The twin-cabinet, pure analogue BB5 XBD-Active, with its distinctive 15-inch Radial™ drivers, features a vast reservoir of separately housed power amplification - more than 2400W per channel - with 3dB of extra low-frequency headroom compared to the single-cabinet BB5, and a bass response that goes down to an awe-inspiring 17Hz, making for a wider frequency range than any other speaker we manufacture. The ultra-clean highs are provided by PMC’s 34mm high-frequency driver and the signature mid-range from the hand-crafted 75mm mid-range dome driver, so microscopic details are well and truly catered for.

PMC’s active designs take loudspeakers to another level; the amplification is precisely tailored to the specific designs and power requirements of the speaker, and is directly coupled to the drive units for superior control and a more efficient transfer of energy. This increases headroom and resolution, improves transient performance, and produces a more life-like, natural-sounding and more powerful speaker. Active systems can also be adjusted to suit customer taste and the individual listening environment by means of frequency controls - and to guarantee optimum performance in situ, they are always tuned by our factory-trained installation engineers.
