PMC BB5 SE Loudspeaker
The BB5 is the largest in the range and sports a striking 15” Radial™, bass unit that complements PMC’s ATL™ (Advanced Transmission Line) bass-loading principle, allowing the speaker to handle music with the widest dynamic range with absolute ease and confidence.
Yet the BB5 isn’t just designed for the loudest works; subtle acoustic material is reproduced with all the dexterity and delicacy of a compact design.

Building on the state-of-the-art performance of PMC’s high-end three-way reference monitors including the PMC BB5 SE, (IB2, MB2, MB2 XBD & BB5), the SE range combines the finest traditions of British cabinet-making and cutting-edge acoustic research and development techniques.
Music lovers can enjoy even greater levels of musicality while appreciating the aesthetic beauty of these special edition models. Meticulous attention has been applied to hone the designs to new standards, adding new internal bracing, computer-modelled driver dispersion surrounds, and custom-designed, specially tuned stands.
All these elements contribute to the production of a purer musical signal, allowing the listener to come as close as possible to the original performance.
The larger SE models are available in both active and passive versions. With passive loudspeakers, the choice of amplification is left open; passive designs work optimally with a correctly specified amplifier. Active designs take loudspeakers to another level; the amplification is precisely tailored to the specific designs and power requirements of the speaker, and is directly coupled to the drive units for superior control and a more efficient transfer of energy.
This increases headroom and resolution, improves transient performance, and produces a more life-like, natural-sounding and more powerful speaker. Active systems can also be adjusted to suit customer taste and the individual listening environment by means of frequency controls – and to guarantee optimum performance in situ, they are always tuned by our factory-trained installation engineers.
No other passive loudspeaker offers this level of resolution and feeling of inexhaustible headroom.
A dedicated PMC BB5-C SE centre channel is also available.
