The EB1 stands out as a testament to PMC's expertise in crafting high-fidelity audio solutions, offering an audio experience that pushes the boundaries of precision and clarity. At the heart of its design philosophy is PMC's foundational approach of evolving domestic floorstanders from esteemed professional reference monitors. This innovative process is evident in the transformation from the renowned IB1 professional reference into the sophisticated EB1 floorstander, embodying both aesthetic appeal and acoustic excellence.
The EB1's development showcases a meticulous effort to create a speaker that not only fits seamlessly into a home environment with its slender profile but exceeds the audio performance of its professional predecessor. Central to its groundbreaking capabilities is the newly developed ATL™ (Advanced Transmission Line) technology. This innovation ensures extremely low distortion across the entire audio spectrum while delivering expanded bass extension and control. Notably, the EB1 achieves a remarkable bass response down to 19Hz, thanks to the integration of a 10-inch piston driver within an exceptionally long transmission line.
The design advancements extend to the mid-range frequencies, featuring a sizeable 75mm soft dome mid-range driver housed in an acoustically isolated damped enclosure. This careful isolation contributes to the speaker's refined audio clarity and precision. The narrowing of the cabinet from the original IB1 enhances the already impressive imaging capabilities, giving the EB1 an edge in delivering a focused and detailed soundstage.
With a bespoke compact crossover part of its engineering, the EB1 maintains an impressive precision 24dB per octave network, highlighting PMC's signature commitment to high power handling. The isolated mid-range unit, akin to that in the professional IB1, further enhances the EB1’s sound fidelity by minimizing interference and optimizing acoustic performance.
For those looking to integrate the EB1 into a complete surround sound system, its compatibility with the IB1 or CB6 center channels provides versatile configuration options, with the SB100 subwoofer handling the low-frequency effects channel adeptly. The EB1's commitment to audio mastery ensures it offers scale and weight unmatched by other domestic monitors, making it a standout choice for the discerning audiophile.
