JBL PSB-1 Pro - 2-Channel Commercial-Grade Soundbar

Product Overview

The JBL PSB-1 Pro is a 2.0-channel, commercial-grade active soundbar built for clear TV and program audio in professional spaces. Its all-in-one design delivers full-range sound without a separate subwoofer while minimizing sound transfer to neighboring rooms, making it well suited to meeting spaces, hospitality, and public areas. Front-facing drivers improve speech clarity over built-in TV speakers, and a volume-limiting switch plus IR remote learning give facilities control over level and operation. Analog RCA connectivity keeps installation simple and cost-effective.

Product Description

The PSB-1 Pro is engineered to reduce the cost and complexity of consumer soundbars while adding the security and reliability commercial installs require. Each channel uses one 19 mm (0.75 in) soft-dome tweeter and two 51 mm (2.0 in) low-frequency drivers — six drivers in total — powered by a 20 W-per-channel Class-D amplifier for a 56 Hz–20 kHz (±3 dB) response and up to 94 dB SPL with both channels driven. A 4-position volume-limiting switch caps maximum output to suit each location, while fixed and variable source-volume modes plus IR learning let the soundbar respond to a TV remote for simple, guest-friendly operation. Connectivity is analog via stereo RCA inputs, and the injection-molded ABS enclosure uses a cleanable, cloth-free grille with an optional lockout plate to resist tampering. Two mounting brackets support desk/table or on-wall installation. For a step-up model with HDMI ARC/CEC and Bluetooth, compare the JBL PSB-2 commercial soundbar.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the PSB-1 Pro support HDMI or Bluetooth?
No. The PSB-1 Pro uses analog stereo RCA inputs only. For HDMI ARC/CEC and Bluetooth, consider the JBL PSB-2.

Is a separate subwoofer required?
No. The all-in-one design provides full-range sound on its own, with output tuned to minimize transfer to neighboring rooms.

How do guests control the volume?
The soundbar can learn a TV remote's IR signal and supports fixed or variable source volume, so a single remote controls the system. A 4-position limiter caps maximum level.

Can it be secured against tampering?
Yes. It includes tamper-resistant safety plates and an optional lockout plate, with a cleanable, cloth-free grille for high-traffic environments.
