PMC is a British company that specializes in designing and manufacturing high quality loudspeakers and professional monitoring systems. Their products are used in various settings, from professional recording studios to home audio systems. PMC's technology is particularly noted for its Advanced Transmission Line (ATL) design, which enhances the bass output and audio clarity. Their products cater to audiophiles and professionals seeking accurate and immersive sound reproduction.

The OB1i is a groundbreaking floorstanding model that stands out by incorporating three precision drivers and a meticulously crafted 24dB per octave crossover. This robust engineering results in a significant enhancement in audio performance, providing improved resolution across all frequencies. The model features an impressive combination of three precision drive units, including the innovative PMC/SEAS® developed SONOLEX™ tweeter and PMC’s distinctive bass driver. Nestled between these components is a dedicated 75mm soft dome mid-range driver, which is housed in an acoustically isolated compartment. This advanced design ensures a seamless and transparent mid-range, delivering vocal clarity with a tangible presence.

The OB1i excels in bass precision thanks to its highly rigid piston-like woofer and the advanced ATL™ (Advanced Transmission Line) technology. This ensures an immediate bass attack that provides a dynamic and impactful listening experience. Central to the operation of its three precision drivers is a sophisticated crossover network with ultra-steep roll-off curves of 24dB per octave. This intricate system assures high power handling and delivers a supremely natural acoustic response within any room setting.

The cabinet of the OB1i is a testament to its superior design, constructed from ultra-high density Medite™ in thicknesses of 18mm and 25mm. This construction provides a stable and robust enclosure, effectively reducing cabinet flex and eliminating any coloration in the sound. True to all PMC designs, the OB1i boasts remarkable efficiency, capable of being driven by modestly powered amplifiers, yet it shines when paired with high-end source equipment. Its versatile design makes it an ideal choice for medium-sized rooms as well as larger open-plan living spaces.

Furthermore, registering the OB1i within 10 days of purchase grants owners a 20-year warranty, ensuring long-term satisfaction and peace of mind.
