Truly amazing bass performance from such a compact floorstander, a new multi award winning, affordable floorstander from PMC

This is a phenomenal communicator, packed with verve and fun, combining a
sweet, open treble with wide dispersion to provide a vast listening
‘sweet-spot’ with excellent focus.

It also delivers transparent, natural vocals and instrumental sound, and an untainted, solid bottom end.

Thanks to an extended Advanced Transmission Line with twin Laminair vents for
smoother airflow, the prodigy5 lives up to its name with prodigious bass power. That is combined with tight, clean control for a really dynamic, thrilling presentation of the true weight of the music, almost regardless of where you place the speakers in the room.

Designed to reveal all the quality of your favoured electronics, the slender prodigy5 will blend into any space, with the option of grilles availablefor those who like their speakers even more discreet. 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 our 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 prodig5 has been designed to match well with everything from modest amplification to high-end, high-power systems.

The speaker is ideal for use in small-to-medium listening environments  where space is at a premium, but where you still want detailed bass,  ultra-realistic mids and delicate highs with maximum musicality. Equally happy mounted on a stand or a bookshelf, the Prodigy 1 offers maximum flexibility for placement, and also makes an excellent choice for effects speakers in an immersive sound system.

Laminair

PMC’s Laminair™ aerodynamic vent takes audio performance to the next level, by applying ATL aerodynamic principles from high-performance engineering used from F1 to Le Mans and creating an even smoother, laminar air flow at the exit from the transmission line.

ATL designs involve air moving at high speeds and under pressure.Reducing turbulence and drag at the ATL vent reduces resistance, increases efficiency, eliminates air noise and provides bass with supreme timing and the widest possible dynamic range.The combination of ATL and Laminair takes audio quality to unparalleled new heights:

  • Faster, cleaner bass and higher definition sound throughout
  • Turbulence is eliminated, increasing the efficiency of the ATL
  • Removes air noise — only the music remains
  • Higher maximum output and bass with supreme timing and dynamics

Advanced Transmission Line (ATL)

DEEPER, CLEARER, CLEANER BASS & MORE

The Unique Benefits:

  • More detailed, more natural
  • Full, rich sound at any volume level
  • Deeper bass from a smaller cabinet

The source of PMC’s legendary natural, realistic sound is the Advanced Transmission Line (ATL) bass-loading technology, professionally proven all around the world.

ATL uses energy generated by the bass unit in a much more intelligent, efficient way than speaker designs based on ported or sealed boxes. In ATL loudspeakers, the highly braced cabinet is lined with a multitude of custom-designed acoustic materials that absorb all but the very lowest frequencies. These exit from a front-panel vent, extending the low-frequency response, and creating the impression of a far larger speaker with an extra, ultra-high-quality bass unit.

ATL improves more than just the bass response: because the low end is clean and clear, it doesn’t mask the rest of the music. Vocals, in particular, are beautifully projected and ultra-vivid.

ATL loudspeakers offer another benefit. The ATL bass extension does not change with volume level — so even when listening quietly, the bass sounds balanced and well defined.
