PSB Image Series Peerless 1″ Dome Tweeter Replacement, New

A plug-and-play replacement for the 1″ tweeter in PSB Image Series speakers. We’ve installed many dozens of them, in Image 1B, 2B, 4T, 5T, 8C and 10S speakers among others, and they also fit the Image T55 and C60.

A quick fix for a dead or “dim” tweeter

If a tweeter in one or more of your PSB Image speakers has failed completely or gone “dim”, this is a quick, simple fix: undo the screws, disconnect the two wires, connect the Peerless and screw it in. On some models it sits perfectly flush; on others, such as the Image 5T, it doesn’t sit quite flush all the way around, but it isn’t very noticeable.

The Peerless is also significantly more robust than the PSB tweeter it replaces.

How it sounds

The Peerless is more efficient than the stock PSB tweeter, so with no other changes your speakers will sound slightly brighter and more forward. That’s how we’ve installed them every time, and we like the balance it brings to the Image line’s full bass. Prefer a more laid-back sound? A 1.5–2 ohm resistor in series on the positive lead will tone it down.

Rather not do it yourself?

Bring your speakers to our shop in Kanata and we’ll install it while you wait for $20 more per tweeter, by appointment only. Email sales@radique.com or call 613-416-9995 to book.

From Peerless

“The BC family of tweeters features a damped fabric dome for smooth frequency response performance and ferrofluid in the gap of the NdFeB magnet motor, providing enhanced cooling of the voice coil. BC tweeters come with a compact faceplate with recessed mounting holes, complete with sealing gasket which helps reduce vibration between baffle and driver.”
