A Day at the NRC With Paul Barton of PSB Speakers
by Doug Schneider

The Canadian loudspeaker industry rose from humble beginnings to worldwide prominence in the 1980s. Today it is renowned for producing some of the finest products in the world. Paradigm, Mirage, Energy and PSB are the largest of the many manufacturers in Canada and have become the cornerstone of the industry. Their products are sold worldwide, have gained acclaim from reviewers and consumers, and stand second to none in their respective markets. However, the industry's status did not rise by accident. The history of each of these companies holds a common thread -- Canada's National Research Council (NRC) located in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

Barton has personally overseen all of the loudspeaker development since PSB's creation in 1972.
