The BB5 XBD-A represents a pinnacle of audio engineering, designed for those who seek an uncompromising listening experience. As the top-tier offering in the PMC lineup, this reference loudspeaker is the culmination of advanced acoustic principles and cutting-edge technology. The BB5 XBD-A's impressive architecture features a 34mm high-frequency driver, a 75mm mid-range dome driver, and dual 15-inch radial bass units. These components are housed within sophisticated twin ATL™ (Advanced Transmission Line) cabinets, creating a sonic clarity and depth that is unparalleled in the field of professional audio.
The collaboration between Bryston and PMC on the active electronics ensures unmatched audio performance and reliability, providing audio professionals with a tool that delivers consistently high quality sound reproduction. Notably, the BB5 XBD-A achieves staggering sound pressure levels and an expansive frequency response that dips as low as 17Hz, capturing the full dynamic range of any live music performance without distortion.
PMC’s ATL™ technology is responsible for the exceptional bass extension of the BB5 XBD-A, furnishing the system with substantial low frequency headroom. This eliminates the need for soffit mounting, allowing for flexible placement within a studio environment. The loudspeaker’s remarkable bass capabilities also make additional subwoofers unnecessary, thanks to its dedicated .1 effects channel input.
The BB5 XBD-A is a staple in prominent studios worldwide, delivering its trademark sound quality at Athens Concert Hall, BBC’s Maida Vale studios, Prince’s personal recording studio, and Metropolis Studios in London, among others. The system has been instrumental in mastering award-winning projects, including the Beatles' "Love" album, which garnered a TEC award, and Grammy®-recognized projects for "Best Compilation Soundtrack Album For Motion Picture, Television Or Other Visual Media" and "Best Surround Sound Album."
To enhance your investment in this exceptional product, PMC offers a 20-year warranty when the loudspeaker is registered within 10 days of purchase, subject to applicable terms and conditions.
