Crate Audio's PSM/i Series Redesigned

Crate Audio unveil its new PSM/i Series enclosures, which boast a brand new design for 2003.These moisture-resistant enclosures are manufactured from a high-impact injection molded polymer to provide years of use and transport, and are available in an ivory finish for institutional applications.

PSM/i Series speakers feature a large titanium driver coupled with an integrated long-throw horn. A massive, Crate cast-frame audio driver with a dual-vented magnet structure provides intense power handling and tight bass response. Each of the full-range PSM/i speakers also include threaded fly points on the top, bottom and in some cases sides, any one of which will support over 10 times the weight of the enclosure according to the company.

Every full-range PSM/i enclosure features a semi-active component protection circuit that is isolated from the sound chamber. In the protection circuit, the full-range PSM/i enclosures utilize a twin Darlington style semi-conductor design. The unique circuit design provides outstanding component protection at extremely high audio levels and very smooth response. PSM/i Series key features include:

• 800 -- 1200 watts peak power handling
