Frequently Asked Questions
PSI's CPR is unique in its entirely analogue implementation; it's a passive circuit working directly on the phase response, unlike DSP-based solutions which can introduce artifacts.
It's noticeable, especially in warmer environments, but not excessive; adequate ventilation is recommended to mitigate it.
While compact, their detail and accuracy are best appreciated in a room with decent acoustic treatment; smaller rooms might experience some low-frequency build-up.
