Stereo Sound Starts Here
The PSB iQ1 makes it easy to enjoy high-quality stereo sound without building a traditional component system. Amplification, a high-resolution DAC, and BluOS streaming are built directly into the speakers, giving you a complete listening setup in one compact design. From music and TV to vinyl playback, the iQ1 delivers the balanced, natural sound PSB is known for in a system that’s simple to set up and easy to live with.
Built for Everyday Listening
The iQ1 combines streaming, amplification, and digital processing into a single connected system that works right out of the box. Each pair delivers 270 watts of system power from a high-performance Class-D platform, with dedicated amplification for each driver. Whether it’s part of a desktop setup, living room, or smaller listening space, the iQ1 brings clear, room-filling sound into more places around the home.
Streaming Made Simple
The BluOS Controller App gives you easy access to more than 20 streaming services, your personal music library, and multi-room playback through one app. Support for 24-bit/192kHz audio, Apple AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, and Tidal Connect gives you multiple ways to listen without changing how you already enjoy music.
A built-in MM phono preamp makes it easy to connect a turntable, while the BluOS Controller App can bypass the phono stage for use with line-level sources such as CD players or turntables with built-in preamps.
HDMI eARC handles TV audio, while optical, USB-C, and USB-A inputs add flexibility for additional sources. Bluetooth with aptX™ Adaptive rounds out wireless playback from smart devices.
A Direct Stereo Connection
The iQ1’s left and right speakers connect using a single included cable, keeping setup straightforward and both channels perfectly synchronized. It’s a simple, dependable connection that helps maintain consistent stereo performance while keeping the system approachable and easy to use.
Compact Speakers, Full Sound
Each speaker features a 4” (100 mm) polypropylene mid-bass driver and a 0.75” (19 mm) aluminum dome tweeter, powered by dedicated Class-D amplification. A DSP-based active crossover, tuned ports, and low-frequency extension work together to produce detailed mids, controlled bass, and clear highs. The result is balanced sound that feels natural across music, movies, and everyday listening.
Made to Blend In
The iQ1 is designed to fit comfortably into everyday spaces. Its compact footprint works well on desks, shelves, and media consoles, while the clean cabinet design keeps the overall look understated and modern. Available in Black and White, the iQ1 blends easily into a wide range of rooms and setups.
