PB1i

About the PB1i

The PMC PB1i is a high-end floorstanding loudspeaker designed for medium to large rooms, delivering a full, rich sound with exceptional bass extension down to 24Hz thanks to its Advanced Transmission Line (ATL) bass-loading technology. It features a combination of two custom 6½" (170mm) ultra-stiff, long-throw doped bass drivers with cast magnesium chassis, a 75mm soft dome midrange in an acoustically inert enclosure, and a PMC/SEAS 27mm Solonex soft dome ferrofluid-cooled tweeter. The drivers are integrated via a hand-built 31-element, 24dB/octave Linkwitz-Riley crossover network, ensuring seamless frequency division and wide dispersion for a natural stereo image. The cabinet is narrow and deep with carefully book-matched veneers and rounded front corners to reduce diffraction and resonance. The PB1i is known for its articulate, dynamic, and unshowy sound that lets the music flow naturally. It is suitable for tri-wiring or tri-amping and can be matched with a wide range of high-quality amplifiers. Available finishes include Oak, Walnut, Black Ash, and Cherry wood veneers. Dimensions including plinth are approximately 1084mm (42.5") high, 204mm (8") wide, and 401mm (15.8") deep, weighing about 26kg (57lbs) each.
