Psuche Series


Kathar

Psuche Kathar. Psuche means soul and Kathar means to surround. The Psuche Kathar are the matching surround speakers for the Psuche series. They can also be used as wall mounted for an in room music system. They offer considerable benefits over in-ceiling speakers that are very susceptible to harmonic resonance and poor airflow characteristics. A single pair of Psuche Kathar speakers can fill a room that may require up to 10 in-ceiling speakers so there is also a measurable cost saving as well as significant sound improvement.

The Psuche Kathar are exciting not just because of their frequency response that extends from 55 Hz to over 40 kHz, but also because of their amazing detail. As a surround speaker detail is critical in creating an emotive environment in a movie. Because of the exceptional detail the Psuche Kathar offer, movies are more lifelike and three dimensional.  

The form is very aerodynamic. This eliminates standing waves both inside and outside the speaker. Standing waves are turbulent air pockets that occur around and inside square speakers. When they occur the flow of clean air and with it clean sound is impeded. Because we have gone to such lengths to eliminate the standing waves, detail, efficiency and tight bass is much improved.

The cabinets are made from a special laminate made for us by custom wood just north of Christchurch. They are formed under extreme pressure and at moderate temperature in such away that they can not flex like a typical flat sided speaker. Cabinet resonance is virtually eliminated. This is very important as that resonance can destroy the emotive listening experience. This harmonic resonance is usually at one frequency and just like our brain will turn down annoying sounds when we live next to a busy road or airport it will turn down a harmonic in speakers. The problem is that our brain will turn down a lot more of the audio spectrum than just the harmonic so we loose a lot of the capability of the speakers, especially where quality is critical around the vocal spectrum

Incorporating two of our new high detail 5” woofers and a 22mm silk dome tweeter both music and sound effects are clear, precise and very fast. The Psuche Kathar are designed to sonically blend well with the Psuche Kardia main speakers.

We produce the Psuche Kathar In a range of finishes but can on request finish a pair to your own specifications where ever you are in the world.
