Paying homage to PSB’s Passif II, which debuted in 1974, the Passif 50 boasts a sleek retro design and features a titanium dome tweeter and ferrofluid damping, which is designed to reduce distortion.

The new speakers feature the old PSB logo, which was originally hand-drawn by founder Paul Barton during a highschool class, and an inscription on the back that reads ‘Passif 50 – 1972-2022’.

The first 500 units sold will come with a handwritten letter from Barton himself.

Pre-orders for the Passif 50 will launch on the 1st August, with shipping expected in September.
