Bluetooth technology or an AUX cord, you can wirelessly stream music from your smartphone, tablet, or computer to the Ampster BT II amplifier. There are additional digital and analog line inputs, a sub-output, and a USB charging port.

Wake up on Bluetooth and multi-room compatible

You no longer need to be concerned about turning off your amplifier thanks to the second-generation BT II. When you play music via Bluetooth, it goes into standby when the music stops and instantly wakes up when you begin listening. Additionally, you may connect most multiroom or network systems to the Ampster BT II by using its AUX minijack input to wake it up from standby. The Tangent Ampster BT II will switch on as soon as you begin playing over your network, for instance, if you add a Chromecast Audio, AirPort Express, or other Wi-Fi device to the AUX input. Note that the Ampster needs to go to standby automatically while being set on the chosen source to use the wake-up function. If turned off manually the wake on Bluetooth or AUX is not active.

A mini amplifier with a big sound

The new Tangent Mini System accommodates the new Tangent Ampster BT II with ease. You may experience a full, portable HI-FI system with outstanding audio quality and performance by combining the Tangent Tuner lII and CD II. The system is just 21 cm tall when the Ampster BT II, Tuner II, and CD II are stacked since they are all shorter than the width of an A4 sheet of paper and only 7 cm high. The tiny size of each component saves space in the living room, kitchen, or any other location where you listen to music.

Remote control for all

When all three components are stacked together or positioned independently, each remote control may be used to operate each component. The Tangent Ampster BT II’s remote control also controls the Tuner II and CD II. Alternatively, you might decide to put the other two remote controls away and utilize just one! An IR infrared input is another helpful feature of this second-generation Ampster BT. This makes it feasible for you to position the Tangent Ampster BT II wherever its remote control cannot be used. Simply position the included IR eye so that the remote control can see it, then attach the connection to the External IR input on the back panel.
