JBL PSB-1 - 2.0 Channel Commercial Soundbar with Volume Limiting and IR Remote Learning in Black Finish

The JBL Professional PSB-1 is a high-fidelity, active 2.0 channel soundbar specifically designed for commercial use in hotel guestrooms and cruise ship staterooms. The PSB-1 delivers superior sound quality while simplifying installation and operation, making it an ideal solution for these unique applications where cost-efficiency and security are critical. Unlike typical consumer-grade soundbars, the PSB-1 combines a full-range stereo sound experience without requiring a separate subwoofer, making it a compact and effective solution for any guest room or stateroom setting.

Engineered for ease of use, the PSB-1 features a 4-position volume limiting switch that enables control over the maximum volume output. This feature ensures that the volume can be set within desired parameters to avoid disturbing neighbors or violating noise regulations, which is essential in the hospitality industry. Additionally, the soundbar supports both fixed and variable source volume modes, giving flexibility in how the volume is controlled, whether directly from the soundbar or via the television's volume control.

One of the standout features of the PSB-1 is its IR learning capability, allowing the soundbar to work with almost any remote control. This means that guests can use their TV remote to control the PSB-1 system without needing to juggle multiple remotes. The PSB-1 can "learn" the volume up and down commands from the television remote, which allows for a seamless user experience. To prevent tampering, a lockout plate is included, ensuring that guests cannot adjust the volume controls or change the source selection.

With a sleek, neutral design that blends effortlessly into any room decor, the PSB-1 fits seamlessly into its environment, maintaining a professional aesthetic while providing top-tier audio performance. The system also includes an internal universal power supply, eliminating the need for bulky wall adapters, and supports global installations with AC power input ranging from 100-240V, 50-60 Hz. For convenience and safety, the soundbar can be securely mounted to the wall or desk/table, preventing theft or drifting on cruise ships and hotels. The system also features an auto standby mode, reducing energy consumption when not in use, making it an environmentally friendly choice.

The PSB-1 also boasts a range of practical features, such as non-absorbent materials that allow for easy cleaning, ensuring it maintains a professional appearance even in high-traffic environments. With mounting hardware, audio cables, cable adapters, and a remote control included, the PSB-1 provides everything needed for quick and easy installation.

Overall, the JBL PSB-1 soundbar is the ideal choice for hospitality and cruise ship applications, providing reliable, high-quality audio with features tailored to guest use, ease of installation, and enhanced security and durability.
