Frequently Asked Questions - Imagine XA PSB

What is the best placement for the PSB Imagine XA speakers?

For Dolby Atmos, place the Imagine XA as front or surround height channels at or above ear level, angled toward the listening position. Ideal mounting height is 6-8 feet.

Can I use the Imagine XA as regular bookshelf speakers without Atmos?

Yes, they can be used as standard bookshelf speakers, but their angled design is optimized for height channel duty. For traditional stereo, place them at ear level.

How do I connect the Imagine XA to my receiver?

Use standard speaker wire. Connect the positive (+) terminal on the speaker to the positive output on the receiver, and negative (-) to negative. Ensure proper polarity for best sound.

What amplifier power is recommended for the Imagine XA?

An amplifier delivering 15-80 watts per channel is recommended. The speakers have 87 dB sensitivity, so they work well with moderate power.

How do I wall-mount the Imagine XA?

Use the included wall mounting template to mark screw positions. Install appropriate anchors (not included) for wall type, then align the speaker's keyhole slots onto the screws.

Can I bi-wire or bi-amp the Imagine XA?

No, the Imagine XA has a single set of binding posts and does not support bi-wiring or bi-amping. Use standard single-wire connections.

What is the warranty coverage for the Imagine XA?

Drivers are covered for 5 years, and any electronic components (if applicable) for 1 year from purchase date. Keep your original receipt.

How do I clean the Imagine XA speakers?

Wipe the cabinet with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use any liquids, abrasive cleaners, or sprays. Avoid touching the driver cones.

Is there a break-in period for the Imagine XA?

Yes, speakers typically require 20-50 hours of play at moderate volume for the suspension to loosen and achieve optimal performance.

What should I do if one speaker is not producing sound?

First, check speaker wire connections at both ends. Ensure the receiver is set to output both channels. Swap the suspect speaker with a known working one to isolate the issue.
