PMC Launches Prophecy Series Loudspeakers
All Image Credit: PMC
PMC has launched its new PMC Prophecy Series, five home-audio models that are designed to set a new benchmark in sound quality and aesthetic appeal. The five models in the range are the prophecy1, two-way standmount, and slimline two-way prophecy5 floorstander. The three-way prophecy7 and flagship prophecy9, feature dual bass drivers. There is also a matching center speaker for multichannel systems, the prophecyC. These new speakers are also said to minimize their impact on the environment. PMC has addressed the packaging designing it for recycling, with cardboard replacing polystyrene, cloth bags instead of plastic, and printing uses non-toxic vegetable-based inks. They also use veneers sourced from sustainable forests and minimally invasive finishing techniques. Each model will be available in one of three finishes; Medium Oak, Blackened Walnut and Natural Walnut.
Each speaker features a long-throw base driver which have been specifically developed for this range and matched to PMC’s Advanced Transmission Line (ATL) technology. The drivers ultra-light, mica-filled cone material provides the ideal combination of rigidity, damping and weight, providing optimal rigidity and responsiveness. High frequencies are handled by a 1″/26mm soft-dome tweeter, that features Ferrofluid cooling, and a specially designed dispersion grille that assists with ultra-controlled directivity up to 180 degrees. The three-way models incorporate a 2”/55mm soft dome mid-range, also from the professional studio models and the Ci series.
The drive units are connected via PMC’s high-order, steep roll-off crossover design. It uses a military-grade circuit board with ultra-thick copper tracks and gold through plating ensures non-inhibited current flow and greater reliability. Careful component selection, precision matching and optimized component positioning provide low component interaction and low coloration. The steep filter slopes ensuring that each drive unit works within its optimum range and presents a well tailored off-axis response.
Rounding off the models the grilles are held in place using concealed magnets and the bespoke open-weave, textured fabric completes the look.
