The OB1i is the first floorstanding model
to employ three precision drivers and a sophisticated hand built
24dB per octave crossover. These factors create a major step up
in performance with improved resolution in all areas.
The most noticeable feature of the OB1i is the complement of
three precision drive units. Between the new PMC/SEAS® developed
SONOLEX tweeter and PMCs unique bass unit sits the
dedicated 75mm soft dome mid-range, housed in its own acoustically
isolated enclosure. This professionally proven drive unit produces
a wholly transparent mid range creating clarity of vocal that
is truly tangible. The increase in bass definition derives from
the stiffer piston-like woofer and upgraded ATL. The bass
attack is immediate and packs a dynamic punch.
Feeding the three precision drive units of the quality found
in the OB1i requires a very sophisticated crossover. Therefore,
it features a hugely engineered network with ultra steep roll-off
curves (24dB/octave) which guarantees high power handling and
a supreme natural in-room response.
To guarantee the optimum function of all the featured components
the cabinet has been engineered from 18mm and 25mm ultra high
density Medite. This not only creates a highly stable enclosure,
but also eliminates cabinet flex and colouration.
As with all PMC designs the OB1i is efficient and can be driven
with modestly powered amplification but will excel with more exotic
source equipment and is equally at home in medium, and larger
open plan rooms.
