Psallo Kardia
Kardia
This is our Psallo Kardia. Psallo means to sing and Kardia means heart. We believe the name represents very well the capability of these remarkable little speakers.
Detailed Sound & Tight Bass
The Psallo Kardia Are exciting not just because of there frequency response that extends from 32 hz to over 40 kHz. But also because of their amazing detail. As you can see 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.
Cabinets
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
The Psallo Kardia Also lean back. We have done this so that sound from both the woofers and the tweeter reach your ear at exactly the same time. The tweeter is not forward of the woofer like it is with most speakers. This may not seem important until you think about the fact that we as humans can detect direction by turning our head just a few degrees. This shows that we can detect differences in sound less than a milli-second. If the tweeter is forward of the woofers everything above 2500hz is reaching your ear early which is not ideal. When all sound reaches your ear at the same time imaging is considerably improved. This is where the speakers seem to dissolve into the background and the musicians and vocalists are positioned across the room just like being there with you in person.
We have used one of our new high efficiency low distortion 6 inch woofers. Because it has it's own ported chamber we have obtained very tight accurate bass. The 5 inch mid woofer is mounted in a sealed chamber which improves the transient response or speed of the woofer, resulting in outstanding detail and clarity. We have also used our beautiful new 22mm silk dome tweeter. This is operating from 2500 Hz but extends beyond 40 kHz which gives the speaker an open smooth air about it which is quite remarkable in a loudspeaker of this price.
Finishes
We produce the Psallo Kardia In a range of finishes but can on request finish a pair to your own specifications where ever you are in the world.

Psallo Kathar
Kathar
Psallo means to sing and Kathar means to surround. The Psallo Kathar are the matching surround speakers for the Psallo series. They can also be used as wall mounted for an in room music system. They offer considerable benefits over in-wall speakers that are very susceptible to harmonic resonance and poor airflow characteristics.
Detailed Sound & Tight Bass
The Psallo Kathar are exciting not just because of their frequency response that extends from 56 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 Psallo 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.

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

Psallo Lalia
Lalia
Psallo means to sing and Lalia means centre. The Psallo Lalia is the matching centre speaker for the Psallo series, although the Psuche Kathar can also be used as the centre speaker for the Psallo series.
Detailed Sound & Tight Bass
The Psallo Lalia is exciting not just because of it’s frequency response that extends from 50 Hz to over 40 kHz, but also because of it’s amazing detail. The centre speaker is responsible for up to 70% of all sound in some movies. Certainly most speech is transmitted through it. Because of this detail is critical.
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.

Incorporating two of our new high detail 5” woofers and a 22mm silk dome tweeter vocals are smooth and detailed however this speaker is not limited to the vocal spectrum but extends from 50 Hz to 40 kHz so is excellent at supplementing front of stage pan affects as it blends so well with the Psallo Kardia main speakers.

Psallo Kratos
Kratos
Kratos means power and dominion, an attribute we require in our subwoofers. Our Psallo Kratos subwoofer has been designed with several requirements being at the top of our priority list. We wanted a subwoofer to not only be powerful and to truly reflect the dynamics of an explosion or approaching train, we wanted it to be very fast and musical and reproduce the passion of the timpani or string bass. We believe that is exactly what we have achieved with our Psallo Kratos.
Detailed Bass
Featuring an active 10” aluminium cone woofer, a 10” aluminium cone Passive Radiator (air Spring) and a very high power amplifier these subwoofers are not only beautiful they provide quite remarkable bass. Tuned to 25 Hz they provide lifelike energy that is not only heard but felt.
Aerodynamic Profile
Due to the aerodynamic profile when this subwoofer is placed in the room correctly it is often hard to tell where the bass is coming from. This means that it integrates extremely well with the main theatre system or two channel Hifi.
With Phase control, high level input and bypass filters these subwoofers are easy to setup and exciting to use.
