Quality Without Compromise
The BB5-A SE features handcrafted cabinets available in Grand Walnut, Amarone, Natural Oak or Jet Black. Its drivers feature a soft-feel Nextel™ coating, while the PMC75 SE midrange driver incorporates a solid aluminum dispersion flange for clear, detailed vocals across a wider listening area. Custom-designed matching veneer stands with precision spikes provide a stable foundation for optimum performance.
Our Attention To Detail
PMC loudspeakers are hand-built in the UK, where individual components are carefully measured and tested for performance and reliability. Each completed speaker undergoes computer analysis, BBC speech testing and extensive music listening evaluations to ensure consistent quality.
Active Systems
PMC’s active SE systems combine dedicated amplification with custom-designed active crossovers tailored to the loudspeakers. Direct coupling between the amplifiers and drive units provides superior control, efficient energy transfer and improved dynamic performance. The active crossovers also feature in-room tuning controls, allowing factory-trained engineers to optimize the speakers for individual listening environments.
Powerful 15" Radial™ Bass Driver
The BB5-A SE features a 15-inch Radial™ bass driver derived from PMC’s professional BB5 monitor. Capable of reproducing frequencies down to 17Hz, it handles everything from demanding film soundtracks to delicate acoustic performances with exceptional control, dynamics and detail.
The Beating Heart
PMC’s ATL™ (Advanced Transmission Line) technology uses a 4m transmission line to deliver deep, controlled bass extending down to 17Hz. Special acoustic materials absorb unwanted frequencies while preserving vocal clarity and musical detail. Bass remains balanced and well-defined even at lower listening volumes, providing consistent performance across a wide dynamic range.
