Overview

PSB's Alpha C10 is a 5.25 inch speaker finished in walnut and built for tabletop placement, sized to work as a center channel, a surround channel, or a general woofer within a larger home theater layout. It connects over RCA for line-level hookup to an amplifier or receiver.

PSB has built budget and mid-range speakers for decades, and the Alpha C10 reads as a shelf-friendly piece meant to disappear into a media console rather than stand as a floor tower. Because it uses RCA rather than speaker-wire binding posts, it needs a receiver or amp with a compatible line-level output. The listed roles of center, surround, and woofer point to a speaker meant to flex across positions in a system rather than one built for a single dedicated seat.

  • Walnut finish
  • RCA line-level connectivity
  • Tabletop mounting

Who it's for

Buyers assembling a modest multi-speaker setup who need one small unit to cover a center or surround position will find the size and mounting style workable. It is not aimed at anyone wanting a large floor-standing tower or a heavy-output subwoofer.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Compact 5.25 inch cabinet fits shelf or tabletop spots
  • Walnut finish blends into furniture rather than standing out
  • Listed for center, surround, or general woofer duty
Cons
  • RCA input only, no speaker-wire terminals mentioned
  • No stated power handling or frequency range
  • Tabletop mount only, no wall-bracket hardware listed

Performance notes

The 5.25 inch driver sizes this as a compact-cabinet speaker, which typically favors midrange clarity over deep bass extension. RCA input means it depends on an external amplifier stage rather than any built-in amplification, so output is governed by whatever receiver or amp it is paired with. Tabletop mounting is the only placement method specified, with no bracket or wall-mount hardware listed.
