Canadian Engineering Built for Canadian Winters - And Your Summer Paradise

PSB Speakers emerged from Paul Barton's relentless pursuit of natural sound reproduction. For over 45 years, Barton has conducted his research at Canada's National Research Council, developing speakers that disappear into the music. His designs grace recording studios worldwide, chosen by professionals who demand absolute truth in reproduction.

When Barton turned his attention to outdoor speakers, he refused to accept the usual compromises. Most outdoor speakers sacrifice fidelity for durability, producing sound that's merely acceptable. Barton asked: why can't an outdoor speaker measure like an audiophile speaker? The CS1000 is his answer - a speaker that undergoes the same rigorous NRC testing as PSB's reference monitors.

As a Canadian company, PSB knows extreme weather. These speakers survive -40° winters and scorching summers, year after year. Because great sound shouldn't be confined to climate-controlled rooms.

Military-Grade Construction Meets Audiophile Performance

• UV-Resistant Fortress: Thick-walled polypropylene cabinet withstands decades of sun exposure without degradation
• Titanium Dome Excellence: 1" titanium tweeter with neodymium magnet delivers crystalline highs that cut through ambient noise
• Ceramic-Filled Woofer: 6.5" injection-molded cone with rubber surround provides bass extension to 40Hz - unheard of in outdoor speakers
• Aluminum Armor: Rust-proof grille and hardware survive salt spray, pool chemicals, and coastal environments
• Dual-Axis Freedom: Revolutionary bracket system allows 90° horizontal and 170° vertical rotation for perfect positioning

When Reviewers Reach for Superlatives

"I was blown away by the CS1000's measured performance. When I showed the results to our staff without telling them the speaker type, they thought they were looking at measurements of a very-high-performing traditional bookshelf design for indoors." - SoundStage! Xperience

"The PSB's tested way better than the Boston Acoustics and killed the Paradigms. PSB used the BA's as the speaker to beat since it's one of the most popular in the industry." - AVS Forum Review

What Makes the CS1000 Revolutionary

These aren't typical outdoor speakers with their harsh, compressed sound and plastic construction. The CS1000 measures like a premium bookshelf speaker - flat response, wide dispersion, minimal distortion - but survives environments that would destroy indoor speakers.

That front-firing port is genius engineering. Unlike rear ports that require careful placement, the CS1000 sounds great mounted anywhere - walls, ceilings, corners, under eaves. The included port plug fine-tunes bass response for your specific installation. The narrow rear profile fits tight spaces where traditional boxes won't.

Most impressive is the sound quality. In blind listening tests at NRC's anechoic chamber, engineers couldn't identify these as outdoor speakers. They deliver the same neutrality, imaging, and dynamics as PSB's acclaimed indoor models. Whether playing jazz at poolside or powering a commercial installation, they maintain PSB's "true-to-nature" signature.

Perfect Applications

Ideal for: Covered patios and pool areas, outdoor kitchens and entertainment spaces, restaurants and hospitality venues, retail stores requiring background music, fitness centers and yoga studios, home theaters needing surround channels, garages and workshops, boats and marine installations, anywhere premium sound meets challenging environments.
