A Message From
The Design
Engineer
After nearly 50 years in business and many years in development, I am proud to
present the aspen series FR30 loudspeaker. A large, but clean, modern, and elegantly
slim 3-way tower speaker that is our modern take on our favorite planar magnetic
hybrid loudspeakers of the past. The clarity and detail of the most modern reference
loudspeaker design with an ease and musicality and power that you’d expect from PS
Audio.
It incorporates much of what we have collectively learned as a company about design
and manufacturing in pursuit of our ultimate sonic vision to oer a complete end-to-end
system. On a personal level, it has been a dream project to put all I’ve learned throughout
my career into a reference product for your musical enjoyment.

aspen FR30
For hard oors – twist to remove bottom 0.375” spiked tip from feet to expose the black
plastic disc underneath.
Note: For carpeted oors – spiked tips should be removed only after standing
bottom speaker cabinet up.
The foam covering the metal base of the bottom speaker enclosure can be placed
immediately to the side and used as a fulcrum to tilt and rotate the speaker onto its
spiked feet.
The bottom .375” spiked tips can then be removed and the included black carpet sliders
(located in the foam packaging covering the metal base of the speaker) can be screwed
into place.
This way, the speaker can be easily slid around during initial listening and setup. When
the nal speaker location is determined, replace carpet sliders with the spiked tips for
best performance.

Conguring
Speaker Feet,

These are leveling feet as well. Loosen the top gap of the foot and adjust the bottom
spiked foot until the speaker is level, and then tighten the top cap into place to lock them
in position.
Aftermarket isolation feet can also be used with a compatible M8 X 1.25 thread to screw
into the aluminum base plate.
