designed speaker that delivers the
ultimate in musical performance for
your personal lifestyle needs. Now
music lovers can indulge their passion
for great sound and music in their
choice of personal spaces whether for a
main music system in the living room,
as their main speakers for a multichannel movie experience in the family
room, or as the ultimate music speaker
in the intimacy of their office, den, or
bedroom. The versatile PCS makes it
possible to have the best of all worlds.
3-way in a personal size package
The 19-inch tall PCS is a three-way
system—unusual for such a small
enclosure—incorporating THIEL’s
latest driver technology, rugged cabinet
construction, and phase/time correct
design. All-metal, low-distortion
drivers are used for outstanding tonal
response and the advanced phase
correct crossover greatly improves
spatial fidelity and clarity.
As a nearfield monitor or
the ultimate desktop speaker

Tweeter/Midrange coaxial array
One of the PCS’s most innovative design features
is a coaxial tweeter/midrange array where the two
drivers’ diaphragms share the

Woofer
The PCS’s 6.5-inch woofer
uses a metal diaphragm to
eliminate resonances in the
operating range for very
clear and open reproduction.
Expensive short coil/long
gap, copper-stabilized motor
systems in all the PCS
drivers dramatically reduce
distortion. The 2.5 pound
woofer magnet increases output capability and all
the PCS drivers are shielded to allow placement
near televisions and computer monitors.

Cabinet construction
The compact, ported cabinet is built with a 2-inch thick
front baffle, 1-inch thick cabinet walls, and is internally
braced for extreme rigidity to reduce unwanted vibration,
improving clarity and spatial performance. The rounded
baffle’s shape reduces diffraction effects, also improving
transient and spatial performance, and its sloped front
correctly time aligns the coaxial driver with the woofer.
