The PB1i, the latest addition to the acclaimed iSeries, leaves a striking impression with its remarkable impact, dynamics, and sheer scale. This model is ideal for those who desire razor-sharp imaging and captivating presentation in a sleek and slender design. The PB1i's capability to capture intricate details in the mid and high frequencies is a result of the integration of a custom-developed PMC/SEAS® tweeter and a robust three-inch (75mm) soft dome mid-range.
PMC's relentless pursuit of excellence in driver technology has culminated in the creation of an innovative bass driver uniquely crafted for the PB1i. This component features an ultra-stiff lightweight cone paired with a substantial magnet assembly, resulting in an exceedingly powerful performance. The synergy of two such drivers operating in harmony within a newly designed Advanced Transmission Line (ATL) ensures a pristine, swift, and remarkably extended bass response.
While the PB1i's construction is robust, it offers an easy load, making it compatible with a variety of high-quality amplifiers. This user-friendliness is evident during auditions, as the speaker maintains a smooth and consistent response. The seamless integration of the high, mid, and bass drivers is facilitated by a meticulously hand-built, 31-element, 24dB per octave crossover network. This assembly of hand-selected components meticulously divides the amplifier's incoming signal, allowing only the requisite frequency range to reach each of the three drivers. This enhances power handling capacity and optimizes the speaker's impressive dispersion characteristics.
Listeners can enjoy a naturally rich balance and stereo imaging across an extensive area, beyond just the prime listening spot. Excelling in both medium and large rooms, the PB1i pairs well with everything from modest systems to highly exotic source equipment. To ensure long-term satisfaction, buyers can obtain a 20-year warranty on the PB1i by registering the new product within ten days of purchase, though terms and conditions apply.
