Quality Without Compromise

Our Attention To Detail
PMC loudspeakers are hand-built in the UK, where individual components are 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 greater control and efficient energy transfer. The active crossovers also offer in-room tuning adjustments, allowing factory-trained engineers to optimize performance for individual listening environments.
Twin-Cabinet Performance
The BB5 XBD-A SE features two 15-inch Radial™ bass drivers in a substantial twin-cabinet design. Dedicated amplification provides exceptional dynamic headroom, low-frequency authority and the ability to reveal subtle musical details with remarkable clarity.
The Beating Heart
PMC’s ATL™ (Advanced Transmission Line) technology uses two 4m transmission lines to deliver deep, controlled bass extending to 17Hz. Special acoustic materials absorb unwanted frequencies, helping maintain vocal clarity and musical detail even at lower listening volumes.
