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.

ATL Technology

One of the keys to our legendary natural, uncoloured sound is our 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. Our Laminair airflow technology further enhances ATL and improves definition, and timing and eradicates unwanted air noise.

Running In

When loudspeakers are new they will take time to reach their full potential. It is often debated whether any solid-state equipment, such as CD players or transistor-based power amplifiers change with use, but the characteristics of mechanical devices such as loudspeakers do alter and improve their performance significantly after a short ‘running in’ period.
The science is simple; as the soft material surrounding the dome or woofer cone is flexed it will eventually reach a point where it has optimum compliance allowing the drive unit to move more freely. This translates to greater accuracy
and speed of attack in the bass region and the mid and high frequency produces a far more vivid audio picture. This ‘running in’ period takes approximately 50 hours of normal use.

Speaker positioning 

With their unique ATLTM Advanced Transmission Line design, wide dispersion, ultra-low distortion and smooth bass roll-off, PMC loudspeakers are more forgiving of difficult room conditions and placement constraints than conventional designs
so you will be able to achieve a superb sound throughout the room with little effort. We do encourage you to spend some time experimenting in your own room in order to achieve the very best results, remembering that small changes in
location can often influence system performance.
Room shape, size, construction and interior decoration vary immensely and therefore influence the sound in different ways. The following guidelines are suggestions for the starting point to locate your new speakers. Fine-tuning of their positioning can start from here
