JBL PSB-1 2.0 Channel Soundbar with Analog Inputs

The JBL PSB-1 is a compact, wall-mountable soundbar engineered for nearfield audio applications where direct connectivity and straightforward operation matter. Its injection-molded ABS enclosure delivers solid construction in a slim profile, making it equally at home mounted above a desktop monitor or integrated into a small listening environment. This is a no-frills, reliable performer designed for users who value simplicity and clean audio reproduction.

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 desktop and small room applications 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 sources and mixer setups.
