The versatility of the PSB Alpha AM5 speakers is expressed both in the absence of genre boundaries and in the switching methods. In addition to the wired connection, wireless communication with the source is provided. Built-in Bluetooth supports the aptX codec, you can connect any mobile device or stationary player. In terms of traditional wired connections, the speakers boast a 3.5mm jack, a dedicated Phono jack for turntables, as well as optics and USB (there’s a built-in DAC). The speaker capabilities are complemented by a separate subwoofer output.
