Frequently Asked Questions

What are the PSB IQ1 BluOS Streaming Powered Speakers?

The PSB IQ1 BluOS Streaming Powered Speakers are a compact all-in-one stereo system combining built-in amplification, a high-resolution DAC, and the BluOS streaming platform in a single pair of bookshelf-sized speakers. Built on the same acoustic platform as PSB's award-winning Alpha IQ, the IQ1 delivers genuine left and right channel stereo separation without requiring a separate amplifier, receiver, or streaming device. The PSB IQ1 is available at Trutone Electronics in Mississauga, Ontario.

What streaming services does the PSB IQ1 support?

The PSB IQ1 BluOS Streaming Powered Speakers support more than 20 streaming services through the BluOS platform, including Spotify, TIDAL, Qobuz, Amazon Music, Pandora, and SiriusXM. Apple AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, and Qobuz Connect allow direct streaming from those apps without routing audio through the BluOS Controller App. Bluetooth with aptX Adaptive handles wireless playback from any compatible phone, tablet, or computer.

Does the PSB IQ1 have a built-in phono stage for a turntable?

The PSB IQ1 BluOS Streaming Powered Speakers include a built-in MM phono preamp, allowing a moving-magnet turntable to connect directly without a separate phono stage. This makes the IQ1 a fully self-contained system for vinyl playback alongside streaming, TV audio, and other sources. The PSB IQ1 is available at Trutone Electronics in Mississauga, Ontario.

How does the PSB IQ1 connect to a television?

The PSB IQ1 BluOS Streaming Powered Speakers include an HDMI eARC input that connects directly to a TV's HDMI eARC port, enabling lossless audio playback and TV remote volume control without a soundbar or receiver. An optical digital input is also available for televisions that lack an HDMI eARC port. HDMI eARC supports higher-quality audio formats than standard ARC, making the IQ1 a genuine step up from built-in TV speakers.

Can the PSB IQ1 play high-resolution audio?

The PSB IQ1 BluOS Streaming Powered Speakers support high-resolution audio playback up to 24-bit/192kHz through an onboard audiophile-grade DAC. BluOS natively passes high-resolution streams from TIDAL, Qobuz, and Amazon Music Unlimited at full resolution without downsampling. A USB-C audio input provides a second path for 24-bit hi-res playback from a laptop, phone, or portable music player.

How does the wired connection between the PSB IQ1 speakers work?

The PSB IQ1 BluOS Streaming Powered Speakers connect with a single included cable running from the primary speaker to the secondary speaker, keeping both channels synchronized with no audio delay. This wired link is a deliberate engineering decision that eliminates the wireless overhead required to synchronize two independent speakers, allowing PSB to focus the system budget on amplification, drivers, DSP, and streaming capabilities.

How much amplifier power does the PSB IQ1 have?

The PSB IQ1 BluOS Streaming Powered Speakers deliver 270 watts of total system power, with 90 watts dedicated to each woofer and a shared two-channel Burr-Brown Class-D amplifier providing 45 watts per channel to the tweeters. A dual power supply configuration supports the full amplifier output. PSB selected the Burr-Brown Class-D platform for its combination of high output, efficiency, and sonic performance within the compact IQ1 cabinet.

Can the PSB IQ1 be connected to a powered subwoofer?

The PSB IQ1 BluOS Streaming Powered Speakers include a dedicated subwoofer output with DSP-enabled high-pass and low-pass filters for clean integration with any powered subwoofer. The DSP crossover assigns bass frequencies to the subwoofer while keeping the IQ1's woofers operating in their optimal range. This makes the IQ1 a scalable setup for larger rooms or listeners who want a fuller low-frequency foundation.

Does the PSB IQ1 work with smart home and voice control systems?

The PSB IQ1 BluOS Streaming Powered Speakers integrate natively with Control4, Crestron, Nice, RTI, and URC smart home automation platforms through the BluOS ecosystem. Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant provide voice control, and Siri is available through Apple AirPlay 2.

What is BluOS and what does it offer on the PSB IQ1?

BluOS is a premium multi-room streaming platform developed by Bluesound, part of Lenbrook — the same group that owns PSB and NAD — giving the PSB IQ1 access to more than 20 streaming services, internet radio, and personal music libraries through a single app on iOS, Android, macOS, and Windows. BluOS allows the IQ1 to link with up to 63 other BluOS-enabled components throughout a home for whole-home synchronized playback. The BluOS Controller App also provides direct access to volume, input selection, and two custom presets for favourite stations or playlists.
