PMC prodigy5

With prodigy, PMC bringing their performance-led design ethos to an even wider audience, building on their belief that ultra-high-resolution loudspeakers, if properly designed, can be used throughout the entire audio chain.

That’s why their designs are employed at every stage of music-making, from composers’ music rooms to recording studios, all the way through to the home – preserving the essence of the original performance and delivering it directly to the listener.

And prodigy is a classic example of how we think about speakers.

Designed and built in-house here in Britain, it comprises two models: the compact Prodigy1 standmount and the floorstanding Prodigy5 that you see here.

Both deliver staggering clarity and depth of bass seemingly beyond their size, thanks to their ATL technology – just one of the innovative technologies packed into these speakers, as it is in all PMC designs.

Even tempered and easy to drive, they’ll match with high-quality electronics and, with their consistent characteristics and tonal balance, you can also easily mix and match any PMC speakers to create immersive audio systems for the latest surround music formats.

And yes, their speakers are used in creating those immersive mixes, too.

The PMC prodigy5 floorstander is compact but powerful, taking up no more space than bookshelf speakers on stands thanks to a small footprint suited to any style of room – yet it can fill even larger spaces with weighty, crisply defined music.

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 PMC prodigy5 will blend into any space, with the option of grilles available for those who like their speakers even more discreet.
