The OB1i Signature is a new addition to PMC's esteemed i series signature range, following on from the success of previous models like the TB2i, FB1i, and PB1i. This limited edition speaker model boasts all the aesthetic enhancements of the existing signature range while integrating fine adjustments to the already impressive 24db per octave crossover network. It presents an auditory experience marked by high definition and exceptional finesse, further refined to enhance transparency in the mid and vocal ranges. The improvements are attributed to the detailed crossover network tuning performed by Peter Thomas, who is not only the designer but also the founder of PMC.
One of the remarkable features of the OB1i Signature is the extended warranty period, doubled to an impressive 20 years, reflecting a strong confidence in its build quality and engineering excellence. This warranty is a hallmark of the entire signature series. The speaker's cabinets are handcrafted in Britain, showcasing the luxurious and rare rose palissandre veneer, making it a sophisticated addition to both modern and traditional interiors.
The OB1i Signature features a meticulously engineered six and a half inch bass unit, a 75mm soft dome, and a precision-built SOLONEX™ domed tweeter, collectively creating a vast and vivid audio picture with deep, rich bass. The Advanced Transmission Line (ATL™) technology employed in the OB1i Signature enhances bass extension and control significantly more than its predecessors, making it well-suited to fill larger listening spaces effortlessly.
