The P5 uses a 0.75” black anodized aluminum dome tweeter to extend the high-frequency response further than any Alpha ever before while lowering distortion to deliver layered sound with detail and clarity. Available in a choice of simulated Walnut or Black Ash, the P5 delivers outsized performance compared to its nearest competitors. Simply add a subwoofer (for even deeper bass) and\/or other Alpha models for an awesome home theater experience.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eFAQ \u0026amp; Support\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePSB Alpha P3\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/content-psbspeakers-com.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2021\/03\/PSB_Owners-Manual_Alpha-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ePSB Owners Manual Alpha (English) (PDF)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/content-psbspeakers-com.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2021\/03\/PSB_Alpha-P3-Data-Sheet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eDatasheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePSB Alpha P5\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/content-psbspeakers-com.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2021\/03\/PSB_Owners-Manual_Alpha.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ePSB Owners Manual Alpha (English) (PDF)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/content-psbspeakers-com.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2021\/03\/PSB_Alpha_P5_DataSheet_Revised.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eDatasheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat You Get\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePSB Alpha owner's manual\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2 Bookshelf loudspeakers\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2 Grilles\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e8 Self-adhesive rubber feet\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eQuick Start Guide\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eConnection Diagram\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWarranty Card\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eShipping Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eShips from OGHQ Warehouse.
