PMC MB2-P SE Passive 3-Way Floorstanding Speakers (Pair)

The MB is the mid-sized model in the SE range and delivers all the emotion and clarity of the IB2 with the ability to resolve even greater bass detail; it can produce low-frequency audio down to a staggering 20Hz with ease. The radically engineered Radial™ bass unit with its immense exo-skeleton offers excellent physical and thermal stability; the cone has a perfect rigid structure, permitting enormous excursions, and the exposed fins act as a heat sink, keeping the coil cool at all times.

Many of the SE series loudspeakers are now manufactured in active and passive versions. The IB2se is exclusively passive, and the enormous power output of the BB5 XBDse can only be delivered in an active configuration. With all other models, the choice is yours.

With passive loudspeakers, the choice of amplification is left up to the end user. If you already have a favoured amplifier, this may be the route to take; with a supreme-quality amplifier, you are guaranteed superb performance. Much of this is due to the careful design of our speakers’ passive crossovers, which divide the incoming audio signal into the frequency bands best suited to each driver with absolute precision and transparency. The calibre of a crossover has a powerful influence on the overall sound quality of a loudspeaker; unsurprisingly, we allow no compromises in either our design or construction standards. The passive crossover’s foundation is its military-grade, glass-fibre board with the thickest possible conductive copper tracks, which keep resistance low and maximise power delivery to the drive units. Components are matched and selected following careful listening tests, and hand-soldered to guarantee the best possible sound quality and reliability. The layout of the board is carefully chosen to prevent unwanted interactions between components.

A dedicated MB2-C SE centre channel is also available.
