PMC prodigy1 Bookshelf Speakers - Black Reviews

prodigy1

PMC's smaller prodigy loudspeaker is a supreme compact standmount/bookshelf design, ideal for small to medium-sized rooms, yet capable of a rich, dynamic sound from a diminutive form.

It’s easy to see and hear that it’s closely related to their compact nearfield monitors, a reference in recording and broadcast facilities worldwide: the prodigy1 is more than capable of resolving detail that puts you in touch with the original performance – no matter the size.

The sweet, open top end and natural midrange brings you vivid vocals and instrumental timbres, with a wide, focused soundstage and nimble, cohesive presentation to draw you into the music and make you smile. And small though the speaker may be, it still contains a full-size Advanced Transmission Line and PMC's Laminair technology, that delivers deep, fast, hard-hitting bass.

The smooth silk black finish will suit any room, with optional sculpted grilles available if required, and the prodigy1 has been designed to match well with everything from modest amplification to high-end, high-power systems.

The prodigy1 offers exceptional clarity while taking up minimal space and can be used on a stand or furniture. Good quality high-mass stands are the solution to realise their optimum performance as they will position them at the ideal height and provide improved stability.

ATL™ featuring Laminair
One of the keys to their legendary natural, uncoloured sound is PMC's Advanced Transmission Line (ATL) bass-loading. ATL uses energy generated by the bass unit in a much more intelligent and efficient way than speaker designs based on ported or sealed boxes. PMC's Laminair airflow technology further enhances ATL and improves definition, timing and eradicates unwanted air noise.

At Home in the Studio
This quest for sonic transparency and neutrality has always been their driving force, using advanced engineering to reproduce music as vividly and faithfully as possible. After all, it’s in their name – the Professional Monitor Company – and PMC's designs are used in studios worldwide to create the sound you can also enjoy on their speakers in your home.

From Studio to Home
At PMC, music is an obsession: getting as close as possible to what’s being played and recorded has always been PMC’s passion. PMC's aim is not to impose an additional character on the music, rather to create a clear window for the artist’s vision, forming a true emotional connection between the music and the listener at home.
