PSB has announced that its first Dolby Atmos-enabled speaker, the Imagine XA, and the new SubSeries 450 subwoofer—both previewed at CES 2016—will ship next month at $499/pair and $1,499.

Purpose-built to fit on top of PSB’s Imagine X floor-standing and bookshelf speakers, the Imagine XA is designed to convert standard surround-sound setups into height-capable Dolby Atmos 5.1.2 to 7.1.4 configurations. The two-way speaker features a custom-designed titanium tweeter and injection-molded polypropylene woofer mounted in baffle angled to meet Dolby specs for conveying overhead sound from Atmos soundtracks.

The Imagine XA is finished in simulated black ash and includes a wall mount bracket and anti-slip strips.

Hailed as PSB’s most advanced subwoofer to date, the SubSeries 450 is a 16-inch cube with a high-performance 12-inch woofer bolstered by two 10-inch passive radiators and powered by a 400-watt Class D amplifier with DSP control designed by sister brand NAD. Finish is gloss black.
