Podcast: Inside the PSB Passif 50 (& more) w/ Paul Barton

  • Ladies and gentlemen, school is in session. Our teacher today? Paul Barton — the man who founded PSB Speakers in 1972, which this year clocks up its 50th anniversary. I recently sat down with Barton to talk about the new Passif 50 loudspeaker – a modern-day remake of 1974’s Passif 2 loudspeaker – but Barton also shares some personal and company history as well as how the measurement process informs his loudspeaker design decisions. A most illuminating conversation!
